This kitchen got a total re-design. A wall was removed that separated the dining and kitchen, and a lovely open plan kitchen was born. No more cramped cooking and dysfunctional storage. This update got all of the upgrades – roll-outs, trash, drawer dividers, pantry unit, message center and more! The look is a warm, luxurious, earthy space, filled with natural textures and soft finishes. This family is over-the-moon with excitement for their new space.

This kitchen on 25th Street showcases the kind of considered craftsmanship that defines a true design-build remodel. Soft, warm-white shaker cabinetry rises floor to ceiling, finished with brushed brass hardware that adds a quiet sense of refinement against the muted palette. A professional-grade range with a pot filler mounted above and a sleek paneled hood anchors the cook space, while the oversized stainless refrigerator brings a clean, functional edge to the room's everyday flow. Wide-plank wood flooring grounds the space in natural warmth, balancing the cool stone countertops and bright, airy light that fills the room. The result is a kitchen that feels both elevated and livable — a space built for real life in a Bay Area home.

Georgia Park Heights Custom Home is a “West Coast Modern” style home that was built in Crofton, BC. This house overlooks the quaint Cowichan Valley town and includes a gorgeous view of the ocean and neighbouring Salt Spring Island. This custom home is 2378 square feet, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom and ensuite of this home are located in the walk-out basement, leaving the main floor for an open-concept kitchen, living area and dining area. The most noteworthy feature of this Crofton custom home is the abundance of light. Firstly, the home is filled with many windows, and includes skylights, and sliding glass doors to bring in natural light. Further, upper and under cabinet lighting was installed in the custom kitchen, in addition to pot lights and pendant lights. The result is a bright, airy custom home that is perfect for this Crofton location. Additional design elements such as wood floors and a wooden breakfast bar complete the “West Coast” style of this Georgia Park Heights Custom Home.

The owner of this small shady garden in the heart of Noe Valley wanted an elegant outdoor room with enough warmth to ward off the cold of San Francisco’s summer nights. She also wanted her small upper deck to feel more connected to the lower deck. The design included replacing the two redwood decks and stairs with Brazilian Walnut and the addition of new railings. We added a unique water feature that could be seen from various vantage points, and a simple concrete fire pit large enough to be used as a coffee table. A heated concrete bench made the small upper deck off of the kitchen more inviting and usable. We replaced a tall wooden plinth at one end of the upper deck with a long clay pot filled with succulents, connecting the two decks. The all weather cushioned couch and chaise lounge on the lower deck are back lit by elegant sconce lights. New shade tolerant plants such as Fuchsia Thymifolia, Hellebores, Loropetalum and a Box Honeysuckle add to the year round blooms of this small, elegant garden.
