Challenge:  to create a hedonistic retreat within the existing crawlspace of this hillside home, recalling the pleasures of their wide travels to day spas around the world.  The couple wanted a space both sensuous and inviting, with lavish and richly layered materials of gold mosaic and custom blended Sicis tiles, polished granite, sculpted porcelain and stone tile, rosewood and hand-carved bespoke wood doors, amongst other high-end finishes.  Calling upon the design-build expertise of the best contractors in the state, we anxiously await the end result of this private oasis in the hills.

Estimated Completion November 2011
