In a wooded area of Lafayette, a mid-century home was re-imagined for a graphic designer and kindergarten teacher couple and their three children. A major new design feature is a high ceiling great room that wraps from the front to the back yard, turning a corner at the kitchen and ending at the family room fireplace. This room was designed with a high flat roof to work in conjunction with existing roof forms to create a unified whole, and raise interior ceiling heights from eight to over ten feet. All new lighting and large floor to ceiling Fleetwood aluminum windows expand views of the trees beyond. The existing home was enlarged by 700 square feet with a small exterior addition enlarging the kitchen over an existing deck, and a larger amount by excavating out crawlspace at the garage level to create a new home office with full bath, and separate laundry utility room. The remodeled residence became 3,847 square feet in total area including the garage. Exterior curb appeal was improved with all new Fleetwood windows, stained wood siding and stucco. New steel railing and concrete steps lead up to the front entry. Front and rear yard new landscape design by Huettl Landscape Architecture dramatically alters the site. New planting was added at the front yard with landscape lighting and modern concrete pavers and the rear yard has multiple decks for family gatherings with the focal point a concrete conversation circle with central fire feature. Everything revolves around the corner kitchen, large windows to the backyard, quartz countertops and cabinetry in painted and walnut finishes. The homeowners enjoyed the process of selecting Heath Tile for the kitchen backsplash and white oval tiles at the family room fireplace. Black brick tiles by Fireclay were used on the living room hearth. The kitchen flows into the family room all with views to the beautifully landscaped yards. The primary suite has a built-in window seat with large windows overlooking the garden, walnut cabinetry in a skylit walk-in closet, and a large dramatic skylight bouncing light into the shower. The kid’s bath also has a skylight slot with light angling downward over double sinks. More colorful tile shows up in these spaces, as does a geometric patterned tile in the downstairs office bath shower. The large yard is taken full advantage of with concrete paved walkways, stairs and firepit circle. New retaining walls in the rear yard helped to add more level usable outdoor space, with wood slats to visually blend them into the overall design. The end result is a beautiful transformation of a mid-century home, that both captures the client’s personalities and elevates the house into the modern age.

Designed by Susan Crasco of Reico Kitchen & Bath in Fredericksburg, VA in collaboration with Good Bees Remodeling and Dwell Design, this small modern style natural luxe kitchen remodel features Merillat Classic cabinets in the Tolani door style in two finishes. The perimeter kitchen cabinets feature a Cotton finish, thoughtfully contrasted by island cabinets in the Shale finish. The kitchen countertops are Cambria in the color Britannica. The tile backsplash, provided by Marble Systems, is Tayla Decorative Marble in Glacier, Allure Light Multi Finish Yildiz Marble Waterjet Decos 8 13/16” x 11 3/8”. “The client knew what they wanted when they came in so it was pretty easy to choose a style and finish,” said Susan. “We worked the design and after the cabinets came in, the client revealed that they wanted a deeper island so we tweaked the design. Everyone came together on the project to create a kitchen that is absolutely beautiful. The client loves it!” Photos courtesy of Tim Snyder Photography.
