A Japanese-inspired home in Marin County is the elegant result of deeply understanding how the homeowners—two Bay Area artists—live and how their structure interacts with the one-acre property. The existing house was neither built nor oriented well; the newly designed one-story dwelling faces south to maintain the best sun exposure and garden views. Collaborating with sophisticated clients with impeccable taste and who understood architectural and design details was a joy,

Clients wanted a house that blended with the natural world and surrounding landscape.

The home was also to serve as a personal art gallery. 

Clients are a musician and film director with an impressive art collection.
