Acacia retreat house

Living room with panoramic San Francisco Bay views in a Tiburon hilltop retreat

Location: Tiburon, California
Designed in 2020, currently under construction
Scope: interior design and construction administration
2350 sq.ft

The house sits on a hill with a picturesque view over the San Francisco Bay Area. The top living floor has panoramic windows and opens the view to the nearby yacht club, water, and hills. You can feel crispy air even when the windows are closed. The clients bought a 70’s house in 2018. The last renovation was made in the 90’s and the clients knew at first glance that they wanted to renovate. After living there for a couple of years, they got a clear idea of what wasn’t working for them. Originally the house had the fireplace and the TV on opposite sides of the living room, so if you put a sofa towards the TV, how could you sit to enjoy the fire? That was the main question and we found a proper solution with a modular sofa. Another tricky part was the small master bedroom where we had to find a place for the master closet.

We used white oak as the main material and gray ceramic granite as a reminiscence of concrete as we wanted to embrace the modern look of the house while emphasizing the 70’s architecture.
