We're absolutely thrilled to share our latest project with you—a home renovation that's redefined the very heart of a home. Situated in the charming neighborhood of Redwood City, California, this journey began back in mid-September and has been nothing short of extraordinary.
This project reflects our unwavering dedication to craftsmanship and innovation. We set out on a mission to breathe new life into an outdated kitchen, transforming it into a modern, practical, and visually stunning culinary space. The results have truly left us in awe.
Let's take a closer look at the highlights:
Custom Cabinetry: Our talented artisans poured their hearts into meticulously crafting custom cabinets that seamlessly blend functionality with timeless beauty. These cabinets not only offer ample storage but also elevate the kitchen's overall aesthetics.
Quartz Countertops: We spared no expense in selecting the finest quartz countertops, adding a touch of sophistication and durability to this culinary masterpiece.
Porcelain Tile Backsplash: The backsplash itself is a work of art, with carefully chosen porcelain tiles that complement the color scheme and bring texture to the space.
Plumbing Fixtures: We introduced a new generation of plumbing fixtures, marrying form and function for maximum convenience and style.
LED Lighting: The kitchen now bathes in a warm, inviting glow, thanks to the installation of 12 new LED lights thoughtfully placed to enhance both ambiance and functionality.
eSPC Flooring: As part of the broader renovation, our craftsmanship extended beyond the kitchen, with new eSPC floors installed throughout the entire house. This transformation didn't just affect the kitchen; it enhanced the entire living space.
As for the project timeline, our dedicated team worked tirelessly day in and day out to ensure every detail was just perfect. From mid-September to late October, we brought a vision to life, all while minimizing disruptions to the homeowners' daily lives.

Designed to embrace an extensive and unique art collection including sculpture, paintings, tapestry, and cultural antiquities, this modernist home located in north Scottsdale’s Estancia is the quintessential gallery home for the spectacular collection within. The primary roof form, “the wing” as the owner enjoys referring to it, opens the home vertically to a view of adjacent Pinnacle peak and changes the aperture to horizontal for the opposing view to the golf course. Deep overhangs and fenestration recesses give the home protection from the elements and provide supporting shade and shadow for what proves to be a desert sculpture. The restrained palette allows the architecture to express itself while permitting each object in the home to make its own place. The home, while certainly modern, expresses both elegance and warmth in its material selections including canterra stone, chopped sandstone, copper, and stucco.

Entryway - contemporary light wood floor entryway idea in San Diego with white walls and a dark wood front door

This Bozeman, Montana tiny house residence blends an innovative use of space with high-performance Glo aluminum doors and proper building orientation. Situated specifically, taking advantage of the sun to power the Solar panels located on the southern side of the house. Careful consideration given to the floor plan allows this home to maximize space and keep the small footprint.
Full light exterior doors provide multiple access points across this house. The full lite entry doors provide plenty of natural light to this minimalist home. A full lite entry door adorned with a sidelite provide natural light for the cozy entrance.
This home uses stairs to connect the living spaces and bedrooms. The living and dining areas have soaring ceiling heights thanks to the inventive use of a loft above the kitchen. The living room space is optimized with a well placed window seat and the dining area bench provides comfortable seating on one side of the table to maximize space. Modern design principles and sustainable building practices create a comfortable home with a small footprint on an urban lot. The one car garage complements this home and provides extra storage for the small footprint home.

In the dining room, we added a walnut bar with an antique gold toekick and antique gold hardware, along with an enclosed tall walnut cabinet for storage. The tall dining room cabinet also conceals a vertical steel structural beam, while providing valuable storage space. The original dining room cabinets had been whitewashed and they also featured many tiny drawers and damaged drawer glides that were no longer practical for storage. So, we removed them and built in new cabinets that look as if they have always been there. The new walnut bar features geometric wall tile that matches the kitchen backsplash. The walnut bar and dining cabinets breathe new life into the space and echo the tones of the wood walls and cabinets in the adjoining kitchen and living room. Finally, our design team finished the space with MCM furniture, art and accessories.

The Watermill House is a beautiful example of a classic Hamptons wood shingle style home. The design and renovation would maintain the character of the exterior while transforming the interiors to create an open and airy getaway for a busy and active family. The house comfortably sits within its one acre lot surrounded by tall hedges, old growth trees, and beautiful hydrangeas. The landscape influenced the design approach of the main floor interiors. Walls were removed and the kitchen was relocated to the front of the house to create an open plan for better flow and views to both the front and rear yards. The kitchen was designed to be both practical and beautiful. The u-shape design features modern appliances, white cabinetry and Corian countertops, and is anchored by a beautiful island with a knife-edge marble countertop. The island and the dining room table create a strong axis to the living room at the rear of the house. To further strengthen the connection to the outdoor decks and pool area of the rear yard, a full height sliding glass window system was installed. The clean lines and modern profiles of the window frames create unobstructed views and virtually remove the barrier between the interior and exterior spaces. The open plan allowed a new sitting area to be created between the dining room and stair. A screen, comprised of vertical fins, allows for a degree of openness, while creating enough separation to make the sitting area feel comfortable and nestled in its own area. The stair at the entry of the house was redesigned to match the new elegant and sophisticated spaces connected to it. New treads were installed to articulate and contrast the soft palette of finishes of the floors, walls, and ceilings. The new metal and glass handrail was intended to reduce visual noise and create subtle reflections of light.
