Living Between Redwoods and the Bay

Marin County has a rare design DNA—where architecture is shaped by landscape as much as lifestyle. From hillside light and foggy mornings to redwoods and bayfront views, homes here often prioritize privacy, calm, and indoor–outdoor flow. The most compelling Marin interiors feel collected, not decorated: warm modernism, honest materials, and quiet craftsmanship that lets the setting lead.

That balance—natural and refined—is what makes Marin so distinctive. The best spaces here use restraint as a luxury: layered neutrals, tactile texture, beautifully considered proportion, and just enough contrast to feel artful without ever feeling overdone.

Sabra’s Insights : Marin County

Marin is the place I call home, and I am always inspired by how people live here close to nature, close to art, and rooted in a quieter kind of beauty. I start by listening to the home and the site, how the light moves, where the views want to be framed, and what the architecture is already asking for, then shape an interior that feels serene and intentional, grounded in materials that age beautifully and details that feel quietly excellent.
