Canyon Design Build

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Nothing better than a happy client.

Full Review: "We have worked extensively with the Canyon Design Build team for over a year and 100% trust leaving our home in their capable hands. Our Oakland hillside home with difficult access and parking challenges was built in the 80s, and we deferred some deep structural problems for too long. They were not daunted! They did exterior work, including new cement fiber siding(fire resistant with wood look), window and replacement, rebuilt 2 cantilevered balconies, new modern fencing around our rooftop driveway. Also a lot of beautifully designed interior work, we gutted the bedroom level, put in the most gorgeous and fun double shower ever, with heated floors, lighted mirrors and medicine cabinets, art niche, AC mini split hidden in the ceiling of the primary suite, hanging pendant lamps, upholstered headboard, and so much more! Honestly it feels like a high end hotel now. I loved the collaborative process with them. All the inspections went smoothly. They really stand behind their work, too, very responsive when we had a roof leak that was not related to anything they touched, but immediately had it fixed. These guys are the best and we can’t wait to work with them again! The whole team and their extensive network of local sub-specialists are amazingly talented, personable and respectful."

In this Orinda whole-home renovation, the kitchen island brings function and artistry together. Open shelving keeps everyday essentials within reach, while the seating extension, supported by a solid wood post with an integrated footrest, creates a refined focal point in the Southwest-inspired home.

From sunrise to sunset, this is where you want to be.
Perched in the Berkeley Hills, this open-air deck was made for gorgeous days. As part of a full home renovation, it creates a seamless flow from indoors to out, with warm wood underfoot and views that carry you from morning coffee to long evenings outside.

This ADU shows just how much range a secondary structure can have. It functions as a guest space, office, and private gym, all within 1,200 square feet. Set into an oak-covered hillside, the design takes full advantage of the view, with expansive glass and sliding doors that open directly to the deck. The industrial aesthetic is softened by the natural surroundings, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience.

In this Danville whole home renovation, the custom wine cave and bar was approached with a high level of intention. From the pewter bar and wrought-iron foot rail to the built-in glass display and imported French hardware, each material was chosen to shape the experience of the space and brought to life through careful ex*****on.

Texture is back. (Did it ever leave?)

We’re loving how texture is showing up across every space right now. Floor-to-ceiling tile that adds quiet depth, wallpaper that brings warmth and pattern into formal rooms, classic materials like subway tile explored in richer tones, and thoughtful details that feel both timeless and fresh. We especially love when texture shows up in unexpected places, like a metal ceiling or a stair detail, moments that quietly elevate the entire space.

A full home transformation designed to feel timeless from the moment you walk in. Inspired by classic French design, this statement kitchen balances elegance with everyday function, with custom cabinetry, a statement island, and layered architectural details that carry throughout the home. Beyond the kitchen remodel, key living spaces including the primary suite, guest bathroom, and living areas were thoughtfully updated to create a cohesive, refined feel across the entire home.

We love when a client fully commits to a vision. We carried this client’s Swiss Alpine inspiration through every detail of the full-property renovation, from custom woodwork to detailed interiors and a fully upgraded guest cottage. The result was transportive, warm, and completely unique. Not every project calls for a strong theme, but when it does and it’s done right, it creates something you can’t replicate.

ADUs can become anything from a modern architectural statement to a seamless extension of an existing home.

From a glass ADU tucked into the Saratoga hills to a Swiss chalet-style guest cottage in Orinda, a stylistic extension of an existing home for a parent aging in place, or our Lafayette pool house currently taking shape, these projects show just how adaptable ADUs can be.
