Klopf ArchitectureSet in a quiet neighborhood and framed by mature trees, this residence presented a unique opportunity: to thoughtfully evolve a custom mid-century modern home into a space that supports the everyday rhythms of a growing family. With a deep respect for the home’s original architecture, Klopf Architecture reimagined the house to better meet the needs of its owners—introducing functional improvements while preserving the spirit and character of its mid-century roots.
The clients approached Klopf Architecture with a clear vision: refresh their home while seamlessly integrating new programmatic elements. Key goals included clarifying and enhancing the entry sequence; connecting the detached garage to the main house with a practical yet architecturally intentional intervention; adding functional spaces such as a mudroom and laundry room; expanding and remodeling the primary suite’s bathroom and closet; and creating a more engaging outdoor space that capitalized on the site’s impressive views, featuring a fire pit and outdoor kitchen.
As a couple with distinct yet complementary perspectives—one focused on modern functionality and technology, and the other dedicated to preserving the home’s architectural integrity—their collaboration with Klopf Architecture resulted in a solution that harmonized both ideals. Their shared commitment to improving the livability of their home led to a design dialogue rooted in balance. This dynamic partnership shaped the direction of the renovation, ensuring that every decision honored the spirit of the original home while aligning with the practical needs of their growing family.
Designing within the constraints of the sloped site posed one of the project’s central challenges. The detached garage sat at a higher elevation than the main house, requiring a solution that ensured architectural and geometric compatibility between the two structures. Rather than create a purely utilitarian link, Klopf Architecture introduced an intentional connection that contributes to the overall architectural language. A notable pinch point in the plan—where differing geometries converged—was treated as a hinge point, turning a potentially awkward juncture into an architectural feature. This area now functions as both a transition and a moment of design interest that unifies the overall plan.
The design also addressed the underutilized outdoor area, which was located in a shadowed portion of the site with geometrical limitations. A new connection to the rear deck was created in this same area, making the outdoor space more useful and inviting. Klopf Architecture introduced carefully positioned openings and spatial improvements that forged a strong visual and functional connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. The outdoor area now reads as a deliberate extension of the home, embracing natural light and emphasizing the dramatic views.
Working through multiple design iterations, Klopf Architecture crafted a solution that preserved the architectural language of the original home while supporting the functional needs of modern life. The garage-to-house connection became more than a passage—it evolved into an architectural moment of transition. A new mudroom and laundry space enhanced convenience without compromising the clean lines of the design. The primary suite was expanded to create a private, serene retreat. The reimagined backyard, complete with fire pit and kitchen, now plays a vital role in the family’s daily routine and social life.
Outcomes and Lasting Impact
The result is a home that balances heritage with contemporary design, technical precision with design sensibility. The redesign not only met the clients’ initial goals but also exceeded expectations in its ability to seamlessly blend past and present, function and beauty, making the outdoor kitchen a favorite gathering place.
Beyond aesthetics, the renovation has significantly improved daily life for the family. The newly integrated garage connection has streamlined routines, providing a seamless transition between arriving home, storing belongings, and entering the main living spaces. The expanded primary suite offers a retreat-like atmosphere, creating a private space to unwind at the end of the day. The redesigned outdoor areas have also become an extension of their lifestyle—whether it's casual family dinners around the fire pit, entertaining friends in the outdoor kitchen, or simply enjoying the view from the reimagined backyard.
Through a thoughtful and strategic approach, the house has been successfully evolved into a home that remains true to its mid-century modern roots while enhancing livability, functionality, and the overall quality of life for the modern-day owners.

SV DesignThis North Shore residence captures commanding views of the ocean, while maintaining a sense of privacy for the homeowners. Their priorities focused on thoughtful design, evolving from a restoration of a small summer cottage into a new home, well sited on a narrow lot. SV Design worked within the constraints of conservation and a flood zone to create a masterpiece of charm and appeal. The home reflects the tastes of the owners, who remained involved through every step of the process. Natural light is well utilized, the open layout provides ease in entertaining and in day to day living, and the views are captured from assorted vantage points. Personalized accents abound throughout the property--- warm wood flooring, stone accents--- both inside and outside of the home, a kitchen with clean lines and efficient storage space, and a butler’s pantry. The design of the property is aesthetically pleasing, creative, and functional; most of all, it fulfilled the visions of the clients.

