This project was a complete alteration to a 1980's contractor-designed
home. The clients first approached us for a small remodeling project.
The master bathroom was the first area to be updated. The master suite
is separated from the rest of the living space by a custom barn door
that doubles as an illuminated wall accent.

Once the project got under way, the clients became increasingly excited
about their home's possibilities. The two and a half story high living
room was formally cold and mostly unused. Now an array of hanging glass
orbs twinkle like fireflies in the upper portion. Below, a lush, relaxed
environment was created with the use of natural materials including
sustainably harvested exotic woods wall panels and Venetian plaster.
A built-in bench for relaxing anchors one end of the asymmetrical stone
fireplace hearth while the opposite end cantilevers towards the main
stairs. Daylight from multiple directions, Bay vistas and glimpses of
the highlighted barn door upstairs add to the spatial drama.

The new facade is simple and at the same time strong. Cedar siding
is used to emphasize the main portion and entry while the rest of
the house is clad in stucco. Near the front door, a welcoming bench
extends to provide a spot to relax in the sunshine.
