AESTHETIC ARCHITECTURE | We were tasked with redesigning a project originally conceived by another architect to better align with the client’s vision. From the entrance to the walk-up stairs, roof, and concrete wall finish, we reimagined the overall style to achieve a timeless, modern design—grounded, yet elegant, and free from fleeting trends. Located in Los Altos Hills, this project captures a sophisticated balance between form and function.

In this pool house project, I chose Farrow & Ball’s Smelt Black for the ceiling to ground the space with a sense of depth and warmth, creating a comfortable gathering area. The large daybed, with its movable back supports, offers versatility—perfect for lounging or transforming into a cozy guest room. Monochromatic sand tones, textured elements, subtle patterns, and a hint of understated glam bring everything together for a flexible and inviting multi-use space.

Timeless Interiors Stand the Test of Time.

The subtle elegance of this 2013 Castro Valley project reveals the quiet virtues of timelessness. The foyer in the foreground offers a warm welcome, leading into a kitchen and dining space that feels fresh, undated, and inviting.

Subtle Color Palette: Soft, neutral tones create a calm backdrop, allowing the art and decor to draw focus without overwhelming the eye.

These spaces, untouched by time, speak to the harmony of classic aesthetics paired with a soft-modern restraint, ensuring they remain relevant and inviting for years to come.

“In a world of excess, restraint becomes an art form—where each choice is deliberate, each space intentional. A muted palette allows form and texture to speak, inviting quiet elegance over spectacle. The art of restraint is in knowing that less is not emptiness, but a canvas for life to unfold with grace.”

A Powder Room Story : Wood wraps the room like a soft embrace, transforming it into a sanctuary of warmth. Every surface, from the mirror-framed wall to the seamless cabinetry, breathes a quiet calm, infusing the space with the tranquil essence of a Southern California vibe. The natural grain of the wood reflects simplicity, balancing sophistication with an understated ease. In the adjacent TV room, the continuity of this wood detailing creates a sense of flow, where relaxation and refinement coexist. The dark, rounded swivel CB2 chair anchors the space with its presence, a subtle nod to the gentle curves of the coastline, while the open layout calls into the promise of endless summer days.

Sunlight spills through the skylight, pouring warmth into this serene Pasadena retreat. The airy, vaulted ceilings echo the open skies of an LA summer, while soft, natural wood tones ground the space in quiet elegance. A cowhide rug lies casually on the oak floors, bridging the soft lines of contemporary furnishings with the raw texture of nature. Plush seating invites you to sink in, framed by the play of shadows and light. It’s a moment of calm—like an early morning walk along the beach before the city stirs awake.
