Located in a vintage brick building in San Francisco Design District, my office reflects my passion for collecting and design. My studio is at the same time an experimental space to try new ideas and a place to display treasured objects. I have divided the one large high-ceiling space into a reception area, working area, meeting room and pantry. The reception area reproduces a part of the room I designed for 2013 San Francisco Designer Showcase and consists of a custom cold rolled steel sofa and attached bookshelf. The seating is upholstered in burlap following traditional French mattress construction. The main area is symmetrical: in the center, a large 17 foot island is used by the staff for presentations and layout and provides substantial storage. On each side of the island, individual workstations were constructed with bent cold rolled steel. The conference area is set off by steel bookshelves inset with a pair of antique Chinese doors. A large concrete conference table is paired with natural saddle cab armchairs. The framed painted wood panels on the walls are particularly dear to me as they were part of a 17th century Portuguese coffered ceiling in a residence that has been in my family since the time of installation. Adjacent to the conference table is a cozy lounge area that incorporates a 17th century Jacobean chair upholstered in bargello and an antique Vargueno on a Chinese table. My collections, ranging from Han Dynasty pottery to numerous carpenter tools, are displayed throughout the office on the floor, shelves, tables, and window ledges.

A bachelor client, for whom we have worked with on two urban residential projects, hired us to create a fun and hip ski retreat in Tahoe. A floor-to-ceiling cold-rolled steel fireplace, highlighted by artist Jihoon Choi’s “Pixel Deer”, dominates the principal room. Floor-to-ceiling stacked wood adjacent to the fireplace becomes a design element and hides the entertainment center. The seating area consists of a large leather sectional and a pair of 1960s swivel chairs by Thonet purchased by the client in Miami. Photography by Sharon Montrose and a mixed-media collage on a wood door created by Tim Weldon add a touch of whimsy. The dining area has a 7-foot recycled wood square table surrounded by classic Cassina Cab armchairs, able to accommodate up to 16 guests. The powder room features a live-edge floating shelf, a mirror Designed by Jacques Adnet and custom Union Square wallpaper by Crezana. The corridor leading to the bedrooms showcases 19th century albumen photographs of the Tahoe region. Each of five bedrooms was given its own personality: the burlap bedroom; the log bedroom; the gray bedroom; the antler bedroom; and the master, with a circular metal hanging chair overlooking the unobstructed view of the mountains. A large vintage “hotel” neon sign in the master bathroom adds nostalgia to the space. The perfect mountain retreat: a casual and inviting house to welcome the owner’s many guests.
