Inspiration for a mid-sized contemporary living room remodel in San Francisco
Inspiration for a mid-sized contemporary living room remodel in San Francisco

Built in 1907 and nestled into the beating heart of San Fran’s Bernal Heights neighbourhood, this adorable abode was an unpolished gem ready to be turned into our clients’ dream home.
Our mission was to gift Bonview with classic, natural and timeless style while setting it up with impressive functionality so that it was ready to be the pet-friendly, kid-friendly and entertaining-friendly home they needed it to be. Mission accepted!
Our clients’ vision was clear: They wanted whites, blacks and wood tones with texture and personality. Oh, and that spunky wine fridge? Yep, that was a non-negotiable. ?
“It’s not unusual for our friends and family to drop past unannounced any day of the week. And we love it!” They told us during our initial Design Therapy Sesh.
We knew immediately what she meant - we have an open-door policy with our families, too! Which was why we consciously created living spaces that were open, inviting and welcoming.
Now, the only problem our clients would have would be convincing their guests to leave!
Our clients also enjoyed cooking and baking casually, so we created an organized, intuitive and functional kitchen and pantry that made whipping up homemade dips and snacks for their game nights a breeze.

The city council lifted its longtime residential ban on artificial turf. City growth development managers say the benefits to the environment were the biggest factors in the policy change. Many homeowners resisted the change because of the aesthetic concerns.
Mike Onushko already has synthetic turf in his backyard. “It’s something unique,” said Onushko. “It’s something different, and the nice thing about it is the fact you’ll never have to mow it, fertilize it or water it.”

This passive solar cottage included energy efficiency and sustainability strategies across all divisions of construction, from the LEED concrete mixes to the custom designed bio-mass wood boiler hydronic heating system. The clients – a forestry consultant and an energy policy advocate – drove the design and construction of the project to be an extremely unique and functional building. Fundamentals of passive solar design and sun-tempering were the basis around which the major project parameters were established. The active space conditioning and domestic hot water is provided by a visible-flame architectural wood boiler, backed up by a bio-diesel boiler. Other features include decorative polished concrete slab floors; locally-sourced hybrid timber frame components; custom sawn northern white cedar beveled siding; oak stair treads sourced from the property; heart pine flooring for Fall River mill timbers; super-insulated assemblies with cellulose and insulated sheathing; and reclaimed, restored lighting and plumbing fixtures.

For this young family, their existing space wasn’t working for their lifestyle. Besides the aesthetics, they felt the kitchen wasn’t living up to its full potential. A list of their wants/needs included an open, sleek design that allowed their three children to eat at the island and have a place at a nearby desk to complete homework or watch television while dinner was being prepared.
With the family’s main traffic area leading directly from the garage into the kitchen, it was critical to consider a place for the kids to place their schoolwork, sports equipment, art supplies and even bring in groceries. With all of that in mind, we added lockers for each child right at the garage entry, with the idea that the cabinets could be transitioned into additional pantry storage as the family matures.
With the new open space, we were able to update the room using dark and light grays, on the cabinetry and walls. Combining the elegance of traditional design with the fresh and refined look of contemporary style trends, we mixed natural wood and stone and dark oak flooring with the contemporary look of paneled cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, sleek hardware, and a glass and marble tile backsplash.
By mixing these materials the home’s traditional heritage is kept intact, but the young tech savvy family now has a fantastic space where they can gather for family meals and entertainment.

While we were working on a concurrent affordable housing project in Belmont, the Town asked us to help with the design of this Habitat for Humanity house that was drawing a lot of controversy. Zoning at this property was such that Habitat had to build a single family house, yet they had limitations as to how big of a unit they could build based on their policies. Our challenge was to design a house that the neighbors would accept, that seemed bigger than it was and that would be a useful space for the occupants. We took our design cues from the nearby houses, and increased the bulk by adding a front porch. This porch also helps to mask the fact that the building is slab on grade, which is not typical of the neighborhood (first floor elevations are typically 2" to 3' above grade).

The original plywood doors were "OK" but I wanted something with "stopping power". I was inspired by the university's policy of including art in building projects - so I used that as the driving force for my creative effort. They had to be potently artful but not garnish. I also wanted them to be dynamic rather than static - this glass (irridized fibroid on black cathdral) fit the bill. I looked at many different kinds of glass - the glass also needed to have individuality in each sheet but speak the same language. Kind=f of like looking at a family of individual brothers and sisters and yet you could tell they were from the same family.
Depending on the angle of viewing, and the light source, the doors look dramatically different - I particularity like walking past them and seeing them change as I walk past.
Functionally the pantries are only about 6" deep on the left side and 10" deep on the right. The pantries are organized in categories roughly. The first set of 10" deep cabinets also open to the kitchen - they hold all the baking supplies. The arch is part of an axis from the front to the back of the house.

Located on prestigious Strait Lane in Dallas, Texas, this regional contemporary residence nestles and wraps its roots throughout the mature oak trees, appearing as if it has been merged to this site for quite some time in this beautiful, unpredictable park-like setting.

Simple kitchen gets a sprinkle of glamour. We like to think of this simple kitchen remodel as an elevated white shaker kitchen. We incorporated old and new into this space. The plan was to keep the existing appliances and then due to the age of the existing appliance which were failing in the old kitchen, we upgraded with a wolf flush induction cooktop, a cove dishwasher that we paneled and subzero columns. The finishing touch was the elegant chandelier and island in quartzite. The result is a kitchen that is loved by the family and by us! .
