Located in Tiburon, this home was designed for a couple who wanted the look of a charming sea side cottage, similar to homes seen in Carmel, but were also looking to start a family and needed all of the modern conveniences and space to grow.
DomA worked closely with the clients to create a design that maintained their desired aesthetic of a sea side cottage that also functioned as practical living spaces.
The stone base, integral color stucco walls, limestone sills, slate roof and copper gutters all reflect the timeless beauty of a house that will stand the test of time.
