From Michelle Lisac

Our latest endeavor involved the renovation of a 1960's home in San Jose. Inspired by the Japandi design movement, we sought to infuse this home with a rich blend of natural elements and intentional material selections.

Key highlights of our project include:

Kitchen Expansion: We extended the footprint of the kitchen, providing a more functional and inviting space for the homeowners.
Organic Details: To create a light, airy, and textured environment we introduced handmade tile along with ceramic pendants that brought organic warmth to the space.

The result is a harmonious fusion of modern sophistication and timeless charm, offering depth and interest to every corner of the home.
