Waterside Wonder

Location: San Rafael, California

This kitchen addition extends toward the bay, creating new living spaces with panoramic water views. The project features a large wooden island that transforms the kitchen into a central gathering space overlooking rolling hills and water.

The new dining area has floor-to-ceiling windows that frame changing bay views throughout the day. Built-in seating creates a cozy breakfast nook, while warm wood and sage green cabinetry complement the natural setting. Exposed ceiling beams add visual interest to the open space.

A workspace connects the original home to the new primary suite, providing a functional office area with views. The primary bedroom becomes a waterfront retreat with direct views of the bay and kayakers below.

The design uses natural materials and generous windows to create spaces that feel connected to the water while remaining comfortable and functional for daily family life.
