We’re coming to the cottage 🏡 Tucked into a fores We’re coming to the cottage 🏡 Tucked into a forested lot in Mill Valley, a pre-1900s-era cottage held immediate appeal for a family of four moving to Marin from San Francisco. The 2,000-square-foot, four-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath home had plenty of charm, including authentic original details like Douglas fir wall and ceiling paneling and a plated glass and wood front door. The interior, however, was dark and dated, and an unfinished utility space took up valuable real estate behind the kitchen and living room. Seeking to update the home for modern living while retaining its character, the family brought in San Francisco-based Craig O’Connell Architecture to execute a thoughtful renovation.  Learn how the home was transformed in our bio 🔗 ✍️ @lotusabrams_writes 📷 @rbradleyphoto 📐 Architecture: @craigoconnellarchitecture 🧰 Construction: Buck O’Neill Builders 🛋️ Styling: Madeline Shields #spacesmagazine #spacesmag #cottage #millvalley #homereno #homerenovation #marinhomes
Offering an escape to the Amalfi Coast, Bella is a Offering an escape to the Amalfi Coast, Bella is a new all-day dining and cocktail destination in San Francisco’s SOMA neighborhood from the team behind @audiosf and @bergeracsf: Jeff Davis, Bruce McDonald and David Brinkley. The space, formerly occupied by Bergerac, underwent a complete transformation before officially opening a few weeks ago. Designed by Sean Corino Design and built out by Fuad Dayyeh and the @iydevelopment team, Bella channels mid-century Italian summer getaways and vintage listening lounges with velvet couches, rattan chairs, wood paneling and sun-soaked imagery. By day, Bella is a relaxed aperitivo bar, where guests can unwind while listening to a soundtrack of coastal jazz, Italian lounge and 1960s soul; at night, it transforms into a music-driven cocktail club with rotating DJs curated by Peter Dukakis of @alldayallnightevents alongside Bella’s Maj Skouti. From brunch and happy hour to a late night out, guests can sample spritzes and Mediterranean-inspired cocktails created by Antonio Ricardez (formerly of Bergerac) as well as Italian-inspired bites from chef Jake Lucas (Palm House Hospitality, Off the Grid at Google) — all priced accessibly. Menu highlights include the Amalfi Spritzer (limoncello, St. Germain and prosecco); the Paloma Italian (reposado, Campari, grapefruit, lemon and agave); cacio e pepe risotto arancini; and shrimp with citrus, fennel, mint and parsley. 📍 316 11 St, San Francisco ✍️ @lotusabrams_writes 📷 @joegretophoto #spacesmagazine #spacesmag #newspaces #sanfrancisco #newrestaurant #cocktailbar
The team behind plant-based Healdsburg restaurant, The team behind plant-based Healdsburg restaurant, coffee lounge, and wine and cocktail bar Little Saint has just extended their feel-good, community-minded ethos to welcome overnight guests with the launch of the Cottages at Little Saint. Nestled among lushly landscaped walking paths only a few steps behind the restaurant, the Cottages at Little Saint are a feast for the eyes — the vision of renowned San Francisco designer Ken Fulk. Originally built in the 1980s, the four cottages — Gimme Shelter, Court, Spark and Déjà Vu — channel the spirit of iconic late-1960s and ’70s Laurel Canyon musicians like Joni Michell; Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young; and the Rolling Stones. Bespoke details include beamed ceilings, vintage-inspired wallpaper, vibrant tile and cozy fireplaces, blending whimsy and nostalgia with modern creative flair. Two of the rooms can even adjoin through a hand-painted “secret” armoire doorway by painter Rafael Arana. Each cottage boasts a customized selection of products, such as teas from Land + Local and handmade bath products from Herb Nerd, and a record player and curated vinyl collection to match the vibe. Helping guests relax and unwind even more, a heated pool is on-premise. 📍 425 Foss St, Healdsburg ✍️ @lotusabrams_writes 📷 @brendanmainini #spacesmagazine #spacesmag #newspaces #healdsburg #cottage

Nestled at the base of Mount Disney in the Sugar B Nestled at the base of Mount Disney in the Sugar Bowl resort, a 1970s ski house seemed like an ideal base camp for a pair of art collectors and skiers from San Francisco and their two kids — except that it hadn’t been updated in decades. Besides the dated linoleum floors and shag carpeting, the lower floor of the three-story, 3,400-square-foot house had been separated to serve as a rental. The dark, disjointed stairway concealed behind a massive stone fireplace and chopped-up rooms made for awkward navigation, and access to the deck outside was limited to a small door. Still, the family could envision the possibilities.  A year after the family purchased the home, the renovation got underway, guided by San Francisco-based Obata Noblin Office (ONO), founded by architects Tyler Noblin and Max Obata. “The biggest move we made was to rework the stairway,” Noblin says. “It became a central unifying element across the house.” Besides making it easier to travel between floors, the stairway is also now flooded with natural light from new windows. “With this new connection to the outdoors, it’s become a space not only to move through, but one that is also enjoyable to linger in,” he adds.

Its natural modernism stands apart, yet its soul remains pure wine country: earthy, honest and thoughtfully built with sustainability in mind. The home is the work of Ridge Design and Build, a family-owned firm led by siblings Allegra Diggins and Aaron Tudisco, and Tudisco’s wife, Sena Tudisco. The team handled nearly every aspect of the project, from the architecture and construction to the interior design and landscaping.
