Eco-Renovations

Here are some examples of my work with eco-renovations. To see more, contact me.

Designed to embrace the natural world, the windows of this greenhouse bathroom captures a view of the San Francisco bay, and the skylight reflects the moon.

The vanity on the left is made from polished concrete, an increasingly popular material. Elegant, durable and relatively inexpensive, it can be molded to any shape.

The renovation of this 100 year-old home added a roof deck and master suite that fit right into the environment.

"Often as people walk by they compliment how beautiful the addition is and it is a pleasure to feel we have enhanced the neighborhood. It's an ongoing reward to live inside your art."

Removing walls and adding a central hall and stairway completely opened up this sunny Fairfax cottage. Corners on the kitchen addition were angled to preserve existing mature oak trees, and all the construction waste - broken concrete and excavated soil - was utilized for "urbanite" garden ramps and walls.

 

Faux columns were added internally to separate the living and dining areas in this extensive re-model, a technique often used in "small space" living design.

The columns have space-saving built-in bookcases as their base, and the dining room windows were enlarged to take advantage of the light and winter warmth of a south-facing wall.

This remodel also features a polished, hand-stained concrete floor in the entryway, and a "Lapeyre" staircase leading to a spacious loft.
