Point Loma 60’s Ranch Revival
THE PROJECT, LOCATED IN THE LA PLAYA NEIGHBORHOOD OF POINT LOMA CONSISTS OF A WHOLE HOUSE REMODEL AND ADDITION TO A SINGLE LEVEL RANCH HOME AND GUEST HOUSE.
THE HOME, BUILT IN THE 60’S WAS IN ITS ORIGINAL CONDITION BUT WAS LOOKING VERY DATED AND DID NOT MEET THE NEW OWNERS REQUIREMENTS. A ONE BEDROOM GUEST HOUSE DESIGNED IN A “POST MODERN”STYLE HAD BEEN ADDED AT SOME POINT IN TIME ALONG WITH A POOL.
THE NEW ADDITION ADDED APROX 700 SQ FT TO THE LIVING SPACE BRINGING ITS TOTAL TO AROUND 3,000 SQ.FT. THE GARAGE WAS ENLARGED TO HOUSE 3 AUTOS PLUS ADDITONAL STORAGE.
A LONG STEEP DRIVE LEADS UP TO A LARGE LEVEL PORTION OF THE LOT FROM WHICH COMMANDS A MAGNIFICENT VIEW OF THE SAN DIEGO BAY AND DOWNTOWN.
THE HOME REMODEL PRESERVED MUCH OF THE ORIGINAL ROOF STRUCTURE BUT OPENED UP THE HOUSE TO BOTH THE VIEW AND TO THE POOL AND GUEST HOUSE COURTYARD.
THE INTERIOR PLAN WAS ALSO OPENED UP TO COMBINE LIVING, DINING AND KITCHEN FUNCTIONS. A FIREPLACE / TV BOOK CASE FEATURE LOCATED AT THE CENTER OF THE GREAT ROOM SERVES TO ANCHOR THE DESIGN WHILE ALSO SUPPORTING THE MASSIVE ROOF STRUCTURE.
WALLS OF FLEETWOOD SLIDING DOORS OPEN THE HOUSE UP TO VIEW ON ONE SIDE AND THE POOL AND GARDENS ON THE OTHER . THE POOL UNDERWENT A MAJOR FACE LIFT AND PATIOS AND DECKS WERE RECONFIGURED AND FINISHED IN MATERIALS TO COMPLIMENT THE NEW INTERIOR FINISHES. A SAIL LIKE AWNING WAS INTRODUCED TO PROVIDE SHADE AND PRIVACY FROM THE ADJACENT HOUSE ABOVE.
THE HOME’S UPDATE RESETS THE RANCH STYLE , PLAYS UP THE ROOF STRUCTURE AND ADDS A SUBTLE CONTEMPORARY ASIAN TOUCHE.
THE HOME ALSO INCORPORATES NEW ELECTRICAL, LIGHTING, MECHANICAL AND PLUMBING SYSTEMS. A NEW PHOTOVOLTAIC SOLAR SYSTEM HELPS PROVIDE ELECTRICITY FOR THE HOME WHILE ADDITIONAL SOLAR HELPS KEEP THE POOL AT A COMFORTABLE 87 DEGREES.
NEW DROUGHT TOLERANT LANDSCAPING AND A DRIP IRRIGATION SYSTEM KEEPS MAINTANANCE TO A MINIMUM AND WORKS WELL WITH THE HOMEOWNERS BUSY TRAVEL ADVENTURES.
THE COMPLETED HOME PROVIDES A VAST BUT PRIVATE PANORAMIC VIEWPOINT FROM WHICH TO WATCH ALL THAT HAPPENS ON THE BAY.
