This young couple spends part of the year in Japan and part of the year in the US. Their request was to fit a traditional Japanese bathroom into their tight space on a budget and create additional storage. The footprint remained the same on the vanity/toilet side of the room. In the place of the existing shower, we created a linen closet and in the place of the original built in tub we created a wet room with a shower area and a deep soaking tub.

Carved out of a mountainside site, our client’s Canmore retreat was the reward to balance a frantic business life in Japan. The terrain and winter beauty of the site was the foundation for our design intent. Pairing gleaming walnut with rugged stonework artistry created a welcoming and captivating atmosphere. Warmth of material selections offered an engaging and pleasant environment luminous with elements created to slowly calm and sooth. Artistry also defined the crafting and honed qualities of the cabinetry and wood trim detailing throughout.

The design of this remodel of a small two-level residence in Noe Valley reflects the owner's passion for Japanese architecture. Having decided to completely gut the interior partitions, we devised a better-arranged floor plan with traditional Japanese features, including a sunken floor pit for dining and a vocabulary of natural wood trim and casework. Vertical grain Douglas Fir takes the place of Hinoki wood traditionally used in Japan. Natural wood flooring, soft green granite and green glass backsplashes in the kitchen further develop the desired Zen aesthetic. A wall to wall window above the sunken bath/shower creates a connection to the outdoors. Privacy is provided through the use of switchable glass, which goes from opaque to clear with a flick of a switch. We used in-floor heating to eliminate the noise associated with forced-air systems.

Located in the residential area of Encino Sandra Costa was called to meet with six Japanese businessmen who spoke little English. The referral to the new build restaurant started with an introduction by her longtime client Stan Lerner. In addition to having Sandra design his ultra-modern state of the art penthouse, Stan hired Sandra to remodel and furnish a 16 story Skyline Condominium property in downtown Los Angeles. The project as he explained would be simple. “In the main dining room, my vision was for Japan to meet Time Square. The colors of the moving rotating shades were hypnotic. I balanced the glamorous ceiling with a giant onyx slab that resembled an oyster shell. In the entry, I had the giant head carved from Styrofoam.

William called in the Pro’s to get this job done right. He had an existing pond that needed some serious TLC! We took apart his pond and stream, completely redesigning the stream, waterfall and full natural rock lining and bottom of the pond. We turned this old style looking pond into something that looks like it existed in nature! William absolutely loved his new oasis and had imported some amazing koi fish straight from Japan.

Wabi-sabi is a Japanese philosophy which is based on the belief that everything imperfect is beautiful: asymmetry, irregularity, and transience. All these things share a certain roughness, simplicity, and uniqueness that makes them beautiful, despite their imperfect shape and texture.

Natural light transforms this space throughout the day. We paired natural materials and varied textures to create a sense of ease that comes with summer by the water.
