Olive Valley House
“Working with Sam was one of the best decisions we made for our project. He’s the rare designer who balances creativity with genuine care. He listened closely to what we wanted, then brought thoughtful suggestions that made the final result even better than we imagined. He also helped us find and communicate with contractors, which saved us so much stress as it was our first renovation. Sam is kind, patient, and truly invested in his clients’ happiness while also being so gifted creatively. We’re grateful for his work and would recommend him without hesitation.”
Weekend Home & Pool House ADU
Nestled in a small valley 90 minutes north of San Francisco sits this secluded property. Our clients wanted a space that not only was comfortable to retreat to, but could also be used for entertaining friends and family. We took inspiration from the surrounding natural landscape around the site to drive the spa-like aesthetic.
The existing home was completely remodeled and a new foyer/ bedroom wing added to better accommodate guests. A new pool house ADU adds additional capacity and delivers relaxed poolside vibes. We sourced original artworks and created bespoke ceramics in-house to help tie it all together, it’s that imperfect nature of natural and human-made objects that strengthens our connection to the spaces we live in.
