Lauren Geremia, the founder and principal designer of Geremia Design, together with architecture firm Olson Kundig, has completed the False Bay House and Writer’s Cabin.

Their client, an active executive, who loves hiking, kayaking, and crabbing, and is an avid host and cook, wanted a home that was comfortable for entertaining and a showcase for his growing art collection.

Olson Kundig’s architecture and warm palette set the tone for the interior of the home.

The steel front door pivots to reveal a tall hallway that leads to the social areas of the home.
