Hillside Sanctuary in Homestead Valley

Perched in the hills of Homestead Valley, this 3,595 sq ft design-build remodel transformed a fragmented, multi-addition home into a unified, light-filled sanctuary. Spire Architecture led the project from initial concept through permitting and construction start, reworking the layout into a four-level residence that embraces the site’s slope, frames views of Mount Tamalpais, and blends refined interiors with the natural landscape.

The home includes four bedrooms, four bathrooms, two offices, and expansive indoor-outdoor living spaces. Key features include a sculptural quartzite kitchen island, vaulted ceilings, a stacked-stone fireplace, and a serene lower-level primary suite beneath heritage oaks. Tiered landscaping introduced a flat yard, garden beds, and a built-in fire pit—reinforcing the connection between indoor living and the land.

Behind the walls, the house was rebuilt from the studs with new Marvin windows, foam insulation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, tankless water heating, and comprehensive drainage systems. We organized and coordinated an extensive team of collaborators, bringing together architecture, interiors, kitchen design, and construction to navigate this complex transformation with clarity and care.
