2B is at once a tranquil art gallery and a comfortable residence; white walls as a simple canvas that bears the quiet sophistication of hovering sculptures and framed compositions of brushstrokes and purposeful blots. Exposed structural concrete and sliding panels of timber begin to define the ephemeral lightness and contain the sideboard that complements the living space, just as the bay windows frame the dynamic mountainous scenes beyond. Natural light afforded by the bays begins to change in timbre and so the sculptural shadows begin to dance to the soft bending pentatonic melodies by the lady of the house - the artiste in residence. - www.0932.am Type .

For this kitchen and bath remodel in San Francisco's Cole Valley, our client wanted us to open the kitchen up to the living room and create a new modern feel for all of the remodeled areas. Opening the kitchen to the living area provided a structural challenge as the wall we had to remove was load-bearing and there was a separately owned condo on the floor below. Working closely with a structural engineer, we created a strategy to carry the weight to the exterior walls of the building. In order to do this we had to tear off the entire roof and rebuild it with new structural joists which could span from property line to property line. To achieve a dramatic daylighting effect, we created a slot skylight over the back wall of the kitchen with the beams running through the skylight. Cerulean blue, back-painted glass for the backsplash and a thick waterfall edge for the island add more distinctive touches to this kitchen design. In the master bath we created a sinuous counter edge which tracks its way to the floor to create a curb for the shower. Green tile imported from Morocco adds a pop of color in the shower and a custom built indirect LED lighting cove creates a glow of light around the mirror. Photography by Christopher Stark.

Complete renovation of a 4000 SF single story home with a detached casita. The project included; interior non bearing wall removal, new cabinets throughout, hard wood flooring throughout and full kitchen, master and secondary bathroom remodels.

The owner of this residence wanted to maintain the traditional look of the cape while adding some flair to the exterior in terms of the subtle curve at the rooflines of the garage/studio addition. The interior of the main floor was almost entirely gutted with all bearing walls removed in order to create a modern, open loft-like kitchen. A master bedroom suite was added to the first floor at the rear of the addition with a cathedral ceiling and walk-out access to the rear deck. Additionally, a cozy office/studio space was added above the garage to allow for some privacy. The scope of work also included replacement of all the windows and siding on the house using low maintenance fiber-cement clapboards.

Challenge: Our clients wanted to modernize the look of their 1997 home, and update all electrical and plumbing infrastructure. Structural issues were apparent at the onset of the project with missing bearing points and beams that should have been incorporated into the original build. Solution: The work started with a complete strip out of the interior. Existing finishes, appliances, kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, electrical, plumbing, doors and frames, heating systems, all trim, drywall, insulation and vapour barrier we all removed. This left a bare wood frame shell which required some tricky structural changes to open up the interior necessitating load transfer modifications and additional foundations. The main stair was widened to create a luxurious ascent to the master bedroom overlooking the golf course. All bathrooms were fully replaced with a new kitchen designed to be open to the dining room and living room. The new interior finishes, and the essential design thereof, came together smoothly with all trades meeting agreed time frames and prices. We had a great time working with the client throughout the project. Communication was strong during the course of construction which resulted in a renovation that exceeded the client’s criteria and that also met our exacting level of quality.

SF Mission District Loft. Eclectic just about covers it. This photos is taken from the serene and spacious master bedroom. The room is bathed in sun and when it gets too hot, which contrary to popular belief it can here in SF, the very soft pinkish taupe honeycomb blinds (up-down construction) and open windows provide much comfort.

The view after the remodel looks south from the bar. The camera is in roughly in the same position as the doorway from the dining room to the kitchen used to be. Traffic now moves along the west wall past the fridge without disrupting food prep. The installation of engineered, laminated beams in the ceiling permitted the load-bearing pantry wall and west wall to be removed to include the pantry in the footprint of the kitchen, and to provide a home for the fridge. The front of the fridge is just about where the doorframe to the rear hallway to the bedrooms and master bath used to be. The stove has been moved to its new location from directly in front of the where the fridge is now. A vintage enamel-topped cabinet serves as an island/landing spot midway between the fridge, sink and stove. The faux-wood Formica countertop and backsplash have been replaced with "Absolute Black" granite with a honed (dull) finish, and Daltile white subway tile with contrasting Mapei "Iron" colored grout. The granite counter has been bumped out at the sink (a VIGO Newhall double-basin undermount) from 22" to the modern standard of 25" to accommodate contemporary appliances. Beyond the bump, we kept the 22" depth to permit us to keep using the original bank of drawers. The brick wall left of the pantry has been exposed for textural and color contrast as has the chimney. The more saturated "Golden Chime" paint has been muted by tinting it for a lighter feel. The center panels of the upper cabinets have been replaced with "Mistlite" obscure glass and an additional cabinet added over the sink. The pantry, formerly a cluttered storage area is an attractive, functional storage and prep area. The clutter is hidden by storage cabinets that echo those in the main portion of the kitchen, with the entire bank on the west wall having been salvaged from the wall that used to be between the kitchen and dining room. The undercabinet LED lights/sockets brighten the prep area. The pantry counter, constructed of clear-grain fir salvaged from the kitchen floor (now oak), increases the linear workspace by 6 feet. Two new (old) overhead lights were added. In the kitchen a vintage farmhouse fixture obtained from North End Lampworks replaces a contemporary fixture. In the dining room, (not visible) a 100-year-old wrought iron chandelier purchased from CenturyOfLighting.com's Etsy page was added. The vintage exhaust fan is no longer functional, having been moved to make space for the cabinets above the fridge. But, we hated to lose the architectural interest, so the cast iron grill is mounted to a wood frame backed by a photo of the actual fan, and mounted to the frame with the same hardware that would be used to mount the real fan. The whole assemblage is hung on the wall like a framed picture.

Xtreme Renovations just completed a Total Kitchen Renovation Project for our clients in the Westbury Area. Our clients envisioned transforming their closed in Kitchen to a functional open space that flowed into the Living Area to provide a much large feel to the main Living area. This renovation project required removing a set of upper cabinetry along with a load bearing support post. To provide the wide open ‘feel’ our clients desired, a new support beam was install between the Kitchen and Living area. All Kitchen existing cabinets were refaced to a shaker style and painted white. Two additional custom built cabinets were added to the back Cabinetry for additional storage space as well as adding a hidden trash receptacle drawer. To add functionality to the new cabinets, full extension soft closing drawer glides were install with European soft closing hedges on the new cabinet doors. The project also included installing new Absolute Black Granite with Travertine subway Tile backsplash. New Travertine tile flooring was also installed on a Versailles pattern from the front entryway into the Kitchen and walkway to the Master Bedroom. To add a touch of class and the ‘Wow Factored’ that our clients deserved and Xtreme Renovations is known for, upgraded LED recessed lighting along with over countertop Pendulum lighting as well as under cabinet lighting on dimmers created a ambiance that is inviting and soothing to the eye. Many other electrical upgrades were provided as well as install a stainless Farm Sink. Drywall repair and repainting areas affected by the renovation topped of this remarkable transformation.
