For this project we extended the small primary bathroom into the hallway's laundry closet, allowing a much more generous shower space. The client chose beautiful Porcelanosa tiles and sink. We custom built a white oak vanity cabinet and matching wall-mounted shelves and window sill. We also replaced the window and wall fan, and installed a new Schluter heated floor system. The Toto toilet includes a Toto bidet. We also added several additional outlets in strategic places, plus the built-in lighting and outlet in the Robern medicine cabinet.

At the heat of summer, is there anything better than being able to relax in the sunshine in your own garden? No one wants to be out there laboring away in the heat, you want to be enjoying a bit of rest and relaxation. You certainly do not want to be managing the needs of living wall with its constant need for watering, feeding and pruning. That is where Vistafolia® comes in. We specialize in transforming gardens into idyllic, practical pieces of nature for everyone to enjoy. Maximize the space available by turning to us to provide a lush, year-round artificial green walls as a completely maintenance-free alternative to the real thing.

Every space in this home has been meticulously thought through, from the ground floor open-plan living space with its beautiful concrete floors and contemporary designer-kitchen, to the large roof-top deck enjoying spectacular views of the North-Shore. All rooms have high-ceilings, indoor radiant heating and large windows/skylights providing ample natural light.

Occupying the space between the ground and the tree canopy, the residence provides an unfolding spatial experience relating the interior spaces to the adjacent landscape. The arrangement of the guest wing, main living spaces and bedroom wing, which wrap along the hill’s crest, is a response to the topography, solar orientations and views beyond. From the entry courtyard, the low profile of the house and selective openings through the façade allow for a playful hide and reveal of the landscape.

The house is sited to engage the undulating hillside and capture the spectacular views of Mount Tamalpais and the San Francisco Bay. A curved retaining wall follows the contours of the hillside and anchors the house to the steep site. The house is tucked under the living roof, which visually merges the house with the land. Growing out of the hillside, the roof is carved away to form a protected courtyard for the pool. Three volumes housing the living room, kitchen-dining area, and master bedroom rise up above the living roof with shed roofs angled to capture the sun for photovoltaic and solar hot water panels. The house incorporates passive and active heating and cooling systems, battery storage, and a cistern for water runoff management. Photography by David Wakely

This spacious bathroom was designed to satisfy both present and future needs of the owners young daughter. Taking advantage of unused space it was totally reconfigured into what could only be described as every woman's fantasy bathroom. Consisting of a whirlpool tub, a frameless shower with seating, heated floors, toilet and bidet, custom cabinets and adjoining walk-in closet it is more typical of a master bath than that of a child's.

Photo credit: Scott McDonald @ Hedrich Blessing 7RR-Ecohome: The design objective was to build a house for a couple recently married who both had kids from previous marriages. How to bridge two families together? The design looks forward in terms of how people live today. The home is an experiment in transparency and solid form; removing borders and edges from outside to inside the house, and to really depict “flowing and endless space”. The house floor plan is derived by pushing and pulling the house’s form to maximize the backyard and minimize the public front yard while welcoming the sun in key rooms by rotating the house 45-degrees to true north. The angular form of the house is a result of the family’s program, the zoning rules, the lot’s attributes, and the sun’s path. We wanted to construct a house that is smart and efficient in terms of construction and energy, both in terms of the building and the user. We could tell a story of how the house is built in terms of the constructability, structure and enclosure, with a nod to Japanese wood construction in the method in which the siding is installed and the exposed interior beams are placed in the double height space. We engineered the house to be smart which not only looks modern but acts modern; every aspect of user control is simplified to a digital touch button, whether lights, shades, blinds, HVAC, communication, audio, video, or security. We developed a planning module based on a 6-foot square room size and a 6-foot wide connector called an interstitial space for hallways, bathrooms, stairs and mechanical, which keeps the rooms pure and uncluttered. The house is 6,200 SF of livable space, plus garage and basement gallery for a total of 9,200 SF. A large formal foyer celebrates the entry and opens up to the living, dining, kitchen and family rooms all focused on the rear garden. The east side of the second floor is the Master wing and a center bridge connects it to the kid’s wing on the west. Second floor terraces and sunscreens provide views and shade in this suburban setting. The playful mathematical grid of the house in the x, y and z axis also extends into the layout of the trees and hard-scapes, all centered on a suburban one-acre lot. Many green attributes were designed into the home; Ipe wood sunscreens and window shades block out unwanted solar gain in summer, but allow winter sun in. Patio door and operable windows provide ample opportunity for natural ventilation throughout the open floor plan. Minimal windows on east and west sides to reduce heat loss in winter and unwanted gains in summer. Open floor plan and large window expanse reduces lighting demands and maximizes available daylight. Skylights provide natural light to the basement rooms. Durable, low-maintenance exterior materials include stone, ipe wood siding and decking, and concrete roof pavers. Design is based on a 2' planning grid to minimize construction waste. Basement foundation walls and slab are highly insulated. FSC-certified walnut wood flooring was used. Light colored concrete roof pavers to reduce cooling loads by as much as 15%. 2x6 framing allows for more insulation and energy savings. Super efficient windows have low-E argon gas filled units, and thermally insulated aluminum frames. Permeable brick and stone pavers reduce the site’s storm-water runoff. Countertops use recycled composite materials. Energy-Star rated furnaces and smart thermostats are located throughout the house to minimize duct runs and avoid energy loss. Energy-Star rated boiler that heats up both radiant floors and domestic hot water. Low-flow toilets and plumbing fixtures are used to conserve water usage. No VOC finish options and direct venting fireplaces maintain a high interior air quality. Smart home system controls lighting, HVAC, and shades to better manage energy use. Plumbing runs through interior walls reducing possibilities of heat loss and freezing problems. A large food pantry was placed next to kitchen to reduce trips to the grocery store. Home office reduces need for automobile transit and associated CO2 footprint. Plan allows for aging in place, with guest suite than can become the master suite, with no need to move as family members mature.
