Featured in Dwell Magazine online, we constructed this modern and sleek structure for Seth and Melissa Hanley of Design Blitz, an SF Based architecture firm. The owners call this unique structure a “Shudio” a tongue in cheek reference to the former glum potting shed that previously occupied the space where the new open and airy studio sits. The Shudio features a cedar ceiling, ample glass, apple-ply interior cladding and a metal standing seam roof. The barn doors on either side of the structure can be opened up to allow guests and party goers to flow through the structure while enjoying an al-fresco cocktail in the couple’s backyard.

This ground up pool house was a great addition to an already fabulous Sonoma property. Redwood Builders constructed this 900 square foot pool house and complimentary spa which anchored the back of the lot and the existing pool in to one cohesive property. The pool house features a great room, full guest bedroom with en-suite bath, plus an exterior “cabana” bath with changing room and outdoor shower. Two fireplaces, a BBQ island with stainless steel cabinetry and a sliding pass through window / bar compliment this build and make for great outdoor living.

More photos coming soon…. This custom home built in Santa Rosa consists of multiple building units joined by a common roof to form one house. A zen guest house retreat with custom Japanese soaking tub was also constructed for the homeowners.

The Occidental Road project consisted of a full gut remodel of an existing 3000 square foot house. All of the interior finishes were replaced including flooring, tile, plumbing fixtures, custom cabinetry, interior doors and custom interior window trim. All of the existing windows and doors were also replaced to complete this transformation. Redwood Builders worked with Zeitgeist of Sonoma on this project.

My team changed the roof line of this major remodel by removing the entire existing roof structure and installing new trusses. New windows and doors, custom redwood siding and stucco completed the building envelope. We also did a full interior remodel with a new kitchen, remodeled bathrooms and refinished wood flooring. The last photos in the post show the previous style of the house and the roof framing process. These photos were taken by me on my iphone so please excuse the quality.

My team completely refurbished an existing house at Bodega Harbor. Our work included all new windows and doors, siding, flatwork, decks and a small addition to house a 3rd bathroom. We remodeled the interior of the home with new flooring, drywall, and electrical and replaced all of the fixtures and finishes in the three bathrooms.

This extensive remodel in Mill Valley consisted of gutting the majority of the first floor of the residence back to the studs, removing and relocating walls, and adding a few beams to open up the floorplan. All new finishes were installed including custom cabinetry, new flooring throughout, new energy efficient Marvin doors and windows, new appliances, tile and paint. This home was located down a hillside (about 45 stair steps down a winding garden path) which made access a fun challenge for the Redwood Builders team.

A nice little remodel in Sonoma. Our client asked us to update the home and make it a little more modern. We started with opening the kitchen to the main living area by removing a wall and adding a beam. The kitchen itself was a full gut with new cabinets, countertops, appliances, and fixtures. We then updated both bathrooms with new fixtures, furnishings, and an expanded footprint for one of them. We also took down a low height wall on the existing staircase and replaced it with a sleek and modern View Rail system. An Ortal gas fireplace was added in the living room to create some warmth and ambiance. A small single door out to the deck was replaced with a large slider and we added a pair of French doors off of the kitchen to the back patio. We topped it all of with new paint, flooring and trim throughout the interior as well as a new exterior paint scheme and a new wire railing and trellis for the deck.

This cool, simple and clean ADU was built in partnership with Alchemy Architects. This project was a combination of site built construction and off site pre-fabrication resulting in a sleek, modern, and affordable studio. This studio is named the LightHouse by Alchemy and is designed to be a efficient studio ADU that will fit in most residential back or side yards. Interior photos are courtesy of Alchemy Architects.

This gorgeous, sleek and modern 2 bedroom was created from an old RV storage shed and shop. Some features include a 10’x10′ fully insulated glass and aluminum roll up door, a polished concrete slab, and a simple and modern kitchen from Ikea.

This structure started out as a typical storage and shop barn space, then the creative owners (both artists and musicians) came up with the concept to transform their dusty barn into a usable gallery and music studio space. The project consisted of a new roof, a colored concrete topping slab, spray foam insulation, new interior tongue and groove wall cladding, and the creation of an interior vestibule with wood and glass french doors. The old rusted corrugated metal roof material was re-purposed on the ceiling of the barn and outside of the entry vestibule to add to the overall aesthetic.
