When Reach Capital set up shop in SoMa's tech hub, When Reach Capital set up shop in SoMa's tech hub, they wanted their space to reflect their collaborative spirit and passion for education. We designed a light-filled, open floor plan that preserved the building’s industrial charm while supporting flexible, functional work. Exposed beams, folding glass doors, natural light, and a chalkboard wall tie it all together.

Repost from @marinmagazine This Mill Valley home Repost from @marinmagazine

This Mill Valley home was remodeled for family, friends and community 💛

🏀 The driveway is used for neighborhood basketball games rather than parking cars

🔥🪵 The front yard features a firepit instead of fences and gates

📚 📺 The living room serves as both a library and a TV room

🎱 The dining room is used more often for playing pool than for hosting formal gatherings

Great job to the team who worked on this beautiful space 👏

Skylight surprise! When we added a new third flo Skylight surprise! 

When we added a new third floor to this San Francisco home, the clients had a clear request: make sure we have natural light. So we got creative — we added skylights above the staircase and designed a glass hallway in the primary suite. Now, natural light flows freely from the top floor into the core of the home.

"By strategically incorporating portions of the porches and reducing the size of the garage, Lum was able to add about 700 square feet of space and reprogram the first floor, which now features a breakfast nook in the enlarged and reconfigured kitchen… and a mudroom at the entrance to the house…”
