Old world details meet modern luxury in a French-inspired farmhouse in Woodside.
There is a house on a hill where time seems to stand still despite its proximity to fast-paced Silicon Valley. Designed for a young family of four, the 5,000 square-foot home features the best of both worlds—quite literally.

Interior Design Artelier Artisanal Bakery
This project was a bit challenging because we had to change the current image of the space and turn it into a very bright one, with a Parisian flow. We decided to choose pastel colors such as pink and gray for the background, filled with complementary gold and blue details.
