1950's mid-century modern beach house built by architect Richard Leitch in Carpinteria, California. Leitch built two one-story adjacent homes on the property which made for the perfect space to share seaside with family. In 2016, Emily restored the homes with a goal of melding past and present. Emily kept the beloved simple mid-century atmosphere while enhancing it with interiors that were beachy and fun yet durable and practical. The project also required complete re-landscaping by adding a variety of beautiful grasses and drought tolerant plants, extensive decking, fire pits, and repaving the driveway with cement and brick.

A simple, private retreat for the new parents. Pairing low furniture with the low ceiling makes everything feel like it's the right scale. And, with a new walk-in closet, clutter in the bedroom is reduced to a minimum. Photography by Spacecrafting

Adding an egress window to this lower level bedroom satisfies the building code and allows more natural light into the space. A total win-win. Photography by Spacecrafting

The clients asked our firm to redesign, and help them to rebuild their 1950’s home in historic Riverside flooded by hurricane Florence. By removing the wall and the old fireplace that separated the kitchen from the living room, we created a more functional, open and well-lit space. Today the couple has moved back to their cozy, bright and updated home, and enjoying their comfortable and beautiful spaces.

Lovely 1950's ranch in old Ortega on the river in Jacksonville. The homeowners opened up the wall to add an island and bring in more light. Walls were taken down from the old laundry and dining rooms to bring in the light from the windows. The laundry was cleverly relocated behind sliding doors. The sink in the island with pendants lights and stools opens this kitchen to the family living areas. Beautifully done update.

A top priority for this renovation was to make the home more bright and open. By painting the ceiling color down onto the walls and keeping the paint colors light even a modest home can seem spacious. Photography by Spacecrafting
