Our designer has achieved a stylish look by combining dark cabinets and light-colored marbles.

Here is the pivoting unit in open position. Since houzz does not have video yet, you can go to my Facebook page and watch it there. The pivoting hardware was custom made for us by a machine shop that are specialists in marine and aeronautical work. It is made up of a bottom and top bearing system with steel extension supports and 3/4" thick stainless steel pins. The bookshelf is 300lbs, but can be swiveled by a 5 year old child with no effort. There are rubber wives casters that add extra support on the end, but they are barely touching the hardwood flooring. Client is extremely happy. I had several sleepless nights wondering if this would work..

A family of avid hikers, surfers, and all-around outdoor enthusiasts asked us to create a rooftop family gathering space that better connected their lives to the natural wonders of the Golden Gate. Built smack dab in the middle of (and above) an existing three-story house, our biggest challenges were (in order of sleepless nights), waterproofing, concealing steel beams and columns, and detailing quality and sustainable materials that will withstand exposure to the rugged coastal elements. It was a great pleasure to work with clients who appreciate how the built environment can complement the natural. It is our hope that the design celebrates this connection for years to come.

Set in Montana's tranquil Shields River Valley, the Shilo Ranch Compound is a collection of structures that were specifically built on a relatively smaller scale, to maximize efficiency. The main house has two bedrooms, a living area, dining and kitchen, bath and adjacent greenhouse, while two guest homes within the compound can sleep a total of 12 friends and family. There's also a common gathering hall, for dinners, games, and time together. The overall feel here is of sophisticated simplicity, with plaster walls, concrete and wood floors, and weathered boards for exteriors. The placement of each building was considered closely when envisioning how people would move through the property, based on anticipated needs and interests. Sustainability and consumption was also taken into consideration, as evidenced by the photovoltaic panels on roof of the garage, and the capability to shut down any of the compound's buildings when not in use.
