When the location is perfect, it's easy to see the When the location is perfect, it's easy to see the potential. That's exactly what drew these homeowners to a dated 1954 Kentfield residence. While the single-story home needed significant updates, its setting—and sweeping Mt. Tam views—made it an opportunity worth pursuing. Working with their design team, they added a second story, expanded the living space and transformed the house into a modern home designed to make the most of its surroundings. Take a look inside the transformation.

A verdant outdoor oasis in the Terra Linda neighbo A verdant outdoor oasis in the Terra Linda neighborhood of San Rafael, Boris and Sydney Chen’s garden is lushly planted with more than 500 edible and ornamental plants and fruit trees. Boris, a hobbyist woodworker who works in the professional services industry, and Sydney, an ICU nurse and former professional horticulturist, undertook much of the property’s transformation themselves after moving to San Rafael from San Francisco a few years ago.  Learn about the transformation process in our bio 🔗 ✍️ Lotus Abrams 📷 Monica May & Mark Romero 🌳 Landscape architect: Steph Kawachi 🧰 Landscape construction: Gary Torney Landscaping Co #marinmagazine #spacesmagazine #garden #sanrafael

Newly opened in Palo Alto, Bar Underdog was founde Newly opened in Palo Alto, Bar Underdog was founded by Master Sommelier Dennis Kelly and chef Anthony Secviar, who met at The French Laundry and later opened the Michelin-starred Protégé across the street. Despite their prestigious reputations, however, Kelly and Secviar intended Bar Underdog to be the kind of convivial neighborhood spot where locals feel comfortable dropping in anytime for a craft cocktail like the No. 34, made with gin, lacto-fermented strawberry, genmaicha and yuzu, and a modestly priced bar snack, like the Korean corn-cheese puffs with smoked mozzarella and pickled jalapeño or the tuna tartare with plum miso, avocado and sweet onion “chips.” The inviting space was designed by Studio KDA featuring a material palette that merges Japanese influence and Bay Area warmth, framed portraits of iconic pop-culture “underdogs,” and a hand-painted entry mural. Fitting the casual vibe, there are no reservations taken, and a late-night “moonlight menu” is designed to welcome the area’s hospitality workers. 📍299 California Ave, # 110, Palo Alto ✍️ @lotusabrams_writes 📷 @kristenloken #spacesmagazine #newspaces #paloalto
The team behind Lazy Bear recently opened French r The team behind Lazy Bear recently opened French restaurant JouJou — a glamorous addition to San Francisco’s Design District dining scene. Guests at the new hotspot, designed by Jon de la Cruz of DLC-ID and Liebes Architects, can dine on decadent seafood towers and brasserie classics like escargot toast and petrale sole meunière in elegant environs that channel the French Riviera in the 1970s.  The upstairs dining room is embellished with a burgundy-veined marble oyster counter, Art Nouveau-inspired palm-frond wallpaper, vintage green dining chairs and tufted banquettes, while the lower dining room and wine cellar feature intimate booth seating surrounding a private dining room wrapped in green cheetah wallcovering. The glass-enclosed bar, meanwhile, evokes a verdant greenhouse, decked out in shades of green and accented with lush foliage. 📍65 Division Street, San Francisco ✍️ @lotusabrams_writes 📷 @douglasfriedman #spacesmagazine #spacesmag #newspaces #sanfranciscorestaurant

A tale as old as time: What started as a small-sca A tale as old as time: What started as a small-scale remodeling project ultimately encompassed the whole house. It all began when designer Ansley Majit, founding principal at L+P Interiors, and the clients decided that the layout would work much better if the location of the kitchen, which had windows to the back and doors to the front, was swapped with the neighboring family room — a dark, ill-proportioned space.  Learn how the renovation went in our bio 🔗 ✍️ @lotusabrams_writes 📷 @rbradleyphoto 📐 Architecture: @richardsonpribussarchitects 🛋️ Interior design: @larkandpalm 🧰 Construction: @millennialdevelopmentinc 🌳 Landscape design: @green17design #spacesmagazine #spacesmag #interiordesign #homerenovation #kentwoodlands #hometransformation #homeremodel #homereno
