Maui Retreat
6,600 sq. ft.
Haiku, Maui
2021
This 4 bed, 3 bath contemporary home was designed to feature spectacular views, inside and out. Early intentions were set to design for both North and South views: to the North are the property’s horse pasture, orchards, and ocean-view beyond while the South presents a distant peak-view of Maui’s Haleakala volcano.
Fairfax Cottage
1,841 sq. ft.
Fairfax, CA
2024
This 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom cottage-style family home is nestled on a cozy upslope lot in the hills of Marin County. While maximizing its allowable area, the design staggers levels and massing to maintain an articulated design in keeping with its mixed density neighborhood while terracing naturally with the existing slope.
Carlsbad Residence
4,200 sq. ft.
Carlsbad, CA
2024
A raised contemporary home, both perched and nestled. Simple massing was designed to embrace the downhill siting of this home. A raised main-floor offers crows-nest views of the distant ocean to the West while the lower level remains passively shaded and directly connected to the pool level for family play and entertaining.
Urban Garden House
3,350 sq. ft.
Menlo Park, CA
2021
The design of this urban corner lot sought to redefine suburban living with a sustainable approach to construction, landscape and community. Program included an overhaul of the existing property, introducing a shared vegetable garden at the most public corner of the lot. Multiple front porches hugged the corner profile of the home, offering shaded spaces and opportunities to socialize with neighbours throughout the day. The home itself drew inspiration to the simplicity of Scandinavian detailing and massing while remaining highly attuned to passive and net-zero priorities.
Hillside Home
8,800 sq. ft.
Portola Valley, CA
2024
Situated on a bluff with 360 degree views of the Jasper Ridge wildlife preserve, the Hillside Home takes advantage of views and passive solar orientations through its angled plan. The design has been optimized to preserve every tree on the wooded lot while also framing the unique views afforded by distinct features of the surrounding landscape. The most novel of building technologies have been employed to render this home net-zero-ready home and wildfire-hardened.
