“Thoughtfully crafted spaces, tailored to the people who live in them.”

Tiny Monster Design is a San Francisco-based architecture and interior design studio led by licensed architect Kevin Short. Founded in 2018, the practice is rooted in the belief that a home should reflect its inhabitants. Kevin specializes in contemporary residential projects, blending a “casual modern” style with the essential comfort of Californian living.

The studio gained significant recognition after Kevin’s personal Bernal Heights renovation, a five-year “labor of love” that transformed a 1908 Victorian into a light-filled sanctuary, was featured in Dwell. Whether it is a complete foundation overhaul or a surgical interior remodel, Kevin brings deep patience, technical expertise, and personal passion to every project.
