That’s a wrap on the @sffallshow! We spent the fin That’s a wrap on the @sffallshow! We spent the final day at the Lecture Series, sponsored by SPACES partner @whitemarble_pietrafina, where Christopher Roy and Anu Jain joined editor Alisa Carroll for a conversation about San Francisco's fascinating design history and culture of elegance mixed with innovation. We left feeling incredibly inspired and proud of our Bay Area design community.

Along the way, we stopped to admire a few beautiful vignettes and finally got to meet the Pietra Fina family, including their sweet furry family member.

Thank you to everyone who made this year’s show unforgettable. Until next fall!

Congratulations to @sffallshow on a spectacular op Congratulations to @sffallshow on a spectacular opening night! This year’s Fall Show was SPACES’ first since our relaunch, and we were proud to be a sponsor and celebrate alongside the Bay Area design community.

We loved spending time with Ansley Majit of @larkandpalm, Michael Moore of @sfdesigncenter, Alexandra Bernadini of @whitemarble_pietrafina and Susan Snyder of @caldwellsnydergallery. Lucky for us, we were introduced to more friends at @the_wiseman_group and @irg_stoneboutique just before the night closed out.

Hope to see more of you this weekend!

Over the years, longtime San Francisco residents A Over the years, longtime San Francisco residents Aunkur and Tina have visited wine country many times, but one trip to Sonoma changed everything, ultimately inspiring them to build a retreat of their own. “During the summer of 2017, we decided to rent a farmhouse in Sonoma for the month of July,” Aunkur recalls. “That summer was magic — every day we swam, barbecued and took advantage of the outdoor space and privacy we had no access to in the city.” The next summer, the couple decided to purchase a 2.6-acre property located just a few minutes down the road from the home they had rented. “We knew nothing about building a house, let alone in the country, but we took the leap of faith anyway!” Aunkur says.

For more than two decades, entrepreneur and philan For more than two decades, entrepreneur and philanthropist Lily Kanter has called this historic Mill Valley home her own, raising three sons and founding companies including Serena & Lily within its walls. Now, she's reimagined it for the next stage of her life, one centered on community and connection.

Originally a 1907 estate known as Wildwood, the 9,000-square-foot house has been reworked with a white oak sunroom, a great room anchored by a new kitchen and a walk-through bar in Patagonia quartzite and walnut. Textiles from women artisans around the world add color and meaning throughout. It's a renovation designed to bring people together, in the same spirit as the home's earliest days.

Tucked into a sliver of land between the road, an aspen and pine grove, and the shore of Lake Tahoe, this 900-square-foot cabana works year-round. Reclaimed barnwood, steel-framed pocketing glass doors, radiant-heated stone floors and a roof deck with lake views make it a place to entertain in any weather.

With views of the bay stretching all the way to Sa With views of the bay stretching all the way to San Francisco, a Mediterranean-style home in Sausalito captivated a couple from Southern California — despite a host of existing problems. After years of deferred maintenance, the 2,100-square-foot, three-story home’s framing and foundation were failing, and the layout of the lackluster interior was choppy and cramped. Still, the couple took the leap, envisioning the potential. After almost a year of making due living in the home as is, the homeowners reached out to DNM Architecture to help kickoff a renovation.

Following an extensive two-year renovation led by  Following an extensive two-year renovation led by Signum Architecture and BAMO, Beaulieu Vineyard (BV) has just unveiled a stunning new hospitality center that blends modern design with original structural elements, bringing new life to the winery’s historic stone buildings in Rutherford. The structures, dating to the 1880s, were thoughtfully restored, while new floor-to-ceiling glass, reclaimed redwood from former winery tanks, and salvaged Douglas Fir were incorporated into design. Historical artifacts and custom artwork by local Bay Area artists are also incorporated throughout the winery. 

There are seven distinct tasting spaces, including the light-filled Rutherford Atrium; the open-air 1885 Courtyard; the Founders’ Garage, where guests can view cofounder Georges de Latour’s Cadillac up close; and the glass jewel box called The Rarity Room named for the winery’s Rarity Cabernet Sauvignon, of which only six vintages have ever been released. BV has also launched a new culinary program led by winery chef Sam McKenzie, with experiences ranging from light seasonal bites to multicourse pairings and small plates inspired by archival menus from BV cofounder Fernande de Latour.

An empty nest prompted a couple in Mill Valley to An empty nest prompted a couple in Mill Valley to search for a home to spend the next stage of their lives in — a place to both relax together and entertain friends and family. A 1920s-era, 2,700-square-foot home in Fairfax on an acre property overlooking the Mt. Tamalpais watershed was in need of a renovation, but they could see the potential.

This spring marked the start of a new era for icon This spring marked the start of a new era for iconic Cliff May-designed Robert Mondavi Winery, which has undergone a thoughtful transformation led by architecture firm Aidlin Darling Design and landscape architecture firm Surfacedesign. Established in 1966 by Robert Mondavi, the midcentury Oakville landmark is defined by its distinctive arch and tower. Over time, however, the property underwent a number of haphazard expansions that left the campus disconnected from the surrounding landscape and To Kalon vineyard.

After restoring the winery’s signature arch and tower, the team designed an adjacent structure with an inverted gable canopy to house the hospitality spaces: a series of indoor and outdoor tasting environments, terraces, a reception bar, a retail shop and a courtyard oriented toward the vineyard. A new culinary building includes an indoor-outdoor veranda that frames views of the winery’s culinary gardens. The winery’s original south wing was restored to reflect Cliff May’s residential sensibility, while the north wing was fully reimagined to support state-of-the-art wine production facilities, as well as private tasting rooms and interactive experiences. Throughout, interior furnishings were designed by San Francisco-based firm BAMO.

Landscaping upgrades include the new To Kalon Bowl, an oak-framed amphitheater with views of the Mayacamas Mountains. A series of terraces, gardens and vineyard-facing spaces are planted with native and adapted Mediterranean plants, keeping sustainability top-of-mind. 

Many of the winery’s original elements were also preserved and reused during the project. Hand-painted tiles by Margrit Mondavi were reinstalled; artwork from the family’s collection was used throughout the hospitality spaces; oak tank staves were reworked into doors, wall systems and ceilings; and salvaged timber was integrated into displays and landscape elements.
