A childhood home reimagined for the next generation

In redesigning a nostalgic space to accommodate the next generation, we wanted to provide a backdrop for a life filled with surfing and art making in our interior design touches for this Bay Area home.

The interior design and interior architecture of this beach house were re-envisioned from a dated row house to open up the space. It was reconstructed to include a new kitchen, additional bathrooms, bedrooms, and living spaces. Custom woodworking was designed and installed throughout and paired with iconic mid-century furniture and contemporary artwork. All finishes and textiles were selected with a crisp, natural palette to reflect a colorful family life.
