Sean Key Design is a unique architectural practice specializing in custom residential design, residential renovations and small commercial design. Architecture is an incredibly personal and site specific design process. It's about designing a three dimensional space that reflects the client's particular personality and creates a calming escape from the hectic nature of modern life. Whether that space is traditional, transitional or modern in style, it should be well designed and proportionally fit into its environment and its inhabitant's lifestyle. Simply put, you should love the space you live and work in.

Oakland, California-based photographer Drew Kelly spent a day with Peter and Lynda Benoit shooting their home in nearby Emeryville. He was particularly impressed with the massive staircase-bookcase-bedroom that Peter built, because, like Peter, Kelly also worked as a carpenter for a while (though unlike Peter, he doesn't believe in using a measuring tape).

With a completely distinctive style that juxtaposes refinement with rawness and melds color, whimsy, sophistication and swank, multifaceted designer Kelly Wearstler has revolutionized the look, feel and meaning of modern American glamour. Wearstler's career took flight in 1999, when she infused Beverly Hills' Avalon Hotel with the unexpected, fearless aesthetic that has now become her signature. The bold, maximalist Midcentury design has been celebrated by critics and guests alike, and shepherded the current era in boutique hotel décor where dazzling, one-of-a-kind layouts are de rigueur. In addition to her commercial work, Wearstler continuously creates grand residential interiors for some of the most prominent players in the worlds of art, business and entertainment.
