reclaimed modern organic in the santa cruz mountains, ca
Over the last several years I have worked on just about every room in this home nestled among the redwoods. It’s always nice when clients become friends. That level of connection definitely helps with regards to understanding client goals, aesthetics, priorities and the like. This project was ongoing as we chipped away at each level until the whole house felt complete, thoughtfully designed and representative of the people inhabiting the spaces.
“We did a few remodels in phases and asked Alexis to be our designer for all of them. She has a great eye and helped us find a timeless vibe that made it easy to tie into the newer phases. From interior furnishings to paint and appliances, Alexis knows how to pull everything together and create a space you will love. When the interior was finished, she was instrumental in working with the architect to work on the exterior to create a new entry and multiple resort-like living spaces that gives the home a floating tree house look. Alexis is organized and has worked well with every contractor on the job; advocating for us when pieces of the job were not done the way we envisioned, managing timelines, and pivoting to present new materials to us when there was a supply chain disruption. Alexis is not only capable of the big jobs but we have called on her for smaller projects like redesigning our daughter’s bedrooms to reflect their more grown-up selves. She is a good listener and created a space for both girls that represents their personalities and preferences. Alexis is fair, efficient, professional, and extremely talented in making spaces beautiful and approachable.”
