The design of both luxury vacation cabins take advantage of the beautiful views of Swan Lake.

BRAWLEY, CALIFORNIA
THE BRAWLEY RESIDENCE
PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Brawley Residence project involved a complete renovation of this high-end private home situated in the Imperial Valley in Southern California. The unique use of bold and bright colors transformed this home into a refreshing santuary for its residents. New white-washed flooring, soffitted ceilings and botanical window treatments were installed throughout the home. Custom stenciling and personalized artwork were added as finishing touches to this traditional, Italian-inspired design.

DEL MAR, CALIFORNIA
THE GRAND DEL MAR RESORT ROYAL SUITE
PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Grand del Mar Resort is one of the most luxurious resorts and private clubs on the West Coast. This hotel was designed with inspiration from the Italian countryside with its tile hand-picked from the Verona slab yards and quarries. The Royal Suite was built on Grand del Mar property and serves as a private suite for guests and owners. The three bedroom suite features custom furniture, area rugs, window treatments and millwork. The stunning sundecks offer views of the Del Mar landscape. The Royal Suite embodies Warren Sheets Design’s unique take on traditional design and their daring use of color.

SANTA CRUZ, CA
THE REILLY RESIDENCE
PROJECT DESCRIPTION Sean and Michaela Reilly live in a 2,200 square foot home just outside of Santa Cruz, CA. They want to renovate their home to have an industrial chic vibe and to include more sustainable elements. They enjoy entertaining, but want their home to be comfortable enough for a growing family. Sean and Michaela want to keep the open nature of their house, but replace all of the finishes and furnishings. They want to their social spaces to take advantage of the stunning views of the nearby rolling forests. Their dream home also includes a nice master bedroom and master bath with a full walk-in closet. For this project, Sean and Michaela would like to re-design their living room, master bedroom and master bath. The design will include rustic finishes and light fixtures paired with antique furniture and various modern elements. Their budget of 40k will allow for quality and environmentally conscious finishes. Light fixtures, accessories and some furniture will be sourced from local flea markets and online market finds.

MFA THESIS
TREASURE ISLAND MARKETPLACE
PROJECT ABSTRACT My final thesis project involves the renovation of a historic airplane hangar situated on Treasure Island, San Francisco. Adaptive re-use being one of the significant components to sustainable design, I have transformed the 75 year-old airplane hangar into a public marketplace serving local residents and regional and international visitors. The marketplace includes retail spaces for local vendors, artists and farmers to sell crafts and produce, several bars and restaurants, a sailing center and a lobby showcasing the history of the island. Honoring the island’s rich and notable past, I have extended the island’s fascinating history to the project concept and design. My design concept signifies the industrial progression and trans-pacific travel that was occuring at the time this building was constructed. Utilizing sustainable principles and references from the building’s original time period, I have created a landmark of preservation, progress, and community. At the Treasure Island Marketplace, patrons will learn about the island’s history through the building’s design and be entertained by the multitude of local treasures residing throughout the building’s central nave.

SUSTAINABLE DESIGN COURSE
PALARCOS ECO RESORT
PROJECT ABSTRACT The Maya people have always been revered for their incredible knowledge of the earth, its resources and where it lies in the universe. The inspiration behind the design of the Palarcos Eco Resort comes from the architectural proficiency and cosmological understanding the Maya people themselves incorporated into their own design. Guests of the Palarcos Resort will experience what it might have been like to live in a Maya palace and witness the passing of seasons marked by the sunset. The interiors were inspired by the Spanish style seen throughout neighboring Antigua. The fusion of arch types visible throughout the resort represent the fusion of the Spanish culture with the Maya culture. Palarcos tells its guests to story of an ancient civilization through its very own buildings, gardens and santuaries.

PROJECT ABSTRACT This project involves the design of the Monticelli Residence in Marin County, California. The design is influenced by the Spanish Mediterranean Coast which is adored for its fresh turquoise waters, warm rocky beaches and fresh ceviche. For the Monticelli Residence, I used the masterpiece by Salvador Dali, Muchacha en la Ventana, as the central concept for my design, of which I pulled the contrast of warm and cool colors from the background and extended them to the project’s finishes and materials. The colors and pearlescent nature of the abalone shell aslo unfluenced my design, as experienced through the light iridescent window treatments and satin upholstered elements.

ARTIST BIO
Growing up in a small adobe home in rural New Mexico, I quickly learned that my opportunity for adventure was endless . The harsh droughts and frigid winters also reminded me each season how profoundly impactful our surrounding environment is on the human course and realized our role as designers. This has influenced my passion for design and encouraged me to pursue and complete my master’s degree in Interior Architecture & Design at the Academy of Art University. I have a great passion for all aspects of design and its role in connecting people with one another, their environments and communities. My background in Anthropology and passion for studying and discovering other cultures has influenced my desire to create spaces that respond to the people who live, work and play in them.
