Living room - 1960s living room idea in San Francisco with a brick fireplace

This client loved wood. Site-harvested lumber was applied to the stairwell walls with beautiful effect in this North Asheville home. The tongue-and-groove, nickel-jointed milling and installation, along with the simple detail metal balusters created a focal point for the home. The heavily-sloped lot afforded great views out back, demanded lots of view-facing windows, and required supported decks off the main floor and lower level. The screened porch features a massive, wood-burning outdoor fireplace with a traditional hearth, faced with natural stone. The side-yard natural-look water feature attracts many visitors from the surrounding woods.

This whole home renovation was a transformation of the main and upper floors, a garage conversion and a complete exterior facelift. The original garage was converted into a large practical mudroom, powder room, laundry and TV rooms. The walls between the kitchen, living and dining room were removed and a full island, bar area and a 6’ pantry were added. Shaker style cabinets in off white contrast with charcoal espresso cabinets for a dramatic effect in the kitchen. Hand scraped hickory hardwoods add durability and provide a solid foundation for the Ledgestone gas burning fireplace. Upstairs the master features floor to ceiling wall cabinets eliminating the need for a bureau. The ensuite is a beautiful retreat with a closed off water closet, double vanity and glass enclosed shower.

Chicago's relatively narrow lots visually allow for front and back to differentiate freeing up opportunities to make the new spaces responsive to the current functional needs and environmental goals of our client.

The addition, seen in context, reveals an emphasis on visually opening up to the back yard while providing views of the adjacent park and the Chicago River beyond.

This client asked us to bring unique character of Montecito to their Malibu estate. The grand entry was entirely redone with mass plantings of Mexican Sage and matching trees on either side of the driveway which was redone in crushed stone. The final effect was stunning. Photo: Lisa Cullen
