Cowbell Designs was hired by Legacy Property Investors to rework this Leawood residence as a full-house renovation, originally including a new upper level, an expanded front entry, and a complete interior renovation down to the studs. As the project developed, the design was reconsidered against comparable homes in the surrounding neighborhood. The revised approach eliminated the proposed upper level—which had included two additional bedrooms, a bathroom, storage, and a secondary gathering area—and removed the planned front porch extension. The final design focused instead on making the existing house work harder through a disciplined renovation of the current footprint. The completed home received updated exterior detailing, a redesigned entry, refreshed living spaces, and a more cohesive modern character throughout. Just over a year after the renovation was completed, the property was brought to market and began receiving interest immediately. An offer was accepted after only two days on the market. The project is a good example of how residential design can evolve when architecture, neighborhood context, market positioning, and construction realities are considered together rather than in isolation.

Home design - country home design idea in San Francisco

Rising amidst the grand homes of North Howe Street, this stately house has more than 6,600 SF. In total, the home has seven bedrooms, six full bathrooms and three powder rooms. Designed with an extra-wide floor plan (21'-2"), achieved through side-yard relief, and an attached garage achieved through rear-yard relief, it is a truly unique home in a truly stunning environment. The centerpiece of the home is its dramatic, 11-foot-diameter circular stair that ascends four floors from the lower level to the roof decks where panoramic windows (and views) infuse the staircase and lower levels with natural light. Public areas include classically-proportioned living and dining rooms, designed in an open-plan concept with architectural distinction enabling them to function individually. A gourmet, eat-in kitchen opens to the home's great room and rear gardens and is connected via its own staircase to the lower level family room, mud room and attached 2-1/2 car, heated garage. The second floor is a dedicated master floor, accessed by the main stair or the home's elevator. Features include a groin-vaulted ceiling; attached sun-room; private balcony; lavishly appointed master bath; tremendous closet space, including a 120 SF walk-in closet, and; an en-suite office. Four family bedrooms and three bathrooms are located on the third floor. This home was sold early in its construction process. Nathan Kirkman

This secondary bedroom was designed for guests to be welcomed into a calming environment. The curtains were custom made out of burlap. The neutral palate with just a pop of red gives it just enough pop.
