Built to stay

Set among the trees with views of the Pacific and the Golden Gate, this inherited 1960s ranch came with real constraints. Steep grades, long stair runs, and aging systems required a full structural rethink. The 2,500-square-foot remodel reorganizes circulation, integrates discreet lifts, and embeds universal design within a restrained, Japanese-influenced framework built for aging in place.

Modern kitchen with wooden ceiling and white cabinets, large window with greenery, kitchen island with cookbook, and adjacent dining area with a decorative wall art.

Rift-sawn white oak runs seamlessly from ceiling to cabinetry. The sloped ceiling left no room for error. Every skylight, hood, and panel had to land just right. Porcelain backsplash, remote uppers, and a pot rack built for a cook with the garden just outside.

THE VISTA HOUSE IN PORTOLA VALLEY

Designed for a family with four young boys, this 4500 sqft Portola Valley home unfolds in a series of calm, expansive volumes that draw the landscape inward. A cadence of vaulted ceilings and floor-height glazing creates intimate vignettes of the valley, balanced by the grounded presence of poured-in-place concrete and crisp lines. The transformation extends outdoors, where a new pool, pool house, and layered plantings knit the home more closely to its site.

THE 10-foot descent in bernal heights

A full rebuild transformed this 1200-square-foot row house into a three-story home anchored by a new sub-grade garage and extended footprint. The interior was completely re-planned, allowing every room to shift into a more intentional relationship with light and landscape. Steel bi-fold doors, a rooftop hot tub connected to the master suite, and a rope floor in the kid’s room create moments where structure, craft, and play intersect.
