The client, a sculpture artist, and his wife came to J.P.A. only wanting a studio next to their home. During the design process it grew to having a living space above the studio, which grew to having a small house attached to the studio forming a compound. At this point it became clear to the client; the project was outgrowing the neighborhood. After re-evaluating the project, the live / work compound is currently sited in a natural protected nest with post card views of Mount Sopris & the Roaring Fork Valley. The courtyard compound consist of the central south facing piece being the studio flanked by a simple 2500 sq ft 2 bedroom, 2 story house one the west side, and a multi purpose guest wing /studio on the east side. The evolution of this compound came to include the desire to have the building blend into the surrounding landscape, and at the same time become the backdrop to create and display his sculpture.
“Jess has been our architect on several projects over the past ten years. He is easy to work with, and his designs are interesting and thoughtful. He always carefully listens to our ideas and is able to create a plan that meets our needs both as individuals and as a family. We highly recommend Jess Pedersen Architecture”.

“As a general contractor, I can highly recommend Jess. His designs are very pleasing with a lot of thought put in to how they are lived in. He is a real team player, adding greatly to collaborative efforts and making the process smoother for all involved. Further, he gets information out on or ahead of schedule. Really been a pleasure working with Jess and hope to do more together in the future!”

Our client on Spyglass Lane in El Cerrito wanted to enjoy the views from his home and have protection from wind and sun.
The existing decks were small and in poor shape. He contacted a neighbor with a similar view, for whom we had built a deck 12 years ago, which is where we got involved.
The architect, Paul Burgin, and my client were both fans of modernist architect Richard Neutra's exterior home designs, so Paul drafted a preliminary design with this in mind. Mellor Remodeling assisted in Cost Planning between the architect and my client, pricing various design and material options (and suggesting cost savings where possible) and we created a design that fit the budget.
The completed deck project now overloks a golf course and has a neighborhood community property on both sides. This fortunate siting will preserve the 180 degree view indefinitely.
Mellor Remodeling has been thoughtfully transforming homes for the past 25 years. The Bay Area architecture, local building codes, historical construction medthods, the topography and climate all make for a great fit for the talents of Mellor Remodeling. We specialize in listening, then cost planning and then performing.

Linda Nielsen of Reico Kitchen & Bath in Millsboro, DE, collaborated with Damion Richards to design a stunning modern style inspired kitchen design that highlights cabinets from both Merillat Masterpiece and Merillat Classic.
The perimeter cabinets are designed in Merillat Masterpiece in the Epic door style with a Harbor Blue finish. The perimeter cabinets feature Merillat Classic in the Linielle door style with a Whisper finish. Silestone Eternal Calacatta Gold is used for the kitchen countertops.
“We were thrilled with all our selections from Reico, but my favorite part of it all are the kitchen cabinets. Linda Nielsen was instrumental in the design process and great to work with," said the client.
According to Linda, "Working together with the clients was very rewarding and fun. They were very involved and excited about their project. Despite the unique space limitations, we prioritized both function and aesthetics, transitioning from a traditional style to a sleek modern look. The Linielle door, with its unique textured slab door, combined with the Epic door in Harbor Blue was just the right complement. Stacking the perimeter cabinets added vertical interest to the kitchen and drew the eye upward. Listening to their needs made all the difference."

This beautiful home located in downtown Denver, in the heart of historic construction and homes has been transformed. The owner is an interior designer and Design First Kitchen and Bath was her "go-to" design professional. Listening to the vision she had and transferring it to a professional floorplan was all she needed to get started. As with many interior design visionaries they need those plans, expert measurements and someone to "bounce" ideas off of. With the three professional companies involved there is no wonder why this kitchen looks so amazing.

We listened intently as this delightful family shared their vision for an Old World dream home with a European flair. One that was distinctly elegant, yet still casual enough for gatherings. It was very important to build with natural materials that fit in character with the surroundings.
Attention to detail in each room was of utmost importance as the homeowners used their keen artistic sensibilities to stay closely involved in the selection of materials and colors. The resulting home feels as though it could’ve been built a century ago.
