HAPPY HILLSIDE HACIENDA

TIBURON, CA

This is my familyโ€™s 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 homeโ€™s footprint, our priority was on creating cozy destinations and spaces that are frequently usedโ€”nothing โ€œoff limitsโ€ or too precious. We designed for hosting, whether fire pit sโ€™mores, formal holiday dinners, or garden parties, and emphasized the indoor/outdoor connection thatโ€™s a celebrated way of life in Northern California.

WISH LIST:
elegant but playful aesthetic honoring the original homeโ€™s bones; distinct on-property destinations for everyday living and entertaining

PROJECT INSPIRATION:
wide water views and established palm treesโ€” a Santa Barbara-inspired sensibility
