Perched on a hilltop high in the Myacama mountains is a vineyard property that exists off-the-grid. This peaceful parcel is home to Cornell Vineyards, a winery known for robust cabernets and a casual ‘back to the land’ sensibility. We were tasked with designing a simple refresh of two existing buildings that dually function as a weekend house for the proprietor’s family and a platform to entertain winery guests. We had fun incorporating our client’s Asian art and antiques that are highlighted in both living areas. Paired with a mix of neutral textures and tones we set out to create a casual California style reflective of its surrounding landscape and the winery brand.

The 48-inch Wolf Stainless Steel appliances provide plenty of cooking and ventilation power. The pot filler faucet on the rear wall makes filling the kettles and pots a simple task.

This four-story Victorian revival was amazing to see unfold; from replacing the foundation, building out the 1st floor, hoisting structural steel into place, and upgrading to in-floor radiant heat. This gorgeous “Old Lady” got all the bells and whistles.
This quintessential Victorian presented itself with all the complications imaginable when bringing an early 1900’s home back to life. Our favorite task? The Custom woodwork: hand carving and installing over 200 florets to match historical home details. Anyone would be hard-pressed to see the transitions from existing to new, but we invite you to come and try for yourselves!

We were tasked with transforming a modest ranch home into a house full of personality that reflected the owner's Asian roots and Hawaiian upbringing.

A vintage teak desk is the focal point in this home office. It was re-incarnated from a credenza - the centre portion, countertop and front legs were removed; it was painted white except the drawers; new stainless steel drawer pulls and new laminate countertop were installed. Accents include: black and white wallpaper, hide rug, Aeron task chair, teak vintage furniture.

The clients requested a kitchen that was simple, flush and had that built-in feel. This kitchen achieves that and so much more with the fabulously multi-tasking island, and the fun red splash back.

We were tasked with transforming a modest ranch home into a house full of personality that reflected the owner's Asian roots and Hawaiian upbringing.

Quintessentially Mid-Century, the kitchen sports cozy quarters. "Matthew and I laugh about this," jokes Bobbie. "We always said our next house would have a big gourmet kitchen and a big bathtub, [and] we have neither!" While the Fisher's might appreciate a little more wiggle room, they are in no hurry to make any drastic changes. The cabinetry is original. "When we first moved in, we thought we would definitely need to replace the two burner cook top with a four-burner, but we haven’t," she states. "The kitchen is surprisingly efficient."
