Inspired by the serene and majestic California coastline, the design of this full-home renovation and addition incorporates natural materials and neutral tones. The home was designed to adapt to a growing family while remaining timeless in its sensibilities. Moving library walls and other operable openings provide flexibility and configurability. The design seeks to capitalize on the temperate weather by maximizing openings and continuing surfaces from inside out like a kitchen counter that extends out to the deck.

DESIGN ANTHOLOGY
COASTAL INSPIRATION
Inspired by the moody California coastline on a foggy day, this kitchen features a patinized bronze backsplash and custom hanging shelves against a palette of cork flooring, walnut casework with metal mesh infill, and matte black & satin bronze accents.
Designed to accommodate a growing family, entertaining, and easy accessibility to the outdoors, the home employs a series of large flexible doors, windows, and walls throughout.
