This 1910 West Highlands home was so compartmentalized that you couldn't help to notice you were constantly entering a new room every 8-10 feet. There was also a 500 SF addition put on the back of the home to accommodate a living room, 3/4 bath, laundry room and back foyer - 350 SF of that was for the living room. Needless to say, the house needed to be gutted and replanned. Kitchen+Dining+Laundry-Like most of these early 1900's homes, the kitchen was not the heartbeat of the home like they are today. This kitchen was tucked away in the back and smaller than any other social rooms in the house. We knocked out the walls of the dining room to expand and created an open floor plan suitable for any type of gathering. As a nod to the history of the home, we used butcherblock for all the countertops and shelving which was accented by tones of brass, dusty blues and light-warm greys. This room had no storage before so creating ample storage and a variety of storage types was a critical ask for the client. One of my favorite details is the blue crown that draws from one end of the space to the other, accenting a ceiling that was otherwise forgotten. Primary Bath-This did not exist prior to the remodel and the client wanted a more neutral space with strong visual details. We split the walls in half with a datum line that transitions from penny gap molding to the tile in the shower. To provide some more visual drama, we did a chevron tile arrangement on the floor, gridded the shower enclosure for some deep contrast an array of brass and quartz to elevate the finishes. Powder Bath-This is always a fun place to let your vision get out of the box a bit. All the elements were familiar to the space but modernized and more playful. The floor has a wood look tile in a herringbone arrangement, a navy vanity, gold fixtures that are all servants to the star of the room - the blue and white deco wall tile behind the vanity. Full Bath-This was a quirky little bathroom that you'd always keep the door closed when guests are over. Now we have brought the blue tones into the space and accented it with bronze fixtures and a playful southwestern floor tile. Living Room & Office-This room was too big for its own good and now serves multiple purposes. We condensed the space to provide a living area for the whole family plus other guests and left enough room to explain the space with floor cushions. The office was a bonus to the project as it provided privacy to a room that otherwise had none before.

We were delighted to find out a previous client of ours was expecting another baby! We were tasked to design a nursery that was calming, masculine and playful. We incorporated a curated gallery wall, ceiling mural and LED baby name sign that cannot be forgotten! Within this small space, we had to include a crib, rocking chair, changing table and daybed. We were focused on making it functional for not only the baby but also for the parents. The fur rug is not only extremely comfortable, but also machine washable - that's a win-win! The layered jute rug underneath creates visual interest and texture. The striped ottoman, black daybed and leather drawer pulls bring the masculinity to the room. We had a custom LED baby name sign made for over the crib, which can be dimmed to any brightness and is safe for children (unlike neon). Baby Andres was born on May 11th. 2020.

What began as a forgotten mid-century modern house was reimagined into a home that celebrates its architectural roots while embracing modern comfort and functionality. The redesigned layout opened the floor plan, inviting light and flow throughout the home. A new primary suite now offers a private retreat with a walk-in closet, floating vanity, heated towel bars, and spa-inspired comfort. The kitchen was crafted for efficiency and style, featuring quartzite surfaces, custom millwork, and clever storage like a hidden “magic corner.” Lighting was thoughtfully integrated into exposed beams, highlighting textures and form while maintaining the home’s mid-century character. Every detail, inside and out, reflects a seamless balance of nostalgia, accessibility, and timeless design.

The aged mansard has almost been forgotten and abundant. With interesting internal geometry and the grand focal point of a centrally placed window, the quirky design opportunities were endless. The idea was to play with the complex geometry of the mansard’s walls, angles and most importantly the sharp ceiling drop. An optical illusion effect of black and white stripes has been adapted to even out sharp angles of the walls, giving the mansard an airy feel. The mansards balance is maintained by parallel white walls, which offset the optical illusion effect. Oak furnishings and flooring bring the final soft touch to the cool interior of the mansard, adding just enough warmth to make it feel homely again.
