Inspiration for a contemporary master bedroom remodel in Singapore with white walls

Shed - industrial shed idea in Orange County

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.

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.

Our clients purchased a property in a sought-after neighborhood adjacent to a golf course and with views of greenery and the mountains beyond. However, the floor plan from the 1970s was dark and consisted of many small rooms. We fully gutted the interior of the home, created a modest addition on the front, and reconfigured the garage access for better flow and more expansive interior spaces. Replacement and expanded windows bring light into the space, making it feel much larger, even without the cost of raising the existing ceiling. Indoor-outdoor living is achieved along the entire back side of the home, with covered and uncovered exterior spaces, a fire pit, and three large sliding doors. The interiors use simple high-contrast materials with touches of warm wood throughout, with custom details like wood screens creating unique and functional spaces.

Using Carrara marble in the design provided exceptional value in visual appeal and cost. The beautiful marble added a touch of elegance and sophistication to the space without breaking the budget. Additionally, including a mirrored, furniture-style vanity enhanced the overall depth and style of the small area. This choice created the illusion of more space and drew extra attention to the upgraded floor tile.

This bay side bathrooms elegance is a derivative of light grey cabinet and tile tones, light blue wall color, expresso vanity, and oil rubbed bronze plumbing fixtures. A linen cabinet wall was also incorporated for useful storage of additional toiletries. New porcelain tile to gives the look of marble at a fraction of the cost. We included lighting in every section of the bathroom including above the bathtub, above the toilet, and the unique pendants above the double marble vanity.

Wanting the front façade of this home to better reflect the grandeur of the home’s backside, the clients came to Castle hoping to have a new front Entryway Addition built. Most of the design details were inspired by the home’s existing California room (open air room which is a transition from the interior to the exterior) which spans out the backside, facing the lake front. These bits of inspiration include the vaulted ceiling, wood planked ceiling, cedar beams, exposed trusses, metal work, brick wall, and sconce light fixtures. To mitigate some costs the clients completed the drywall, painting, stonework, and flooring. Overall, the remodel achieved the goal of unifying the front façade with the grandeur already existing throughout the rest of the home.

This remodeled galley kitchen features a redesigned appliance layout that relocated the refrigerator away from the wall ovens, creating a more efficient workflow and adding a full-height pantry for additional storage. Gray shaker base cabinets, white upper cabinets, a handcrafted ceramic subway tile backsplash, and a natural stone breakfast bar create a timeless palette while the existing floor tile was preserved to reduce demolition and cost.
