A married pair of artists sought to expand and adapt this salt box-style house into a functional, attractive live/work space while retaining certain nostalgic elements (this was the wife’s childhood home.) Their objectives included adding on a dining room; expanding the master bedroom and downstairs studio spaces; maximizing natural light; and continuing occupancy throughout. The through-block property is sited between a high-traffic road and another that provides vehicular access to the house. The architect’s solution effectively reversed the entry sequence. The studio elevation, with the master bedroom, dining room and terrace above, is now the formal front of the house, while the former front entrance from the busy road is now secondary. Today, visitors arrive at the new primary entrance, greeted by a façade suggesting a simple folded ribbon: metal panels that wrap the expanded master bedroom and the new terrace. Recladding with fiber cement composite rainscreen (a choice inspired by the clients’ travels in Finland) unifies the addition with the existing. The new dining room enjoys views of Meadowlands sunsets through the 12-foot length of full-height glass and the cable rails of the new deck outside. The L-shaped artist studio/office downstairs now gains light from transom-height windows running the width of the house.

It is made out of one single slab of wood which makes each of these benches truly unique. Mitered edge joints highlight the continuous grain that flows from the top of the piece down the side. Contrasting maple dovetails add strength and demonstrate the precision and craftsmanship in the construction of this piece. Handmade in San Diego, California. Like all of our furniture, the solid hardwood and construction practices make it built to be enjoyed for generations.

Perched atop a hill over-looking Avila Beach, this 5 bedroom, 5 ½ bath residence has all the amenities one could wish for in a custom home.

The owners of this contemporary home love the woods that surround their property. They wanted that feeling to embrace their home, while keeping the sight lines open. A contemporary linear paver was chosen to echo the board-formed concrete wall at the entrance. A mix of native and woodland plants line the chip seal driveway. In a sunny spot in the front, a pollinator garden of native flowering plants greets the owners as they park their car. A much-loved Dogwood tree was framed with ferns and carex. Hellebores and spring bulbs peak through in the spring, enlightening the entrance garden.
