Sunshine in Switzerland
The fairy tale begins in the mountains of Alpine, a city named after Switzerland, with unexpected landscaping nestled up against the Cleveland National Forest.
Our clients, Julie Simper & James Mason, wanted their home to reflect their personal style & hired a team to remodel their 1970's home. Although our clients lived on opposite sides of the globe (Amsterdam) working with them was smooth thanks to technology, consistent communication & a few airplane rides.
The dark home transformed into a sunny modernized marvel. Walls that blocked forest views & closed off the kitchen were demolished, Solar Tubes, skylight's, enlarged windows & doors were installed to invite in sunshine making the home feel more spacious & the guest bath & kitchen were reinvented. With Alpine being a sleepy town far away from any major city & the increase of residential construction, affordable contractor choices were sparse. For budget, it was our client who implemented the plans, coordinated with all the subcontractors & built the project in phases!
As our Dutch client would say "Bienvenue à la maison", Welcome Home.
