A contemporary, mid-century style house on a hillside in Mill Valley, California.

Homes shaped by light, landscape, and everyday life

testimonials

"Anna is very warm and easy to work with. She immediately understood our needs and taste, and guided us thoughtfully within our style and budget. She was highly responsive throughout both the design and construction processes, and helped make decisions much easier when everything felt overwhelming.

The end result is a chic and comfortable home that feels warm, welcoming, and perfectly suited to how we live.”

Deniz

Novato Residence

"Anna has a rare ability to balance design intent with real-world constraints. On our ADU projects, which were among the first to move through San Francisco under the City’s then-new ADU program, she was thoughtful about zoning, life safety, and constructability, and helped transform underutilized ground-floor space into livable, light-filled units. She’s clear, disciplined, and easy to work with from early feasibility through permitting and construction."

Kevin

"From the beginning, the design process took into account that we would be building the project ourselves over time. The drawings and details made it possible to phase the work while keeping the overall vision intact, including the transformation of the crawlspace into a functional lower level with a strong connection to the yard.

Anna was practical, generous with her time, and personally involved when it mattered. Self-building let us prioritize craft and materials, and the finished spaces reflect the care that went into the design and the details."

Miraloma Park Residence

"Working with Anna has been a great experience. She helped us navigate a complex, phased renovation with clarity and calm, and gave us a remodel design we are thrilled with. The yard alone has completely changed how we view and use our house, and the addition design is equally thoughtful and well-integrated. Even when progress was slower than expected, Anna was steady, responsive, and always focused on the bigger picture. Highly recommend."

Buena Vista Residence

"The process of working with Anna and Alex was absolutely seamless. Their thoroughness and problem-solving expedited a very challenging process and they were a bright spot in an otherwise arduous initiative. We looked forward to design meetings where they went above and beyond -- presenting both what was required along with a healthy and inspiring stretch of what could be.

Their impeccable drawings were the best the City had ever seen and it was no surprise that construction estimates from multiple contractors were nearly all identical because their documentation left no room for ambiguity. We can't recommend them highly enough."

Pam

Mill Valley Residence

"We were on a very tight timeline with guests coming soon, and Anna helped us move quickly without feeling rushed. Her renderings made it easy to visualize the design and feel confident in our decisions, and she came up with creative solutions that turned awkward geometries into comfortable, usable spaces.

She also consistently thought outside the box, offering multiple thoughtful design options for an especially tricky area we had no idea how to approach. We’re so happy with how it all came together."

Sam & Aria

Belmont Guest Room

"We loved working with Anna. From the very beginning, she took the time to really get to know our style, our quirks, and how we actually live in our space. She thoughtfully helped us think through several possible remodel scopes, gathered quotes, and guided us with clarity and patience as we weighed our options.

Our shared fondness for the “raisin in the bread”  - those small, unexpected details that make a space special - shows up beautifully in the final design. The result is a kitchen that suits us perfectly in both form and function, and we honestly couldn’t be happier with how it turned out."
