On a narrow Palo Alto infill lot, this project replaces an aging cottage with a thoughtfully designed two-story multi-unit development, adding much-needed housing to a highly sought-after neighborhood. Designed to maximize both privacy and livability, each residence includes private outdoor space and efficient floor plans. The development features three 3-bedroom / 3.5-bath homes plus a detached 1-bedroom, 1-bath ADU, demonstrating how thoughtful architecture can transform a constrained site into a beautiful and functional community.

The best design solutions balance beauty and practicality. Shower niches are one of those details that, when carefully considered, enhance both the experience and aesthetics of the bathroom while feeling completely integrated into the architecture.

We left in Palm Springs feeling inspired by the architecture and design of the Desert Modernism movement. From iconic commercial buildings, particularly the beautifully detailed mid-century banks, to private residences, the retreat offered an incredible look at how proportion, materiality, landscape, and light come together to create enduring architecture. :)

The transformation of this atrium continues! What was once an underused space has been reconfigured as a vibrant gathering place, surrounded by open-air walkways and terraces that bring new life and connection to the heart of the building. A warm, refined palette of sustainable and energy-efficient materials adds depth and character, giving the atrium a renewed sense of identity and purpose. Swipe to see the before.

This welcoming entryway, with its magical wallpapered ceiling, is the heart of circulation in this beautifully renovated Craftsman-style home. From here, you catch a glimpse into the dining room, where one of our favorite details where the new Elmcote wallpaper from Morris & Co. compliments the original woodwork. A playful touch that adds character, charm, and a little unexpected delight from the moment you walk in.
