Arthur, Belmont
3 Bed / 2 bath Main House + ADU with 1 Bed / 1 Bath
This property was dilapidated, with a sunken & rotted entry stairway which was structurally engineered and rebuilt. Closed off main living space was redesigned to have an open floor plan. The Master bedroom and bathroom were designed to feel like a suite nestled in the rainforest. ADU conversion was originally an unused basement that needed some love. Current owners now rent out the ADU as a means to pay for a portion of the mortgage.
Gas-burning modern glass fireplace, heavy oak entry door, rescued oak mantle from the original structure, and picture frame windows throughout.
Oak Ct, Palo Alto
4 Bed / 6 Bath + ADU
The epitome of Silicon Valley Oasis. Original structure was torn down to studs and went through a gut remodel for this brand new home to take place. Minimalism was the core foundation of the preliminary design with 18-foot ceilings and an indoor-outdoor living concept to bring in natural light. Master bathroom was design with a spa in-mind and the kitchen was made with the sliding bar window as the focal point.
A three-sided fireplace, natural light, indoor-outdoor living, and high-end appliances/fixtures all add to the modern masterpiece of this home.
McDole, Saratoga
5 Bed / 5 Bath
Owners wanted as much of the old structure to remain, and that’s what we did. Taking a recently purchased home in the Saratoga, Quito Village neighborhood and bringing it back to the 21st century. This home underwent a 1200 sqft addition to include an open living space with massive skylights in the main living area with a dine-in kitchen and Miele Appliances. A secluded owner’s suite, second-floor living area for the kids, and a wine cellar bar as the focal point as you enter the home are a few of the main elements of this property.
The expansive backyard, modern glass fireplace encased in black/gold marble slabs, walk-in spa-like shower, and a gazebo to call home.
Hemlock, San Carlos
4 Bed / 3 Bath + ADU
A hilltop home in the middle of San Carlos built in 1953 was recently purchased and needed a massive makeover. New drainage, grading, and removal of a pool all needed to happen to make this home the current owners’ dream. Owners selected Swedish-style cabinetry and appliances to install in their brand-new kitchen overlooking the gas, glass fireplace in their living room. The Master Bath was designed to make the transition between tub and shower as seamless as possible. ADU was built on the bottom floor to have as future passive income for current owners.
All design elements were hand-picked by owners and their vision was encompassed by everyone on the construction team during the build of the project.
Carlisle, San Mateo
3 Bed / 3 Bath + ADU
New owners of this home wanted a much-needed modern update of their living space. This included turning the garage into a 1 bedroom / 1 bath ADU and building a separate office detached from the home in the backyard for meetings to take place without the kids making a fuss. Although modern, this home contains lots of natural elements that can be seen in the bathrooms, flooring, and doors. Owners loved their Saturday morning breakfast with the kids so a massive dine-in kitchen was built to provide that comfort.
Large picture-frame windows throughout, Samsung appliances, and an ADU for the oldest son are all what made this home a one-of-a-kind, custom, home for the owners.
