An organic warm natural modern update for a primary bath that used to be dark and dingy. This new spa inspired bright open primary bathroom now functions better and helps to reduce stress and restore the homeowners after a long day. The materials used were green glass subway tiles, marble looking porcelain tiles, engineered quartz countertop, hand blown glass chandelier, and a custom designed floating walnut vanity.

we reduced the size of the mech room and added a closet partition with a sliding door to give our clients more storage space. We added a custom built in closet system after the project was completed (will upload photo of the built-in later).

Hawkeye Landscape Design
We began this project with the idea of making a friendly entryway and social area under the Mulberry tree which provides much needed shade in this hot, mountainous area. The 'red fescue' meadow grass has a cooling effect and the agaves reduce the need for excess water and maintenance.
The backyard has a covered dining area with a corner lounge and fireplace. The large barbecue offers a cantilevered counter for entertaining. The waterfall into the pool is surrounded with bamboo and plantings that emulate the hillside beyond the property. The permeable paving and mix of Vitex and Olive trees provide shade for smaller seating areas to enjoy the variety of succulents throughout the garden

A former award winning Green Roof in Marin County was in need of an overhaul. The soil media, irrigation system and planting suffered from poor execution and maintenance. Owners wanted a revised plant palette that required less water and more color throughout the year. After giving the roof a serious haircut, additional soil was added, irrigation distribution was adjusted and watering schedule was severely cut back to help reduce an unwanted plant species. Plugs of native perennials, wildflowers and a variety of succulents were planted to provide year round interest with a succession of interesting flowers, foliage shapes, colors and plant heights.

regroup architecture remodeled the space after reducing the old office to its bare shell. The basic design idea uses the central core provided by the kitchen and bathroom to separate the space into different zones. There is a more private zone behind the core for the bed, a living zone with a TV and sofa, and an in-between space for a multipurpose bar-height desk. This basic zoning could potentially also work for other functions like an artist atelier, yoga studio, exhibition space, or even for a small office once again.

The bi-fold door and window combination in the master bedroom offers stunning ocean views and an abundance of natural light. AG Millworks Bi-fold doors also provide excellent insulation, reducing weather and sound disruptions.

After decades of drastic alterations, and demolition of the second and third story, this grand estate was reduced to a pink Bermuda style ranch house. The current owners returned it to a suggestion of its original state. Beamed ceilings, working fireplace, period woodwork and historic finishes draw out the dignity of its past, and make them part of life in his century. The main house overlooks terraced yards, stonewalls and a landscaped pool area. The formal interiors frame sweeping views of treetops and seascapes.

This newly renovated Teen Lounge is the perfect spot for your teenage and adult children to hang out with their friends and call their own! Completed in Bloomfield Hills, MI in October 2021, our client wanted a room that would provide a spot their children would want to come home to after school or visit with friends after hours. It also needed to pass the test of time. To achieve this, we installed prefinished hardwood flooring, a large sectional and two lounge chairs for an abundance of seating options for guests and/or gaming. The finishes and color scheme are mature, easily maintained and timeless.

New open dining and kitchen with stairs from the downstairs entry and cool pantry hallway to powder room beyond. To reduce costs the kitchen was designed to fit the owner's existing appliances that they had just purchased. We always provide lots of operable windows for good cross ventilation on rare hot days in San Francisco. A new hallway becomes a pantry leading to a new powder room behind the refrigerator.

After moving into a mid-century ranch home on Spokane's South Hill, these homeowners gave the tired landscape a dramatic makeover. The aging asphalt driveway was replaced by precast concrete pavers that coordinate with a new walkway of sandwashed concrete pads. A pared-down front lawn reduces the overall water use of the landscape, while sculptural boulders add character. A small flagstone patio creates a spot to enjoy the outdoors in the courtyard-like area between the house and the towering ponderosa pines. The backyard received a similar update, with a new garden area, water feature, and paver patio anchoring the updated space.
