Located in the charming Sun Valley neighborhood of San Rafael, California, this newly built home was designed to be the perfect backdrop for a young family’s busy lifestyle. 

In close collaboration with the homeowners and the contractor, we crafted a design that embodies a fresh California style with just a touch of the unexpected. The open-concept floor plan was thoughtfully designed to support both easy everyday living and frequent family gatherings, balancing functionality with warmth. 

We kept the material palette simple and cohesive, repeating finishes throughout the home. This thoughtful approach not only enhances the peaceful atmosphere but also lends an expansive feel to the home, making it feel larger than its footprint. 

The spaces are stylish yet approachable - well-suited to grow and evolve with the family for years to come.
