New Projects, Best of Sonoma County Awards & More

People standing around at a party, drinks in hand.

This year has been a real test of our metal as multiple projects have come to a close and new, larger projects have geared up in intensity. We’ve feel we’ve been producing our best work to date and we’ve had a lot of positive feedback to know we’re on track for an incredible third quarter. So far in 2026 we’ve attended many industry events and even held our first ‘project completion party’ since Covid, but really the biggest success has been our nomination for the Best of Sonoma County Awards (we’d love your vote!)


Project Completion Party

We decided it would be a good idea to throw a project completion party the day after a photoshoot while the home was still pristine. It was a herculean effort but the photoshoot went better than we could have hoped and then celebrating the occasion with our clients, vendors, contractors and friends was the icing on the cake.

This project was truly an opportunity for us to test our skills; a new-build pool house, whole home remodel, an addition, lighting, furniture, art and decor selection, plus bespoke ceramics we created for the spaces. It was a whole-hearted exploration in our client’s aesthetic, so getting to share that was a very personal experience.

We’re looking forward to sharing this project with everyone in the very near future, so stay tuned!

Upcoming Projects

The old adage “if you want something done, ask a busy person” has never been truer. This month we launched into our latest new-build project; a hillside home and ADU with incredible views over Shiloh & Windsor, treated to gracious sunrises and spectacular sunsets. We’ve spent a couple of days at the site (on which the clients lost their previous home in the 2017 fires) to learn what makes this property sing so we’re armed for the schematic design phase.
