Project Overview

Nestled in the rolling hills of Wilder Orinda, the East Bay Cottage blends timeless cottage charm with modern sophistication. This 4,870 SF custom home was thoughtfully designed to embrace its natural surroundings, offering a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Warm, dark materials, pitched rooflines, and classic detailing create an inviting exterior, while expansive windows fill the interiors with natural light and frame picturesque hillside views.

Inside, open-concept spaces balance comfort and elegance, featuring a generous great room, chef’s kitchen, and intimate gathering areas ideal for family living and entertaining. Every detail reflects a commitment to craftsmanship and a design approach that celebrates both tradition and contemporary lifestyle. It’s a true reflection of SDG Architects’ belief that every home should be uniquely personal and perfectly suited to its setting.
