Inside this modern Portola Valley dream home with absolutely stunning views

Jay Jeffers Studio is responsible for the interior design of this modern dream home in the town of Portola Valley, located on the San Francisco Peninsula on the eastern slope of the Santa Cruz Mountains, California. The homeowners contracted the designer to help with the interiors of their dream pad, which was in the final phases of construction.

The overall aesthetic was to be modern with clean lines, yet as a family with one young child, it also needed to play double-duty: grown-up cocktail parties, four-year-old birthday parties, movie night on the sofa, and the like. The furnishings are a mixture of both off-the-rack and one-of-a-kind artisan pieces, such as the showstopper coffee table in the living room by Stefan Bishop.

The design team also worked closely with the homeowners to help them establish an art collection that features emerging talent. Continue below to see more of this fabulous home tour…

I think I just watched an advertisement for interior design and modern artwork. Architectural design might have included the kitchen which happens to be the center of today’s homes. It is impossible to understand the flow of the house design from these very pretty pictures of fabrics. What a shame.
