Bespoke Home Design for Our Bay Area

Since 2014 we've been helping Bay Area homeowners actualize their remodel or new-build goals into beautifully designed spaces they love to live in. We are a full service residential design firm specializing in new builds, additions, remodeling, renovations, interior design, and permitting. Collaborating with our clients from initial concept through project completion, we bring our years of expertise and professional network to create well-considered spaces tailored to you.

Our travels to Japan have been a treasure trove of inspiration! A standout so far has been the amazing Takenaka Carpentry Museum in Kobe. The design & creative use of materials of the museum (such as using sawdust concrete) brings a lot of ideas

  • "After months of trying to figure this out on our own, we called SDL. Sam started with three creative and unique vision boards for inspiration. His choices of tile, paint, fixtures, etc were on point. He was bold and balanced. I liked that he pushed us a little out of our comfort zone but was open to suggestions and honest with feedback."

    Monique K.

  • "Sam was a pleasure to work with - he brought great ideas to the project, while considering our needs and budget. He is professional, attentive and has a great sense of design. Sonoma County is a tough place to get permitting, but due to Sam’s diligence, the process went smoothly without a hitch and we were approved with no revisions needed. I would not hesitate to work with Sam in the future."
