This major addition involved renovating almost every part of the house, which
was featured in Sunset Magazine. One major objective of the client was to
have more room for casual entertaining. First, we opened up the space and added
a dining room and family room so that the kitchen, dining room, family room
and living room all flow and work well together. Each part of the house was
completely renovated using a variety of materials that are contemporary and
natural, including exposed steel columns in the family room, sycamore cabinets
in the kitchen and living room, floating glass shelves and "slatescape" countertops.

The master bedroom was more remotely located in the upper floor two-story addition.
Wrap-around windows on three sides create a treehouse effect focusing on the landscape
that surrounds the house.

|
We took advantage of each and every space - in and around the library, closets,
stairs, media cabinet and art display niches, including the unique tansu-type
step unit under the stairs and built-in media center that was featured in
Sunset Magazine.
