It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Samy Road Creative Hub by Lorna de Santos.

This home (originally designed in the 1960s by legendary local architect, Alex Riley) sits above Tomales Bay in California’s Marin County. Transformed by Commune Design the focus is on colour, pattern and handcrafted details. Limewashed walls, refinished wood panelling and painted trim bring warmth and texture, while bold patterns and vibrant hues add personality to every room. Bespoke furnishings and artisan-crafted pieces, including an ornamental glass tile fireplace and custom light fixtures, have been integrated seamlessly into the design. The result is a harmonious blend of West Marin charm and Scandinavian-inspired vibrancy, with layers of character and thoughtful details throughout.
