Inside the Bay:

In architectural terms, a bay is the space between two elements. It's a recess, a nook, a little compartment within. This blog is our bay. It's our little space nestled between the spontaneity of our human nature and the necessity of order in exceptional design.

We invite you to step back into the Bay at DM+A often, to keep tabs on us and learn how and why we do what we do, all the while working hard, having fun, and being nice.

hillstone w grey kale salad Three is my lucky number since the 3^rd grade : ) So it makes sense that I feel turning 33 will be a good year for me. For this birthday lunch, I wanted to go to Hillstone Restaurant. Many of you may also know it by its former name of Houston’s. It is a classy and respected eatery along the Embarcadero in San Francisco. I especially love coming here to have their Kale salad. It has a roasted peanut vinaigrette, which is to die for! I was so obsessed for this dish, that I scoured the internet and found someone who attempted to recreate it. The recipe is pretty good, but I always feel it isn't perfect yet. So coming back I get to determine what I am missing. Go ahead and give both a try. I'll finish with a Happy 33 to Me!
