We are humbled to once again be featured in Elle Decor, in article, “TOP DESIGNERS REVEAL HOW TO CREATE THE MOST SERENE HOME EVER.”

From the article: “Nature is known to have a calming effect on mood—and although we spend much of our lives indoors, exterior environments still affect our experience of being, and feeling, at home. For the project pictured above, Dawn Carlson and Carol Perry of MAS Design found that the design didn’t require much to imbue it with a sense of space. Rather, they had to step back, and avoid cluttering the home with unnecessary objects that felt designed, rather than natural to their setting: “we think it was successful because it simply paid homage to the environment surrounding it,” Carlson says. “Nothing should compete with one’s connection to nature in a home like this.”

Nature is always the best designer. 🍃 Many thanks to Elle Decor for the feature!

Really exciting news! Today, we’re moving the MAS office from Berkeley to Marin County! Dawn will moving to Tiburon (in part to be closer to design partner Carol), and of course the business is coming across the bridge with us. We’re very excited about the change, proximity upgrade, and about our beautiful new office in the trees and near the ocean! The new office will actually have us closer to most of our San Francisco and Marin County clients, and everyone else is just a quick drive away as well, so it will not affect our service areas.

The office will be closed 6/28, 7/1 and 7/2.

Our new contact information is on the website.

See you in the North Bay!

Thank you, Elle Decor, for showcasing our powder room design in your fun feature titled, “40 Powder Rooms That Make a Bold Statement”! What an honor to be showcased in one of our all-time favorite design magazines.