Mangum Design-Build, Inc.The Glenhill house settles gracefully into a mature pine forest, its form composed as a quiet
study of light, proportion, and crafted detail. A two-story residence lifted above a drive-through
garage, it is designed as a sequence of framed views — each room capturing the vertical
rhythm of pines, shifting daylight, and the subtle movement of the landscape. Boundaries
dissolve as floor-to-ceiling glass opens living spaces to broad terraces and cantilevered
balconies, allowing the forest to inhabit the interior as much as the residents inhabit the site.
A finely tuned steel frame enables deep overhangs and slender structural lines, giving the
house its floating clarity. These long spans soften the transition between indoors and out,
casting calibrated shadows across stone floors and hand-finished wood surfaces. Every
junction, from the precision-cut steel connections to the custom millwork, reflects an elevated
commitment to craft. Materials are chosen not only for their beauty but for the way they register
light—the warmth of timber, the quiet solidity of stone, the reflective sheen of metal.
The owner’s collection of art integrates seamlessly into the architectural language. Display walls
and open sightlines turn circulation paths into gallery promenades, while the garage level
becomes both threshold and exhibition space for the automobile collection. At dusk, the home
glows lantern-like within the pines, revealing a composition where structure, material, and
nature are held in delicate balance. It is a dwelling shaped less as an object in the woods and
more as a crafted extension of the forest itself.
The project began with an unexpected challenge: the original lot, once selected for its beauty,
became untenable when neighboring homeowners objected to the presence of a modern house.
Rather than compromise the vision, the team embraced a new site, one even more deeply
woven into the pine forest, and treated the change as an opportunity to refine the project’s
relationship to nature and craft.
Working within a densely wooded parcel required choreography as much as construction.
Limited access routes, the need to preserve mature trees, and the precision demands of steel
erection shaped a carefully phased process. Contractors navigated the site with restraint,
placing each piece of steel like a line of poetry between trunks. The resulting frame, powerful
yet minimal, was later infilled with lumber to create a hybrid system — efficient, warm, and
capable of carrying cantilevers far beyond what wood alone could achieve. These extended
overhangs became the project’s quiet gesture of shelter and shadow. Collaboration with the interior designer was integral to the home’s harmony. Together, the team
refined material transitions so stone, wood, and metal could pass from exterior to interior with a
single visual glance. Craftsmanship elevated everyday moments: concealed hardware, sculpted
millwork, and the sourcing of a solid limestone soaking tub, carved from a single block, all
contribute to the home’s sense of intentional calm.
What emerged is a house shaped by constraint, strengthened by collaboration, and refined
through an unwavering commitment to detail — an architectural refuge where complexity was
transformed into clarity, and obstacles into opportunities for deeper expression.
Material selection became an essential extension of the home’s design philosophy, reinforcing
the crafted clarity of each space. Hand-selected stone slabs were book-matched for the
fireplace and bath walls, creating veined compositions that read like natural murals. Custom-
built windows, engineered with specialty-coated glazing and rigorously pressure-tested, provide
both protection and extraordinary visual transparency. Above, concealed truss framing houses
recessed air diffusers and hidden shades, allowing ceilings to remain quiet and uninterrupted.
The horizontal planes of the flat roof are achieved with a commercial-grade membrane system,
delivering the crisp, modern silhouette the design demands. At the exterior, natural stone
grounds the home to its site, stitching the architecture to the forest floor and rooting the dwelling
in the land from which its materials are drawn.
Bureau NamasPerched along the hillside of Via De La Paz, this residence is defined by the way it negotiates elevation. At its core, the project is an exploration of proportion and hierarchy — a multi-level home shaped by the site’s natural topography and oriented to capture ocean views. The design works with the constraints of the hillside, using changes in elevation to create a layered sequence of indoor and outdoor spaces.
Traditional Spanish elements inform the overall character, while a more restrained approach keeps the home grounded and livable. Stone and stucco cladding, a tiled roof, and arched openings reference classic precedents, while steel doors and windows introduce a quieter transitional quality.
The layout was designed to support California’s indoor–outdoor lifestyle without sacrificing intimacy. Terraces, balconies, and connected living spaces create openness, while the scale and flow of each level remain thoughtful and contained.

Drewett WorksThe primary goal for this project was to craft a modernist derivation of pueblo architecture. Set into a heavily laden boulder hillside, the design also reflects the nature of the stacked boulder formations. The site, located near local landmark Pinnacle Peak, offered breathtaking views which were largely upward, making proximity an issue. Maintaining southwest fenestration protection and maximizing views created the primary design constraint. The views are maximized with careful orientation, exacting overhangs, and wing wall locations. The overhangs intertwine and undulate with alternating materials stacking to reinforce the boulder strewn backdrop. The elegant material palette and siting allow for great harmony with the native desert.
The Elegant Modern at Estancia was the collaboration of many of the Valley's finest luxury home specialists. Interiors guru David Michael Miller contributed elegance and refinement in every detail. Landscape architect Russ Greey of Greey | Pickett contributed a landscape design that not only complimented the architecture, but nestled into the surrounding desert as if always a part of it. And contractor Manship Builders -- Jim Manship and project manager Mark Laidlaw -- brought precision and skill to the construction of what architect C.P. Drewett described as "a watch."

Western DuPage Landscaping, Inc.This partially wooded, acre and a half lot in West Dundee presented many challenges.
The clients began working with a Landscape Architect in the early spring, but after not getting the innovative ideas they were seeking, the home builder and Architect suggested the client contact our landscape design/build firm. We immediately hit it off with the charismatic clients. They had a tall order for us: complete the design and implement the construction within a three month period. For many projects this would be a reasonable time frame. However construction delays and the coordination of multiple trades left a very short window to complete the work.
Beyond the tight time frame the site required specific care in preserving the many mature surrounding trees, as well as addressing a vast grade change. Over fifteen feet of grade change occurs from one end of this woodland property to the other.
All of these constraints proved to be an enormous challenge as we worked to include and coordinate the following elements: the drive layout, a dramatic front entry, various gardens, landscape lighting, irrigation, and a plan for a backyard pool and entertainment space that already had been started without a clear plan.
Fortunately, the client loved our design ideas and attention to detail and we were able to mobilize and begin construction. With the seamless coordination between our firm and the builder we implemented all the elements of this grand project. In total eight different crews and five separate trades worked together to complete the landscape.
The completed project resulted in a rewarding experience for our firm, the builder and architect, as well as the client. Together we were able to create and construct a perfect oasis for the client that suited the beautiful property and the architecture of this dream home.
Joan Bigg Design LLCWorking within a set of constraints, whether of space or budget, challenges my creativity and leads to a beautiful end result. The old kitchen used the space very poorly. The intent was just to replace the countertop. But once we investigated, the inferior cabinets needed replacing, too, so a rethink of space usage created a small and stylish kitchen of lasting quality.
