1,487 photos later, @brucato_amaro with its distillery, bar and restaurant is opening to the public. Distinctly Californian with a little bit of Italian inspired charm, the new space is sun drenched and packed with plants, delicious food, and the very most delicious amaro cocktails. 🥃

First photo is Sam, the architect and designer of the new space, arriving for mock services last week. Swipe to the end to see her dancing with excitement at the beginning when the project was getting ready to start construction.

Bonnie and I had a beautiful evening last night with Christina Weber @studiopatro. In the most charming corner storefront at Hyde and Green, Studio Patro is known by many for their linen aprons, tea towels, and table linens. We talked and touched and talked some more, about design and Ellsworth Kelly inspirations, about being a business in San Francisco, about the beauty and charms of visiting Healdsburg and Sonoma county, the importance of craft and the balance of loving what you do and when it becomes work. We could have stayed all night.

We hope to see more of Christina soon! Pop in next time you walk by to be embraced by her hospitality and beautifully made linens @studiopatro

Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.

Our hearts still ache for the traumatic loss so many people and their communities are experiencing as a result of the destruction and aftermath of the fires in Los Angeles 💔 . In our office, we’ve been planning ways our skills and services can help — help people navigate next steps for rebuilding, expertise on Wildland-Urban-Interface (WUI) construction, probono design consultations.

Let us know if you have more ideas, or immediate needs.

Finally January is coming to an end, and the Year of the Snake has begun. 🧨🐍

Happy Lunar New Year! 🐍 🧨

We read the most charming Sweet & Sour newsletter from our dear friends @eatmamahuhu this morning. Somehow, 5 years have lapsed since they opened their first restaurant. Fastforward, we have now done three Mamahuhu restaurants together <3.

A quick trip down memory lane, we’ve pulled some old mood board imagery, compiled photos from Clement, Mill Valley, and Noe Valley restaurants, and some of the branding inspiration that the design process started with (so many years ago now).

May the Year of the Snake bring you prosperity, wisdom, creativity, and joy.

Keeping our eye out for a little extra cheer this dark season. I love it every time I pass this project -- the hot pink always brings a smile to my face.⁣
⁣
It has felt particularly dark as we approach the winter solstice, so I checked sunrise and sunset times. I do not recommend doing this. 🌚 Just know that it's about to start getting better, little by little every morning and night. ⁣

We hope your holiday is filled to the brim with loved ones.

As we go off to spend times with our loved ones this week, we wanted to share an acknowledgment for the original stewards of our home. We respectfully acknowledge the Ramaytush Ohlone, the original inhabitants of what is now the San Francisco Peninsula.

Indigenous communities have lived in and moved through this land over hundreds of generations and Indigenous peoples from many nations make their home in this region today. Please join us in recognizing and honoring their ancestors, descendants, and all other members of their communities.

As the rain continues, we are so happy our client @park.padel has 6 indoor Padel courts in their newest location. Quickly, we’re watching the space transform into a community with yoga, pasta dinners, family nights, and so many events to compliment their courts, warm-up areas, and wind-down areas.

Can’t wait to share more photos of the locker rooms soon.

You may never guess that this isn’t the original Primary Bedroom. In the Russian Hill House, we bumped out the bedroom to gain some additional square footage, and added a small balcony to capture more daylight and a stolen view of the lush courtyard below. ⁣
⁣
In this old home we both preserved and enhanced the original charm and character, and made it feel fresh and new for the family. 🏡🔨⁣

⛏We’ve broken ground! The landscape for our ground-up Point Reyes project is being graded for the complex of two homes and a series of supporting buildings.

Nestled tightly against the landscape, we worked closely with the two families to locate the buildings in response to views, prevailing winds, daylight, watershed, and existing trees. This is an exciting construction milestone for Studio BBA, our client and the contractor. 🎉

Oftentimes, our projects evolve with our clients. If you visit Tartine on 9th today, it doesn't look the same as it did here on our photoshoot day. We believe this evolutions is a beautiful part of the process, and part of how we measure our project success. ⏳🔮 We cannot design for every possible future, but we love that the character and quality of our spaces lasts long after the First Day of Business. ⁣
