HAPPY HILLSIDE HACIENDA
TIBURON, CA
This is my familyโs home, and was a multi-year renovation of an original adobe cottage situated a few miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge in the Bay Area. Although we significantly expanded the homeโs footprint, our priority was on creating cozy destinations and spaces that are frequently usedโnothing โoff limitsโ or too precious. We designed for hosting, whether fire pit sโmores, formal holiday dinners, or garden parties, and emphasized the indoor/outdoor connection thatโs a celebrated way of life in Northern California.
WISH LIST:
elegant but playful aesthetic honoring the original homeโs bones; distinct on-property destinations for everyday living and entertaining
PROJECT INSPIRATION:
wide water views and established palm treesโ a Santa Barbara-inspired sensibility
