Our busy Silicon Valley clients asked us to convert their tight-quartered 1960’s ranch house to a gracious family home that would meet their long term needs. Ease of living was paramount, both in functionality and in ordered design.
The project was completed on a moderate budget. While retaining most of the structure of the existing house to avoid costly structural changes, we opened walls to improve the sight lines and flow of the house and bring in more light. We made small additions at the front and back bedrooms to gain space for the family and relatives. An existing underused patio area was improved with a simple outdoor kitchen and overhang to extend the living space to the outside. Costs were kept down with choices of modest materials.
Everything was made to be functional. Ample storage has been built into the right places. The details of the kitchen were carefully worked out to accommodate all the wishes of the various cooks in the family. The house is set up to be easy to keep clean. Acoustic walls separate living from bedroom spaces so adults can enjoy time together while children sleep. The outdoor kitchen has easy access to the indoor kitchen and the garage, and its setup promotes socializing while cooking outdoors.
A large part of the narrow back yard was previously unusable space due to a steep slope up to a neighbor’s higher fence. With a new retaining wall and some re-grading we took back more of the yard for the patio and play space on a new lawn.
The remodeled house is a mix of contemporary and traditional elements. Cool colors have a calming effect. Traditional items such as prairie style windows, trellis, mosaic tiles, and Shaker style cabinets, break down the scale in an otherwise streamlined, contemporary design. A new gabled roof with a broad arch at the front of the house marks the entry and resolves a challenging form where the central entry is set back from walls on both sides.

Screen porch another angle and can see the underside of the living room window awning and exposed framing. Originally planned to have custom made black steel awning supports but went with the suggestion of my brother Ted and used ordinary galvanized pipe with special angle brackets and loved how it turned out. Plus didnt need additional cost of welding.

This whole-home renovation centered around creating a larger, more functional kitchen while maximizing the homeowner's budget. We expanded the kitchen into the former breakfast room, enlarged the opening between the spaces, removed a breakfast room window, and custom-built new cabinetry to seamlessly integrate the additional square footage. To reduce costs without sacrificing quality, we retained the existing refrigerator wall cabinetry and built matching custom cabinets around it, complete with new custom drawer systems, cabinet doors, crown molding, a refrigerator surround, updated hardware, and a Sherwin-Williams cabinet finish.
Beyond the kitchen, we installed new granite countertops, a custom tile backsplash, and new plank-style flooring throughout the home. In the living room, we removed dated wood paneling and installed new drywall to create a clean, modern appearance. Additional improvements included a full house repipe, new electrical work, a new pocket door between the kitchen and utility room, and numerous layout enhancements designed to improve the home's flow, function, and appearance. The result is a beautifully updated home with a spacious custom kitchen that delivers the look and functionality of a complete renovation while maintaining exceptional value

The project consists of a renovation and additions to the Saas Residence designed by Charles Zehnder in 1963. The house was built by Albert and Bob Rose for a cost of fourteen thousand dollars. The living room on the West side was modified and expanded in 1976.
When built, the main house was intended only for summer occupancy. It was uninsulated, had single glazed windows and no heating or ventilation systems. There was no laundry facility and had a small kitchen and bathrooms.
In order to ensure the building’s survival well into the future and provide modern amenities, a plan was developed to lift the original house and place it on a permanent concrete foundation. Once stabilized and preserved, the kitchen and master bedroom were extended slightly at each end. These new additions contain a mechanical room, laundry room, closet and Owners’ bath and allowed the enclosing envelope to meet the State energy code.
All proposed changes have been designed with sensitivity to and respect for the original architecture. The existing house was only 1670 square feet in area; the area of the final design is a modest 2204 square feet. The resulting building maintains the appearance from the road of a long modern shed-roofed rectangle. The new section replacing the later living room addition is at the rear of the house and offers expansive views of the South Truro landscape and Cape Cod Bay.

This is an older property, based on the Chattahoochee River; with the original kitchen being dark and bulky. The owners did thorough research and planning, and started the process from finding the best contractors to ordering their tiles from Italy… Our team was chosen from our glowing references as well as nearly two decades of experience in design and remodeling projects.
Andy worked closely with the owners to design this kitchen and to bring their dream kitchen to life. They wanted to have a completely new kitchen, that was not only aesthetically beautiful, but also highly functional. We moved walls to create additional space & needed to install a fresh air return system so that the vent would not create a vacuum in the house. The stove has a unique feature, with integrated gas burners installed in the granite top. Granite is durable, and easy to keep clean. The kitchen oozes storage; the custom-island has seating as well as front and back storage. We have also created additional space with custom cabinets built to store jackets, book-bags, and more.
Just see this amazing transformation for yourself!!

This once charming bungalow was typical of many of the homes that were built in the Berkeley/Oakland neighborhoods that date back to the ‘20s and ‘30s—small rooms, limited counter space and closets.
We removed and replaced 85% of the foundation and did a complete seismic upgrade. Structural engineers on the project, Frameworks Engineering, designed the new foundation and the framing for the home’s 220 sq.ft. addition. We transformed the dated bungalow into an energy-efficient, bright, modern home that recaptured its previous architectural interest. Because the owner was going to flip the house, he could have minimized his construction costs with inexpensive solutions. Instead, he chose enhancements that truly added value and made this home attractive to today’s energy-conscious buyers. We installed insulation, LED lighting and dual-pane windows throughout the home. The owner also chose quality appliances, marble countertops and refinished the hardwood floors. The addition of 220 sq.ft. helped make this traditional Berkeley bungalow more attractive to potential buyers; it was quickly snatched off the market for a very good price.
