Our objective on this project was to update the style of the kitchen, while adding functionality and details for the homeowner’s beloved pets. The Solution: Incorporating sentimental pieces from the homeowner’s grandmother, this space was transformed into a stylish, relaxed place for entertaining and birding (one of her favorite pastimes). With warm wood floors and a grey and white color palette, the new kitchen features a built-in banquette and a pull-out drawer which functions as a dog bed. A large bay window was added to maximize the viewing area of the birds in her side yard. It’s also a favorite gathering place for guests when she entertains. She loves working in the kitchen now that the countertops were raised an inch to ease back strain.

Located in Bowden Rach, a desirable neighborhood near Downtown San Luis Obispo, The Smith residence represents a fusion of styles and a unique program. The clients came with the request for a modestly sized living space and an oversized garage/workshop big enough to house the activities for all of their hobbies. The clients’ pastimes include welding, furniture making, and working on cars and motorcycles. The design solution is a 2600 SF residence and 1200 SF garage. Architecturally, the contemporary saw tooth and butterfly rooflines paired with traditional detailing and materials provided the clients with the unique look they desired. On the exterior, the building is clad in smooth trowel stucco, corrugated metal and slate tile. On the interior, stained concrete floors, exposed structure and custom eucalyptus cabinetry and casework provide for a unique blend of industrial and warm traditional.

This project holds a special place in our hearts; the client’s kindness and appreciation towards every hand that took part in their project will always be looked back on fondly. We designed their new space to evoke a calm sense of renewal mirroring the restorative feeling they love from favourite pastimes: hiking + curling up with a good book. We are honoured that this project was also selected as an OHA 2026 Silver Award Winner.
