HOSPITALITY

COMMERCIAL

WEST SONOMA COUNTY SEBASTOPOL HOUSE WEST SONOMA COUNTY After a five year search up and down the bay, the clients purchased this "shack with a view" on 2.7 acres in West Sonoma County. The 1,300 SF 1978 Sea Ranch inspired existing house had not been touched and the steeply sloping site was an open canvas with the exception of 8 majestic redwoods. Working through a 'forever house' program required multiple schematic design options (including a tear down) and eventually landed on remoding the house and adding a 750 SF pool house with all the adjacent amenities: infinity pool, sauna, teak hot tub, large outdoor entertainment space, bocce court, ping pong and a mediterranean inspired, fire resilient garden to tie it all together. Sustainable features include a net zero house powered by a 22 KW solar array with battery back up (the house is in a WUI zone and power grid shut down is common), radiant heating, mini split air conditioning in key spaces, reclaimed redwood decking and vertical grain doug fir (from northern CA), hybrid pool heater (choose between electric and gas heating options). The project is WUI compliant. The client LOVES basalt rip-rap - which was used extensively throughout the site for both decorative and functional uses: swales, retaining walls, sculptural features. We worked closely with Daniel Nolan to weave a drought tolerant, sophisticated plant palette into a 1 acre garden paradise around the house. We worked with Saturn Construction to establish a Japandi Norcali vibe in the pool house (limestone and oak plank floors, rice hull plaster walls and reclaimed vertical grain doug fir cabinets and ceilings and extended that vibe into the main house while keeping the vintage spatial volumes. The project is in the last phase of construction (completion scheduled for summer 2025) and will include a music room, home office, and a Glenn Murcutt-inspired carport.

DROPBOX HQ SAN FRANCISCO Our design for this young company’s new 70,000 sq. ft. China Basin headquarters provides flexibility for their fast-growing business, while introducing innovative approaches to urban workplace density. If cubicles are the suburbs then our approach to Dropbox HQ is downtown, with their core product as the design inspiration. The company’s new workspace a simple, well-executed container that maximizes functionality and allows for customization without compromising honest aesthetics. Our design reiterates our belief that all spaces – particularly the all-too-often neglected office – deserve real materials and attentive, appropriately-scaled interventions. The primary challenge of this design was to continue the charged and collaborative newsroom feel of the company’s former open office space, while planning for projected growth that could more than quadruple staff. Wrapping the existing building core, a nearly 1,600 ft. continuous circulation loop provides daylight and views to the entire office. The open space plan is organized to be approachable but intensively active and vibrant. Team groupings of open workstations and centralized social spaces line the glazed perimeter, interspersed with shared work rooms, interview and meeting spaces, and informal lounges. The scale and placement of the work groups provides team unity and isolated acoustics, while still maintaining views to neighboring groups to achieve the company’s desire that everyone maintain a connection to overall density. Specific auxiliary spaces include: phone, break, game, music, server, gym, kitchen, and dining.

THE PLANT CAFÉ ORGANIC - DOGPATCH SAN FRANCISCO Revitalizing the exposed brick and timbers, original sash windows and concrete floors of this space in the storied 1915 American Can Company sets the backdrop for this location of The Plant Café Organic. At the heart of the Dogpatch neighborhood, the ACC complex was originally dedicated to manufacturing but has evolved into an epicenter for designers, artists, makers, culinary businesses and cultural spaces. Studio BBA’s design approach focused on creating integral outdoor spaces and connections to surrounding businesses. By cutting a new opening through the rear brick wall, we introduced access to the existing courtyard patio, now framed by a beautiful custom mahogany door. An enormous ceramic planter and palm add greenery, and a new window into the adjacent bakery adds interconnectivity. Inside, custom steel and maple shelving and tables, dimensional Heath Ceramics tiles, and truly awesome carnivorous plant-themed wallpaper enliven the space. This café adjoins The Plant Café Organic’s ‘mother ship’ facility, which they affectionately refer to as “the plant of The Plant”—the central kitchen where new and seasonal creations are developed, provisions are prepped and distributed, and their catering operation is housed. The café’s adjacency to this facility lends the atmosphere a tone of inspiration and invention.
