What a nice surprise to see one of our Tiburon projects on the cover (again!) of Modern Luxury Interiors! We are endlessly grateful to the amazing artists, curators, contractors, and collaborators who made this artist-focused project come to life. We can’t begin to thank you all, but we hope you feel the pride we do about this special project. We are all Cover Girls and Boys!

Marin Magazine has awarded MAS Best Interior Designer in Marin County 2024! We are super grateful to our awesome peeps for making this award happen again this year. Know that we see you! We are grateful for your voting and for helping us reach this milestone again this year.

We are happiest when designing tasteful designs that are – what’s that? NOT boring?! It’s a tough balance, but it’s our sweet spot, so we are honored that you see and support us!

After a record-breaking call for votes, 12,785 Marin Magazine readers picked their favorite businesses for Best of the County. The list has 104 categories, including over 800 local businesses, and all deemed Marin Magazine’s 2024 Best of the County. MAS Design is a 2023 and now 2024 Best of the County Readers’ Choice Winner! That means that we earned the most votes in our category, Best Interior Design, and we want to celebrate that, celebrate all of the awesome nominees and winners, and especially celebrate our supporters for getting us here.

…and Marin Magazine sure knows how to throw a party to celebrate! What a night! Beats, rooftop sunset views, libations, smiles, and even sustainable caviar shots were enjoyed, as we also enjoyed the company of 300 or so nominees and winners from the best of Marin in all the categories.

Where do we go from here? Stay tuned for some fun projects we are working on as we create unique spaces that reflect our clients’ personalities.

Thank you, always, for your support! We heart you.

Do you know anyone who would like some “high design, low blah” in their space? Send them our way; we’re here to help create something special!

Go “blahless”,
Dawn and Carol

Thank you to our amazing clients for submitting your thoughtful reviews that won us the Best of Houzz again last year! Creating beauty with you is what makes what we do so meaningful. We’re thrilled to have won our tenth “Best of Houzz” award on Houzz – the leading platform for home remodeling and design.

Best of Houzz is an exclusive program which recognizes 3% of the more than 2.7 million home and interior professionals on the Houzz platform. We’re honored to be in such good company!

It feels especially meaningful in our 10th year of business together to receive yet another Best of Houzz award for Customer Service. Our goal is to not only create works of sanctuary and inspiration but also to create a positive, stress-free and fun experience for our clients. And we’ll certainly throw in a laugh or two! Bring it, 2024!

Our challenge was to transform a basic white, 80’s inspired Tiburon home to a grounded, intentional, artful, and curated sanctuary – tailored to the warmth and uniqueness of our young and worldly clients. (All without competing with their breathtaking Bay views!) We believe in the power of serene spaces that quietly captivate through soulful texture, sculptural form, and impeccable (sometimes highly imperfect) craftsmanship.

Our focus for this project was on the makers and the unique materials of our overall composition. We celebrate both age-old “primitive” and ancestral techniques alongside cutting-edge technological and artistic innovations. It’s a delicate balance between raw and refined,
where every element – whether sourced locally or around the world – is carefully chosen to evoke thoughtfulness, elegance, and meaning.

As our clients stroll the halls, the Caroline Lizarraga “smoke” mural symbolizes the fiery spirit of creators – a reminder that creativity and authenticity unites us. Our ultimate goal was to craft a space that feels effortless yet exudes elegance. The materials used reflect not
only the passion of the maker but also the soulful glamour of our clients and their travels.

We hope you enjoy it.
