Designer Claudia Juestel, a longtime collaborator of the couple’s, was the natural choice to create a collection of buildings whose styles range from contemporary to rustic, and she was joined by architectural designer George Bevan, landscape architect Todd Cole and the late builder Steve Richins. The main house sits on a small knoll, a spot the owners identified as the ideal location. “We talked about another site,” Juestel recalls. “But they ultimately chose this one for the views of the lake and the hilltop that would allow for the breeze to blow through the residence.”

The entry of the home by designer Claudia Juestel and architect George Bevan is lined with sho sugi ban cypress wood and outfitted with minimalist Sun Valley Bronze hardware, allowing the eye to travel to the light and airy great room beyond.

At the end of the room, Juestel worked with EcoDomoto to create a barn door made with recycled leather belts that reveals a bar when slid to one side. The barn-door hardware is by Sun Valley Bronze.

Two architects with extensive knowledge of fire-resistant building practices share their expertise and their hopes for rebuilding communities that are stronger, safer, and more resilient than before.

… For the interior, Abernethy chose a limited material palette of polished concrete floors, oak cabinetry, and glass. “Everything inside of the metal cocoon is made of noncombustible materials,” she says. “Even if it was smoke-tainted, it would not require much effort to repair and restore it.”

It was important to Lynette, an interior designer herself, and her husband Mark, owner of Island Engineering, that the home’s original materials and innate character shine through … “[DISC Interiors] blended the new materials in seamlessly. Nothing was designed or purchased based on trends, everything was thoughtfully sourced to bring out the home’s original beauty,” shares Lynette. “What a privilege and pleasure it has been working with with both Krista and David on this very personal journey.”

In the Business of Home series What I Love, we’re asking designers to build us a mood board of what’s inspiring them right now.

Tim Pfeiffer loves the West Coast. Having just returned from a dayslong road trip along the California coastline, the co-founder of the Seattle-based firm Hoedemaker Pfeiffer is feeling especially inspired by the vistas. “From the redwood forests to the ocean beaches and sandy deserts, there’s a rugged enchantment to the scenery.” … Pfeiffer conjures the vibrant colors of the coastal environment. “Natural elements weave together in earthy richness,” he says of the palette. — Business of Home

The best of both worlds — Chicago style with Park City Inspiration. O’Brien Harris reimagines a Hinsdale kitchen with a stunning Park City-inspired aesthetic.

“After moving into their charming single-family home in Hinsdale, Chicago, they charged Laura O’Brien of O’Brien Harris with designing a kitchen that seamlessly integrates practicality with style. Inspired by their love for the elegant mountain vibe of Park City, UT, they envisioned a space that blends the best of both worlds—combining the open, functional space they need with the sophisticated mountain style they adore.”

Sun Valley Bronze cabinet pulls. (Image credit: Bess Friday)

Welcome to the Decorator's Address Book. H&G's monthly round-up of our favorite designer's best spots to shop, browse, and be inspired. This month the focus is on kitchen hardware – the jewelry of the kitchen, a small element that can make all the difference. Plus, what we love about hardware is even if you aren't doing a full remodel, changing it up can refresh your kitchen in an instant. Switching the color, shape or material can totally transform the look of your kitchen cabinets without the need to spend a lot of time, effort, or money. 

THE PICK: Sun Valley Bronze Hardware

'For our recent contemporary Los Altos Hills, CA project the perfect solution was integrated cabinet pulls from Sun Valley Bronze. Located in Sun Valley Idaho, SVB makes solid, sand casted bronze hardware in a wide spectrum of luxury finishes. Along with the cabinet pulls, one of my favorite features in this kitchen is a custom-sized 3-bracket towel rail at the sink in a matching bronze finish.' — Melinda Mandell founder of Melinda Mandell Interior Design, based in San Francisco

2022 Best Kitchen $75,000–$150,000 – SILVER
Lori Kurnitsky, Bluebell Kitchens // Jon Levitties, JAGR Designs // Photography by Christian Garibaldi

“In taking on this 130-sq.-ft. kitchen in Provincetown, MA, Lori Kurnitsky was faced with a number of challenges. The goal was to create an efficient and cozy space that still feels open and connected to the rest of the home, but with its location close to the main entry of the house, as well as the living room, creating that space proved difficult. The scope of the project also included creating an unfitted furniture cottage style feel to the built-in kitchen cabinetry that blends cohesively with the rest of the home.

Setting the stage for the kitchen were kitchen cabinets that tied into the built-ins in the living area to create a seamless flow. Butternut Flat Cut cabinetry from Premier Custom Cabinetry in Elephants Milk Paint finish look like they were always part of the home. The cabinets are paired with Round Foot cabinet pulls in a burnished silicon bronze from Sun Valley Bronze as well as Borroca Soapstone countertops, backsplash and integrated mitered sink” — Kitchen & Bath Design News

Get a feel for the beauty, character and the inherent variations in our bronze and brass finishes.

