“It’s a modern-meets-’70s, funky, awesome pl “It’s a modern-meets-’70s, funky, awesome place,” says Trent Michels of the hillside home he shares with his wife, Debbie Lewis. The couple purchased the ‘70s-era house in 2015 and spent the next few years renovating it and building a substantial addition. They brought in San Francisco’s Loczi Design Group to consult on the floor plan and all aspects of the interior. The result is an airy adobe filled with retro details and saturated colors that nod to the surrounding landscape: the blue and greens of the San Francisco Bay, which is visible from most of the rooms, as well as rust reds and marigolds. 🔗 in bio for more info. 📸: @kengutmaker.
When Kathy Baskett decided to update the interior When Kathy Baskett decided to update the interior of the Sausalito home she shares with her husband, Forest, she was apprehensive. “This house is his baby,” she says. “It’s his happy place.” Forest had worked closely with the late architect Donald Olsen to have the house built in the mid-90s, before he and Kathy were married. The property descends a steep hill on a small point of land, giving the house a lot of privacy as well as a 180-degree view of the bay. The architecture celebrates the view with huge, curved-glass windows throughout. “The structure itself is a feat of engineering,” says Paul Vincent Wiseman, founder and president of San Francisco’s the Wiseman Group, which was brought in to reinvent the interior spaces.

Good things take time, and so does planning your d Good things take time, and so does planning your dream home. In 2003, Paige and David Hirschkop moved into their mid-century modern East San Rafael home. Over the years, they worked hard to modernize it. A decade ago, for example, they gutted their dated kitchen and knocked down a wall to optimize their view of San Pablo Bay. Three years ago, the couple tackled the outdoor space. And while those upgrades were, indeed, major improvements, the house still lacked several items on their wish list — most notably, a master suite.

“Rose and Paul Smith loved almost everything abo “Rose and Paul Smith loved almost everything about Oakland’s Rockridge neighborhood. The one thing it lacked: Proximity to their tight-knit group of friends. ‘It seemed like all our best friends were moving to Marin, so when we got serious about buying a place, it just made sense to be there too,’ says Paul.” Go to the link in our bio for more photos and the full story. . . . . . @hopebuilt @daviddlivingston @craigoconnellarchitecture @stephenpringlerealtor @fairfaxopenforbusiness #marincounty #marinrealestate #homemakeover #dreamhome #openfloorplan #openconcept #homeremodel

The landscape architect, who lives in this Marin County home with her husband and professional partner, Eric, means it literally. The two collect rare, unusual and sometimes more common plants — first in their experimental nursery, which makes up only part of this lushly landscaped retreat of a permanent residence — and eventually in locations scattered across the expansive site."
