Where we live

Like the iconic Monterey cypress we are native to these parts. We know the intricacies of the local rules, permits, and ordinances, and which vendors are truly masters of their craft. We are hands-on from consultation to move-in, and protective of everything that makes our area so beloved, including what we design/build for you.

YOU ARE OUR MUSE

Before spiral stairs, there were Nautilus shells. Before cedar shakes, feathers and scales. Before we design for you, we listen to you, and learn from you. We discover what makes you tick, what you value and respect, what soothes you, impresses you, and grates on your nerves. We ask and we dig, observe and explore. We come to understand what makes you who you are. We study how nature would solve it, then we create spaces that reflect you, and most importantly, inspire you.
