When we first met the homeowners of this stunning Pleasanton residence, they told us they wanted something extraordinary—a space that felt open, luminous, and worthy of their collection. They had spent weeks researching glass wine cellar ideas, and when they shared their inspiration with us, we knew exactly what they were after: elegance with intention, modern lines balanced by warmth.
As a design-build firm, we see every new project as a creative dialogue. This one began in what used to be a dining room—an unused space they wanted to transform into something both functional and emotionally striking. From the start, it was clear that the key to success would lie in how we used light, transparency, and materials to tell one cohesive story.
