JanGunn Interior Architecture and Design

Introduction: Design Philosophy Our design philosophy starts with listening. You know what you like, but how do you achieve your goal? We listen as you articulate your vision, whether in abstract or concrete terms. As we come to understand your lifestyle and your tastes, we become better equipped to translate your vision into reality, often with spectacular results beyond your expectations. We’re there at every phase of the project, helping you to realize your goals. This approach has led many customers to repeat the experience of involving us in their home and office projects. Specialties Our expertise is best used when executing your vision requires major remodeling. In one example, the client wanted no surface left untouched. In others, walls have been moved or disappeared, and rooms that were previously of low value have been translated into beautiful, cherished spaces. To achieve these marvels, we manage various contractors, subcontractors, furniture and cabinet makers, stonemasons, lighting analysts, and other types of construction crews with skills demonstrated to us on our many prior projects. In the interiors, we have extensive product knowledge and can lead you to a wide variety of products that match your taste. We’re also experts in kitchen and bath remodeling, as well as lighting design. Firm Profile We have led projects in places as diverse as both coasts of the US, Aspen, Guam, and Cairo over the last 30 years. Locally, we’ve completed projects as far north in the Bay Area as Sea Ranch and as far south as Los Altos. Our office is located in Orinda; we have done many projects in the Lamorinda area. Our repeat client base includes Fortune 500 CEOs, technology entrepreneurs, college presidents, and many others who appreciate the value and quality of our design and project management expertise. From traditional to cutting-edge contemporary design, we bring fresh ideas, a sense of adventure and a refined aesthetic to every project.
