Hacienda Circle, Orinda
Residential, Remodel, Reconfiguration
A massive central fireplace divided this five-bedroom, four-bath mid-century Orinda ranch into a warren of bedrooms and dark, narrow halls. Warrens are great for rabbits, but for the family at Hacienda Circle, we removed the fireplace and reconfigured bedrooms to create a bright, sweeping interior, featuring a central lounge that welcomes gatherings both large and small. False beams over the kitchen unify the new space with the original design. A barn door separates the playroom from the entertainment area to keep common areas clear. Clean, beautiful spaces for dining, bed and bath give everyone a place of their own.
