A small 50’s ranch house became the centerpiece of a secluded Tuscan compound for well-traveled clients and art collectors.
The complete refurbishment included a new master bedroom and bath, kitchen, dining and living rooms, and built-in furniture throughout. A separate studio office featuring the same classic details— aged finishes and traditional ironwork, terracotta and travertine, mahogany built-in’s and beams— is linked by iconic landscapes of olives, cypress, fountains and terracotta terraces and patios.
Maintaining the original character of this 1925 stucco cottage while updating its landscape and gardens to allow for easy indoor/outdoor living was a priority for the owners of this property.
The interior reconfiguration and renovation featured high ceilings, custom windows and doors, a modern kitchen, an additional small bedroom and guest bath and an enlarged master bedroom. Landscape and hardscape additions created outdoor spaces that are enjoyed year-round.
A comprehensive remodel transformed a dark hillside contemporary in a dense residential neighborhood into an open, airy home for graphic design clients with a decidedly modern aesthetic.
Filling the rear exterior of the structure with windows and removing interior walls throughout opened the home to the sweeping bay views and metropolitan skyline that first attracted the clients to the property. A light-filled, entertainment-friendly living, dining and kitchen area and a serene master bedroom suite with custom Japanese soaking tub and built-ins aligned with their lifestyle and wishes.
Busy professionals with young children, the owners of this 1920’s traditional, two-story shingle home sought a comprehensive reconsideration of its layout.
The complete remodel that followed included an updated and upgraded kitchen with access to outdoor space, the integration of a detached building to create an informal living area, media room and adjacent utility room, and an expanded and upgraded master suite and office. Care was given to maintaining the original character and charm of the house and applying it throughout the new family home.
