Located at a prominent corner on one of the few undeveloped residential sites left in Solana Beach, this project is important not only for the homeowner, but for the community as well. A rigorous site analysis laid the groundwork for a design response which took into account the homeowner’s program, input from the neighbors, and the scale of the project and the character of the neighborhood. The end result is a design that is well set into the existing grade, a move which preserves adjacent views and reduces the visual impact of the structure from the street; all while graciously meeting the desires of the owner.
The plan is broken into six unique floor plates. The bottom four of which tie together along the gradually sloping site. An intentionally long southern exposure implements the basics of passive solar design: large amounts of glass bring in abundant light and warmth in the winter, while deep overhangs protect from unwanted summer heat gain. Ocean views to the west are selectively framed throughout the house without compromising privacy from the busy street corner. Public functions within the house flow seamlessly between indoor and outdoor living spaces. JLC Architecture was responsible for a full architecture and interior package as well as exterior hardscape design.

In this kitchen remodel we relocated the powder room to the former laundy room in order to expand the size of the kitchen. The family loves to entertain and specifically requested a large island and beverage center to accomodate all their friends and family. The painted and wood tone cabinets were perfect compromise to keep both the husband and wife's happy. The professional Subzero Wolf appliances were the finishing touch on this perfect kitchen.

This main floor remodel in Lenexa, Kansas, was the third phase of a full-home transformation for our longtime clients. After previously renovating their basement and primary bathroom, they invited us back to reimagine the heart of their home with fresh perspective and elevated function.
The entryway was completely transformed from a builder-basic pass-through into a bright, welcoming focal point that sets the tone for the entire main floor. In the kitchen, we reworked the layout to improve flow and maximize storage, while introducing timeless finishes and thoughtful details that now carry throughout the home.
The family room was redesigned to feel warm, cohesive, and connected—complete with custom built-ins and a refreshed fireplace. We also converted the former laundry room into a fully functional prep kitchen, and redesigned the mudroom to meet the demands of daily life without compromising style.
This project reflects a balance of beauty, utility, and personal expression, with every space tailored to support how this family lives and gathers in their home.

My clients wanted a kitchen that reflected their more contemporary styles, but maintained the integrity of the more traditional red brick home. As you can see, the design compliments his midcentury likes without compromising her more transitional taste.

The mudroom may be the most unexpected delight in the entire house. It’s a moment of true creative expression—a space that welcomes utility but doesn’t compromise on joy. Wrapped in Rebel Walls' Stripes in Graphite, the walls feel like a playful nod to the rest of the home's bold design direction. But it’s the combination of color, contrast, and function that makes this room shine.
Fireclay Tile brings it all together underfoot, with a border in Tidewater and a classic field tile in Tusk—an echo of the palette found in the nearby kitchen. A custom butcher block bench offers seating and warmth, while closed cabinetry provides smart storage for dog gear, coats, and those everyday items that always need a home.
And let’s not forget the ceiling—vintage magnolia blossom lights from Shades of Light cast whimsical shadows across the space, making even a quick trip to grab the keys feel like an occasion.
