A contribution to architectural history.
We’re honored to have contributed to the realization of Hale Napo’o Kaui, a project designed by @olsonkundig that is now officially featured in their new book, Complete Houses.
When industry leaders like Tom Kundig design a masterpiece, they need a team that can execute the vision without compromise. Seeing our work documented in this career-spanning monograph is a proud reminder of why we do what we do: excellence in every detail.

Did you know that @sterlingvineyards got a total makeover including a new and improved gondola ride by the team at @doppelmayr.usa Shawback Design worked with @centricgeneralcontractors to give this iconic winery a fresh new design. Springtime is the best time for a special tasting experience.

Award-winning hospitality design is all about the details.
Huge thanks to @napavalleylifemag for naming @alphaomegacollective the Best Downtown Napa Tasting Room! We loved collaborating with the Alpha Omega team to reimagine this iconic space.
Our goal was to balance high-function flow with an elevated, boutique atmosphere. By layering rich textures - like @phillipjeffriesltd wallpaper and bold, carved wood art by @gracistudio - we created a sensory experience that complements some of the finest wines in the valley.
Next time you’re on the corner of Randolph and First, come see how intentional design meets world-class service. Cheers!

March Blooms
We are inspired by the fresh blooms outside of our #NapaValley studio. Those deep plum tones work as a neutral in well designed spaces.

Stag's Leap Residence: A Fireplace Reimagined Through Material
For the Stags Leap living room, we redesigned the fireplace as a sculptural centerpiece rooted in texture and material balance. Working with our partners at TBC Plaster we developed a custom vertical plaster treatment that adds depth and softness while catching natural light throughout the day.
A stone hearth grounds the piece with organic stone and understated richness, while a steel frame introduces crisp contrast and architectural precision. The result is a fireplace that feels handcrafted, timeless, and deeply tied to the surrounding landscape.

Quiet luxury begins with simplicity.
Soft light, warm woods, and sculptural fixtures bring a calm, spa-like serenity to the primary bath—an intimate retreat designed for restoration and pause.

Details make the architecture sing.
In this Silicon Valley compound, sculptural lighting becomes more than illumination—it’s a design element that echoes the home’s scale, texture, and materiality. From hand-crafted fixtures to the way light grazes stone and wood, each moment reinforces the seamless dialogue between interior and exterior. Thoughtfully layered lighting enhances intimacy within expansive volumes, allowing the home to feel both grounded and refined.

Wishing you a season filled with warmth, beauty, and quiet joy.
Soft textures, natural materials, and a restrained palette set the tone for a holiday that feels effortless and inviting. Sometimes the most memorable celebrations happen in spaces that allow us to slow down, gather close, and simply be present.
