This project encompassed the complete exterior and interior renovation of a house that is located on a bay with a view of the Pacific Ocean.

Project Team: COE Architecture International, J & R Construction, LB Muller Design

Exterior Before/After

The existing house looked like Darth Vader’s helmet—dark and foreboding. The redesign saved it from the “Dark Side”, bringing it into the light.

Living Room Before/After

The original 3,840-square-foot, 1992 house failed to take advantage of its spectacular waterfront setting. In the new design, all of the major interior spaces were reorganized so that each would have commanding water views and allow for easy entertaining. The exterior wall of the living room was completely removed and replaced with accordion glass doors, allowing the interior to flow to the new deck.

Kitchen Before/After

On the first floor, the kitchen was relocated to serve as the communal centerpiece of the house.
