The ClientsHoward and Tracy Redding are a newly married couple in their early 30s, who live in a suburb of San Francisco. Howard works as a software developer in the tech industry while Tracy teaches yoga at a local studio a few blocks away. They recently moved to this area and are looking to update their kitchen and bathroom spaces to better reflect their styles. Howard prefers modern, clean lines while Tracy likes lots of texture, with earthy elements such as natural stone and wood. Since Howard works in the tech industry, he’s fascinated with all aspects of smart-home technology and is looking to incorporate it into both spaces, while Tracy is looking for a beautiful, functional design.
