This magnificent 220 sqm apartment from the early 20th century was refurbished by Faranak Backer. The purpose was to modernize, but also to highlight the historic elements of the interior with beautiful wall ornaments and stucco features. The project took one and a half year to complete and is a result of deep historic research and a careful selection of colors, artifacts, and unique art objects as the statue “Snö klocka” by Per Hasselberg from 1881.

Studio Apartment. This newly remodeled family home and in law unit in San Anselmo is 4000sf of light and space. The first designer was let go for presenting grey one too many times. My task was to skillfully blend all the color my clients wanted from their mix of Latin, Hispanic and Italian heritage and get it to read successfully. Wow, no easy feat. Clients alway teach us so much. I learned that much more color could work than I ever thought possible.

A baby was on the way and time was of the essence when the clients, a young family, approached us to re-imagine the interior of their three storey Victorian townhouse. Within a full redecoration, we focussed the budget on the key spaces of the kitchen, family bathroom and master bedroom (sleep is precious, after all) with entertaining and relaxed family living in mind. The new interventions are designed to work in harmony with the building’s period features and the clients’ collections of objects, furniture and artworks. A palette of warm whites, punctuated with whitewashed timber and the occasional pastel hue makes a calming backdrop to family life.

Small Shower Room was tranformed with a modern vanity unit from Dansani, illuminated mirror and a shower enclosure
