Landscape Design: Bay Area and Beyond

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

When the owners of a Sonoma County retreat decided to make it a full-time residence, designer Carmen René Smithand architect Andrew Mann stepped in to help make the move permanent.

Smith even executed a series of moves that strike emotional notes, including installing overhead lights in the game room arranged in the constellations of each family member’s astrological sign. “My philosophy is about creating spaces that feel deeply personal, restorative and alive with meaning,” Smith explains.

This outstanding project has landed the cover of the September/October issue of @luxemagazine, where architecture and interior design come together in perfect harmony. From architectural vision to the final interior designed spaces, every detail reflects the thoughtful collaboration behind this beautiful property. The result is a home that captures the color, pattern and personality Luxe is celebrating this season 🍂

We can’t wait to share the entire project with you.

I am beyond pleased to share that I am featured in the latest issue of world renowned publication, The Smithsonian Magazine (July/August 2025).

For those who don’t know, the Smithsonian Institution is a vast American network of museums and research centres. It includes 21 museums, the National Zoo, and has over 150 million artefacts in its collections. It’s often described as “the nation’s attic.” The Smithsonian Magazine is their flagship publication, with a monthly readership in the tens of millions across print and web, and a reputation for beautiful, intelligent features on history, science, art, and craft.

Drystone walling is still a male-dominated craft, there are very few women working in Drystone globally. However, this feature includes three of them: myself, Tara Whitcher based in England, and Christa Mone who is a landscape garden designer in California. To have our work and perspective recognised by a publication of this calibre feels both incredible and important.

Also featured are president of the Canadian Drystone Walling Association John Shaw Rimmington, Dan Peterson from Minnesota, and artist, designer and drystone waller, David F. Wilson, based in Scotland.

I was a joy to work on the piece with brilliant editorial photographer Christie Hemm-Klok, her assistant (and photographer in her own right) Jess Lynn Goss, and senior editor at The Smithsonian Magazine, Jennie Rothenberg Gritz. What can I say? I love working with women.

Tara and I were photographed together which was such a treat, because even though we’d been friends for years online, we had never met in person. It was a pretty big day in every sense!

A few months after the photos were taken, Jennie and I had an easy, interesting conversation over zoom, and I love the quotes she pulled for the article from our chat.

To see my work, and my voice, recognised in Smithsonian Magazine, and to take up space in a field where women are still few and far between, means more than I can say. I was a very proud mum showing my daughters this article.

Sunlit and serene, this kitchen in our Vineyard Villa project is a masterclass in balance. The wooden beams overhead not only frame the space but bring warmth and character to the bright, airy room ✨⁠

For a garden destination in a wine country home, the clients, a couple with young children, wanted to connect to the land through cooking and gardening. The structure is equal parts cooking and dining pavilion and potting shed. Designer Christa Mone works with the clients to update the production garden twice a year. We love the way the planting beds cascade down the hillside and contour with the land.
