Encino Modern
This kitchen remodel involved the demolition of several intervening rooms to create a large kitchen/family room that now connects directly to the backyard and the pool area. The new raised roof and clerestory help to bring light into the heart of the house and provides views to the surrounding treetops. The kitchen cabinets are by Italian manufacturer Scavolini. The floor is slate, the countertops are granite, and the ceiling is bamboo.

10. Add a Pop-Up. Avoid that overly horizontal, 8-foot-tall and boring ceiling plane. Like the top of a 1960s micro-bus camper, pop it up and install some clerestory windows to increase spaciousness and let the sunshine in.
