Design Philosophy
Our design philosophy starts with listening. You know
what you like, but how do you achieve your goal?
We listen as you articulate your vision, whether in
abstract or concrete terms. As we come to understand
your lifestyle and your tastes, we become better
equipped to translate your vision into reality, often with
spectacular results beyond your expectations. We’re
there at every phase of the project, helping you to
realize your goals. This approach has led many
customers to repeat the experience of involving us
in their home and office projects.

Specialties
Our expertise is best used when executing your vision
requires major remodeling. In one example, the client
wanted no surface left untouched. In others, walls
have been moved or disappeared, and rooms that were
previously of low value have been translated into
beautiful, cherished spaces. To achieve these marvels,
we manage various contractors, subcontractors,
furniture and cabinet makers, stonemasons, lighting
analysts, and other types of construction crews with
skills demonstrated to us on our many prior projects.
In the interiors, we have extensive product knowledge,
and can lead you to a wide variety of products that
match your taste. We’re also experts in kitchen and
bath remodeling, as well as lighting design.

Firm Profile
We have led projects in places as diverse as
both coasts of the US, Aspen, Guam and Cairo, over the
last 30 years. Locally, we’ve completed projects as far
north in the Bay Area as Sea Ranch and as far
south as Los Altos. Our office is located in Orinda;
we have done many projects in the Lamorinda area.
Our repeat client base includes Fortune 500 CEOs,
technology entrepreneurs, college presidents and many
others who appreciate the value and quality of our
design and project management expertise. From
traditional to cutting edge contemporary design,
we bring fresh ideas, a sense of adventure and a
refined aesthetic to every project. Jan Gunn, the
principal, was on the Board of Directors of
Northern California ASID from 2004 – 2007, 2010 - 2011
where she is Director of Professional Development for the
Society’s 700 members.
