This is a gut remodel of a 1958 Eichler style home. The existing house had, and still has, extensive overhangs, which is good for shading the windows from summer sun, but the spaces were really dark and the goal was to renew and add light to the spaces. We did this by using skylights in key locations to add natural light and long linear uprights to make the house glow like a lantern at night. We used materials that gave a nod to the 1950s Mid Century Modern era, such as lots of plywood and concrete. We used lots of color throughout.
