1881 Napa, Napa Valley’s first wine history museum and tasting salon, is now open. Jean-Charles Boisset, proprietor of Boisset Collection, has created an homage to Napa Valley, with a tasting room that showcases wines from Napa Valley’s distinct sub-appellations, a museum where guests can explore Napa’s rich wine history, an extensive collection of historic wine relics from Europe and the United States and original artifacts from the Early California Wine Trade Archive. 1881 Napa is located in a historic Victorian home built in 1874 next to Oakville Grocery (founded in 1881) in Oakville, California, both of which were purchased by Boisset Collection at the beginning of the year.
This 91,050-square-foot project transformed a tired ‘90s tilt-up building into a modern and inspiring workplace. The goal was to take an office packed with a warren of cubicles and transform it into a high-performance, contemporary office building which would set a precedent for future campus renovations and help attract and retain Silicon Valley talent. Photovoltaic panels now power 100% of the office spaces, while new roofing, insulation, and a new building skin have vastly improved the building’s energy performance.
This is a residential project for a family of 6 in Calabasas, California. The owner wanted something special for his house. The project was just completed, several weeks ago in 2019.
The interior design process was focused on the great room, powder room, dining area, kitchen, living area, master bedroom and master bathroom, covering an area of around 3000 square feet. For quality purposes we used bath products and wooden tiles from the Porcelanosa Spanish brand.
Located in the heart of Noe Valley, this urban remodel’s original structure was plagued by a series of haphazard additions; creating a jumbled floor plan full of awkward, dark, and narrow spaces. The clients desired the incorporation of natural light, inspiring our design team to simplify the home’s plan. Orchestrating a clear flow and hierarchy of uncluttered spaces and fully excavating the basement to include a larger garage, storage and livable space, as well as greater accessibility to the home’s rear yard, allowed the homeowner’s to fully embrace the beauty of their home transformation.

Jerde – an architecture, design, and planning firm best known for its large-scale international developments – decided to put itself in the role of client when establishing its new office in Los Angeles. They called on Rapt’s expertise in interior workplace design and asked for help in finding and designing their new headquarters, facilitating the firm’s move from Venice Beach to the heart of downtown LA.
Now, in the old CalEdison building at the corner of Fifth Street and Grand Avenue, Jerde has firmly established itself in the fabric of the city – and arguably in greater California as well.
Noll & Tam is working closely with the City of Los Altos’ Project Task Force to design a new community center which integrates with the surrounding public facilities and meets the current and future needs of the multi-generational community. The 24,500-square-foot building includes a café, arts and crafts room, movement room, community room, senior room, teen room, kinder prep room, and offices, conference rooms, and a kitchen for staff. The design maximizes the available outdoor spaces with pedestrian pathways, multiple patios, a central courtyard, a bocce ball court, a basketball court, and a new nature play area.

By offering highly flexible spaces designed with durable materials, the new building will serve the community’s needs for many years to come.

After having designed the “Schwab” Residential Center with Steinberg in 1997, the Graduate School of Business New Residential Building “Highland Hall” joins the Stanford University complex in 2016.
The 14, 000 m2 building includes a maximum of 4 floors and provides 200 beds with service areas and spaces for diverse public activities.
Located in the Serra street, which besides crossing the campus serves as an academic corridor, “Highland Hall” is located at the East end, next to the “Schwab” Residential Center, which is connected through a Mall located at North of the new building and that in turn, will allow the building merge with the local urban landscape.

As one of the densest neighborhoods in the country, Los Angeles’ Koreatown is at the forefront of changing modes of contemporary urban living. LOHA’s design for Mariposa1038 plays with this burgeoning area’s density with a pure cube extruded to fit tight on its lot, and then formed to gesture back to the public street and surrounding context.
To blur the distinction between the public and private sphere, LOHA pushed the cube inward on each of its sides, creating curves that grant relief from the sidewalk and return portions of the ground plane to the public realm. Balconies and window frames project outward to recapture the space between the new geometry and the property edge. Due to the building's curves, LOHA offers each balcony a unique depth and view.