The oxidation process that Sun Valley Bronze uses to create patinas is an accelerated version of natural exposure to time, touch, and environment. Repeated handling will lead to graceful wear of the patina. As with any hand-applied patina finish, color variations should be expected, lending character and distinction to elegant design.

Caymus-Suisun Winery featured in Wallpaper Magazine. Hardware by Sun Valley Bronze. Photography // Yoshihiro Makino

“California wine country may be best known for the Napa and Sonoma valleys, but in Suisun Valley, which is nestled between two mountain ranges just south-east of Napa, a diverse wine and farming community has been thriving for generations. As rustic and sleepy as this all sounds, a newly erected winery, designed by the architecture firm Bohlin Cywinski Jackson (BCJ), signals the region’s dynamic future … BCJ’s goal was to create an immersive, multisensory experience during tasting visits. Glass walls and operable transom windows allow the tasting pavilion to be exposed to the outdoors; glass sliders that open 30ft wide on either side of the central tasting room invite the afternoon breeze that funnels north from the San Francisco Bay (a Suisun hallmark) to flow through the building; and a pyramidal oculus overhead draws daylight into the space.”

For this project, Sun Valley Bronze provided custom 4' and 6' grip handles, as well as cabinet and door hardware (RP-925 // L-169R Levers).

We are excited to announce that Caymus-Suisun Winery was recognized with an Honor Award from the American Institute of Architects, San Francisco Chapter at the 2023 Design Awards Ceremony at the Herbst Theatre on May 4th.

The project was praised for the ways it engages with the landscape and the creation of a vibrant, immersive new guest experience in an emerging wine region.

This year, Sun Valley Bronze is celebrating 30 years of casting and craftsmanship. 

Since our humble beginnings in 1992, we have been deeply committed to creating the finest handmade bronze hardware on the market.  Throughout the years, we have held innovation, sustainability, honest customer service and timeless design as the core values of our business. 

Today, Sun Valley Bronze is still family owned and operated.  Our founder, Bob Commons, continues to operate a lathe in our machine shop alongside an outstanding team of machinists.  Debbie Commons, our CEO, runs the business with the support of an excellent administrative group.  From our dedicated sales team to our foundry technicians, our patina artists to our engineers, Sun Valley Bronze has grown into a special place full of action, capability, problem solving and creativity.   Our facilities have expanded from a small garage to a state-of-the-art manufacturing campus.  This year we are building a new foundry and an additional machine shop to support increased demand for our products across the globe. 

It has been quite a journey so far… and we couldn’t have done any of this without our incredible clients and our supportive community.  Thank you.  We are looking forward to what the future holds, and we are excited about the possibilities ahead. 

It’s not that Brian and Jessie De Lowe don’t like sidling up to a romantic natural wine bar or trying a tasting-menu spot on date night. It’s just that when your home provides one of the most stylish bars in town and there’s always a guaranteed seat with your name on it, why travel?

“We like to joke that our favorite place to go on a date is our own house,” says Brian, cofounder and president of Proper Hospitality. He’s only partly joking. Continue reading →

Mountain Living Magazine // It seems like we’ve all been spending more and more time in our living spaces, and the products and pieces that make up our environment are becoming increasingly important. Whether you are choosing building materials or furnishings, selecting well-made, quality products is more important than ever because as we all know, with added time comes added use and wear.  

Hardware is no exception. Hardware is one of the unique components of our homes that we interact with every day. It is what we touch and use regularly and frequently in our living spaces. We engage with door hardware to pass through doors. Cabinet knobs and pulls open and close our cabinets. And sash locks and multipoint systems operate our windows.

While hardware may not take up as much visual space as larger parts of our homes such as furniture and art, it makes an impact, whether it is small and sleek, or designed to draw attention to the installation.

When asked about his background in metalwork, Bob Commons, founder and owner of Sun Valley Bronze, simply shrugged and said, “I had eighth-grade metal shop.”

A. Lawrence Smart, Luthier, builds a limited number of mandolin family instruments. His goal is always to build the finest custom instrument to meet each player's discriminating needs. He enjoys providing musicians with instruments they can own and play with as much pride as he took when he built it.

All instruments are carefully crafted with the finest materials available. The building process begins with the selection and harvest of Engelmann spruce in the forests surrounding McCall, Idaho, and continues with uncompromised craftsmanship and attention to detail. These custom instruments sound and feel as good as they look, and great care is given in every step - from design, to matching of woods, to finish and set-up.
