This 2017 Project begins with a wonderful Palo Alto family of four wanted to get more use of their backyard. Their existing backyard had served its purpose for many years when their children were young. Now their children in college, it was underused and in desperate need of an update.
Having lived in their home for 19 years, my clients communicated clearly with goals to take advantage of the reason they moved to Palo Alto in the first place. Both desire spending more time for themselves enjoying our year round climate in Northern California. By initially addressing the specific request to decrease the water usage and the accompanying utility bills, objective for addition of a fire pit to the existing spa destination; both sharing their spaces for also a new destination of the turf for the husband, and avid golfer. John had always wanted to practice in his own backyard. Viola! The perfect place to entertain, dine, relax and play!

The views from this vacation property really speak for themselves, and so it stands to reason that this client wanted to keep the million-dollar views in-tact. To do so, the entire living space is perched above the garage, somewhat like a grown-up tree house, where scenic glaciers, mountains, and farmland are not obstructed by the home's structure. In fact, the kitchen features oversized windows across the back of the counters, with cabinets only placed down below and on the interior wall to maximize on this view. A vacation home is also the perfect place to add in a little playfulness (as if the idea of a treehouse isn’t fun enough), and the Cameron’s enjoyed collaborating with the owners on the funky bathroom tile design and fixtures. These avid skiers desired a second home that was not only close to the slopes but offered the perfect après ski environment. They also wanted the property to feel just as inviting during the summer months when the only skiing takes place on the water.

We love moody tones for how bold they are. Dark paint can make a big impact in large and even small spaces. This style allows us to play with color, balance lights and darks, and it’s a break from all of the white that we’ve been seeing for some time now.

This duplex has a very modern aesthetic with focuses on clean lines and metal accents. However, the front courtyard was undeveloped and uninviting. We worked with the client to tie the courtyard and the property together by adding clean, monochromatic details with a heavy focus on texture.
The main goal of this project was to add a low-maintenance outdoor living space that was an extension of the home. The small space and harsh sun exposure limited the plant pallet, but we were able to use lush plant material to maximize the space. A monochromatic pallet makes for a perfect backdrop for focal points and key pieces. The circular fire-pit was used to break up the 90 degree angles of the space, and also played off the round pottery.

Objective: The clients childhood memories of a home previously stayed in as a young girl played a vital
role in the decision to totally transform a part of history into a modern retreat for this couple.
Solution: Demo of every room began. One brick wall and center support wall stayed while everything
else was demolished. We rearranged each room to create the perfect home for the soon to
be retired couple. The clients love being outside which is the reasoning for all of large window and
sliding doors which lead to the pool and manicured grounds.
A new master suite was created, new guest room with ensuite bath, laundry room, small family
room, oversized living room, dining room, kitchen, dish pantry, and powder bath were all totally
reimagined to give this family everything they wanted. Furnishings brought from the previous home,
revived heirlooms, and new pieces all combined to create this modern, yet warm inviting home.
In the powder bath a classic pedestal sink, marble mosaic floors, and simple baseboards were the
perfect pairing for this dramatic wallpaper. After construction, a vintage art piece was revived from
storage to become the perfect juxtaposed piece to complete the powder bath.
The kitchen is a chef’s dream with clean lined cabinets, white quartz countertops and plenty of seating
for casual eating.

We designed a small space in the lower garden for the clients to enjoy the view.

Home's may have particularly wonderful elements to serve the function of the household or merely to decorate the structure and sometimes it is both. In this dining room hutch we have an element which plays off the traditional corner cabinet. The universal appeal of this hutch with its' graceful arched doors and divided lites is noteworthy for several reasons: 1) the glass reflects light off the windows of the room, 2) it is recessed and encased in its own door case molding mimicking either passageway left and right, 3) it's design allows for display of beautiful dinnerware, and 4) because of its linear design is able to store much more than even a large corner cabinet. Found within the original portion of the residence, Jaeger & Ernst cabinetmakers were pleased to assist in the design and execution of this piece.

The owners of this beautiful historic farmhouse had been painstakingly restoring it bit by bit. One of the last items on their list was to create a wrap-around front porch to create a more distinct and obvious entrance to the front of their home.
Aside from the functional reasons for the new porch, our client also had very specific ideas for its design. She wanted to recreate her grandmother’s porch so that she could carry on the same wonderful traditions with her own grandchildren someday.
Key requirements for this front porch remodel included:
- Creating a seamless connection to the main house.
- A floorplan with areas for dining, reading, having coffee and playing games.
- Respecting and maintaining the historic details of the home and making sure the addition felt authentic.
Upon entering, you will notice the authentic real pine porch decking.
Real windows were used instead of three season porch windows which also have molding around them to match the existing home’s windows.
The left wing of the porch includes a dining area and a game and craft space.
Ceiling fans provide light and additional comfort in the summer months. Iron wall sconces supply additional lighting throughout.
Exposed rafters with hidden fasteners were used in the ceiling.
Handmade shiplap graces the walls.
On the left side of the front porch, a reading area enjoys plenty of natural light from the windows.
The new porch blends perfectly with the existing home much nicer front facade. There is a clear front entrance to the home, where previously guests weren’t sure where to enter.
We successfully created a place for the client to enjoy with her future grandchildren that’s filled with nostalgic nods to the memories she made with her own grandmother.
"We have had many people who asked us what changed on the house but did not know what we did. When we told them we put the porch on, all of them made the statement that they did not notice it was a new addition and fit into the house perfectly.”

LOFT | Luxury Loft Transformation | FOUR POINT DESIGN BUILD INC
This ultra feminine luxury loft was designed for an up-and-coming fashion/travel writer. With 30' soaring ceiling heights, five levels, winding paths of travel and tight stairways, no storage at all, very little usable wall space, a tight timeline, and a very modest budget, we had our work cut out for us. Thrilled to report, the client loves it, and we completed the project on time and on budget.
