This client is musical, funny and appreciates quirk and beauty. When we began the project he was a single father of four, and his greatest wish for the house was to have a happy atmosphere for his children. We tackled the kid’s rooms first, (a request we hardly ever hear), and from there in short order we…

This home is the perfect example of daring meets patience, where clients appreciate the benefits of layering over time. So many furniture pieces were family heirlooms, and we were delighted to set them in a stage where they feel modern and young. The architecture is an updated carriage house, with tall ceilings and generous rooms,…

This is the third home we have designed for these clients who are also dear friends. The renovation took more than three years, collaborating with Walker Warner Architects who updated every piece of the house and added a modern glass family room and master bedroom. The family who lives here has two small girls, and…

In collaboration with Marmol Radziner architects and our client (the fashion mastermind behind The Particulars) we transformed this 7,600 square foot coastal compound into a warm and friendly home for a young family. Given such a disciplined architectural envelope it was a challenge to introduce femininity and playfulness, and we did so by introducing lively…

When we arrived to photograph this project the dining room was filled with balloons from a recent birthday celebration, and we kept them in the pictures because they speak to the owners joyful and considerate nature. Everything here is thoughtful and intentional; custom furniture speaks to the husband’s tall stature, a fledgling BIPOC art collection…

The first project RAD ever did was for the owners of this Hillsborough Victorian, and they are now fondly and forever referred to as “client zero” around the office.  At this point we have collaborated on four different houses together, but this is the true jewel – years in the making and summed up beautifully…

We have worked with this family long enough to watch the children grow from little lemonade stand entrepreneurs to college students, and watching them prioritize joyful family life at every stage has been a delight. This property is kitted out for fun; it includes a pickleball court, a pool pavilion, formal dining areas and outdoor…

We looked to the Alps for inspiration for this mountain home, and settled on a story of Heidi (the Swiss children’s book character), who grows up to become an art student, and then travels to the American Rockies on her year abroad. Vegetal colors, Josef Frank patterns, embroidery and plaids all shine and bring life to…

Being selected to participate in a Showcase House is a huge honor, and we were thrilled to design the dining room for the San Francisco Decorator’s Showcase in 2017.  We decided to reimagine the dining room of this grand mansion as a family library, with a few tables big enough for breakfast in the morning,…

April Gargulio (Vintner’s Daughter) is a legendary founder in the Bay Area, and we were so thrilled to collaborate with her and fellow legendary founder Anna Brockaway (Chairish) on this project. The new offices included conference rooms, a fulfillment area and a large common area for staff and casual meetings. The setting is The Presidio…

Chloe has been a client of Sherri McMullen’s for years, and when the call came in to work on Sherri’s new flagship store in Oakland she couldn’t have been more thrilled. The new location was stunning, with 25’ ceilings and tons of potential, but it was definitely raw – dirt floor raw – and in…
