More Than Square Footage

A basement dig-out is undoubtedly a significant investment. It requires detailed planning and an experienced team. When approached thoughtfully, it offers something much greater than additional square footage. It changes the way a family lives. It creates places for children to grow, friends to gather, grandparents to stay and homeowners to age comfortably in the homes they already love. At Hanomoco Design, that's what excites us most. We don't see basements.

We see possibility.

We see homes with hidden potential waiting to be uncovered.And we believe that some of the most extraordinary transformations don't happen by building outward or upward—they happen beneath the surface.

As designers, there is no greater compliment than hearing that a home has become part of someone's story. This Piedmont Project reminds us that great design isn't measured by how a space photographs on the day it's finished, but by how deeply it resonates with the people who live there for years to come.

At Hanomoco Design, remodeling isn't just one of the services we offer—it's the foundation of our practice. For over a decade, we've helped homeowners throughout Piedmont, Berkeley, Oakland, and San Francisco transform existing houses into homes that better reflect how they live today.

At Hanomoco Design, our collaborative approach—combining technical expertise with creative vision—is what brings each space to life. Here’s how our partnership benefits every project.

Hanomoco Design celebrates 10 years in business with a strong legacy of high-impact design projects centered in Piedmont and the surrounding Bay Area.
