Finding a home is not easy in a seller’s market, but when my clients discovered one—even though it needed a bit of work—in a beautiful area of the Santa Cruz Mountains, they decided to jump in. Surrounded by old-growth redwood trees and a sense of old-time history, the house’s location informed the design brief for their desired remodel work. Yet I needed to balance this with my client’s preference for clean-lined, modern style. Suffering from a previous remodel, the galley-like bathroom in the master suite was long and dank. My clients were willing to completely redesign the layout of the suite, so the bathroom became the walk-in closet. We borrowed space from the bedroom to create a new, larger master bathroom which now includes a separate tub and shower. The look of the room nods to nature with organic elements like a pebbled shower floor and vertical accent tiles of honed green slate. A custom vanity of blue weathered wood and a ceiling that recalls the look of pressed tin evoke a time long ago when people settled this mountain region. At the same time, the hardware in the room looks to the future with sleek, modular shapes in a chic matte black finish. Harmonious, serene, with personality: just what my clients wanted.

Photo by Alan Tansey This East Village penthouse was designed for nocturnal entertaining. Reclaimed wood lines the walls and counters of the kitchen and dark tones accent the different spaces of the apartment. Brick walls were exposed and the stair was stripped to its raw steel finish. The guest bath shower is lined with textured slate while the floor is clad in striped Moroccan tile.

Zwei echte Naturmaterialien = ein Bad! Zirbelkiefer und Schiefer sagen HALLO! Ein Bad bestehend aus lediglich zwei Materialien, dies wurde hier in einem neuen Raumkonzept konsequent umgesetzt. Überall wo ihr Auge hinblickt sehen sie diese zwei Materialien. KONSEQUENT! Es beginnt mit der Tür in das WC in Zirbelkiefer, der Boden in Schiefer, die Decke in Zirbelkiefer mit umlaufender LED-Beleuchtung, die Wände in Kombination Zirbelkiefer und Schiefer, das Fenster und die schräge Nebentüre in Zirbelkiefer, der Waschtisch in Zirbelkiefer mit flächiger Schiebetüre übergehend in ein Korpus in Korpus verschachtelter Handtuchschrank in Zirbelkiefer, der Spiegelschrank in Zirbelkiefer. Die Rückseite der Waschtischwand ebenfalls Schiefer mit flächigem Wandspiegel mit Zirbelkiefer-Ablage und integrierter Bildhängeschiene. Ein besonderer EYE-Catcher ist das Naturwaschbecken aus einem echten Flussstein! Überall tatsächlich pure Natur, so richtig zum Wohlfühlen und entspannen – dafür sorgt auch schon allein der natürliche Geruch der naturbelassenen Zirbelkiefer / Zirbenholz. Sie öffnen die Badezimmertüre und tauchen in IHRE eigene WOHLFÜHL-OASE ein…

The Craftsman started with moving the existing historic log cabin located on the property and turning it into the detached garage. The main house spares no detail. This home focuses on craftsmanship as well as sustainability. Again we combined passive orientation with super insulation, PV Solar, high efficiency heat and the reduction of construction waste.
