Stinson Beach Hideaway

A dream collaboration produces a cozy home and serene landscape nestled amongst the dunes and Marin Hills of Stinson Beach.

The notorious enclave of Seadrift Community exemplifies all that is California and Bay Area. Tucked away from the hustle of San Francisco, our Stinson Beach project offered a peaceful landscape with panoramic views of both the Bolinas Ridge of Marin and the horizon of the Pacific Ocean. We were excited to work with Ian Moller, Tineke Triggs, and Woodworking West to build a comfy-cozy beach get-away for an active and fun family.

Working through and around the community restrictions and requirements, we carefully positioned the desired landscape site elements and functional spaces – of which included dual firepits, a Diamond Spa, ping pong, and a Stinson must-have, Canary Island Date Palm. We were thrilled to partner with amazing clients who shared a deep appreciation for their home and the ability to gather with family and close friends for relaxing and taking in all that beach life has to offer.

The strength of linear design is in the attention to detail. To complement the architecture of this stunning residence, landscape elements are carefully chosen and placed to ensure cohesion and a sense of stillness.

Outdoor play can be charming, too – surrounded by native beach grasses and plantings, this ping pong table set neatly into the sand provides the perfect nook for an afternoon of fun.

Capturing warmth on a foggy afternoon is made easy with this cozy gathering space. Sticking to neutral tones allows this landscape to emulate the tranquility of Stinson Beach.
