Kris spent over four years overseeing the renovation and expansion of the Swick family residence in Pasadena. After one earlier expansion, the property was disjointed and dull with a large expanse of undeveloped land. Kris worked closely with the client (his parents) to renovate and expand the home, optimizing the layout and unifying its aesthetic. He designed the architectural renovation and new construction, interior architecture, landscape architecture, furnishings, and decoration. He produced renderings and construction documents for the client and collaborating installers, contractors, and architects. He also managed a general construction crew of 4 – 6 skilled tradesmen day-to-day.
