In the past, dark colors on vinyl windows were considered impractical because vinyl will warp at temperatures over 140 degrees. But the current technology is such that the color used today in vinyl actually reflects sunlight, keeping options.

Our clients, Scott and Anna were downsizing from their 6,000 square foot Alamo home to a new home in Orinda, closer to downtown. Years earlier they had sought to build a Spanish Colonial in Orinda, but issues arose that made it impractical, and they instead ended up living in a beautiful hilltop home in Alamo, Ca. built for them by Branagh Construction. When their kids left home, they again sought to fulfill their earlier dream of a Spanish Colonial in walking distance of downtown Orinda. They selected Branagh Development who built their Alamo home and our firm, Kattenburg Architects. Indivar Sivanathan

Beautiful kitchen transformation - from dated, country style Oak Kitchen to a new Cherry Kitchen with a custom grey stain. Custom giant "H" bulkhead created to solve impractical lighting, now housing LED potlights and pendants.

An updated master bathroom in a vintage 1900 cottage. The plinth based freestanding tub gives an original vintage feel to the room and the modern glassed-in shower adds 21st century amenities with a corner bench, rain shower head, hand held sprayer, and matching decorative grab bars providing safety features. Although the tile looks like marble it is actually easy care porcelain. Cabinetry and beaded wainscoting was designed to look original to the period and all moldings were matched to the homes original. The blue walls, Sherwin Williams 6477 Tidewater, provide a bright but soothing bath experience. Steven Long Photography

Master Bathroom remodel in North Fork vacation house. The marble tile floor flows straight through to the shower eliminating the need for a curb. A stationary glass panel keeps the water in and eliminates the need for a door. Glass tile on the walls compliments the marble on the floor while maintaining the modern feel of the space.

This young family in Richmond Hill had a shallow sloping lot on a ravine with such a sharp drop that it was impractical for most backyard activities. The dog ran around there but most family activities were restricted to the glass panelled porch. Betz provided a solution and helped to secure conservation approval for a four-foot retaining wall to level the area for a pool and patio.
