Reconfigured this kitchen layout removing a peninsula that closed off the space, to now having an island in the center. Added a hood vent above the new range cooktop and relocated the fridge.

All the materials selected and designed were thoughtful, two-toned kitchen cabinets, subtle color tones, simple modernized subway backsplash, classic white quartz countertops, and laminate wood floors. Very neutral and timeless to enjoy for years to come!

The clients are empty nesters in a bustling urban area, with a growing family, who visits often. We worked closely to achieve sophisticated spaces within the constraints of a community townhome. Their eclectic European design aesthetic was influential on the finish selections. The Kitchen is the centerpiece of the second-floor open floorplan. Optimizing the limited storage was imperative. Custom storage for the Kitchen and Pantry were taken to the ceiling, accessible with a ladder. A sophisticated and dramatic space within a bustling urban area. The kitchen is the centerpiece of the second floor of their townhome, which they wanted to make the focal point. With an open floorplan it was essential for each room to flow seamlessly from kitchen, to dining room, to living.

We transformed an unfinished basement into a functional oasis, our recent project encompassed the creation of a recreation room, bedroom, and a jack and jill bathroom with a tile look vinyl surround.

Every remodeling project presents its own unique challenges. This client’s original remodel vision was to replace an outdated kitchen, optimize ocean views with new decking and windows, updated the mother-in-law’s suite, and add a new loft. But all this changed one historic day when the Woolsey Fire swept through Malibu in November 2018 and leveled this neighborhood, including our remodel, which was underway.
Shifting to a ground-up design-build project, the JRP team worked closely with the homeowners through every step of designing, permitting, and building their new home. As avid horse owners, the redesign inspiration started with their love of rustic farmhouses and through the design process, turned into a more refined modern farmhouse reflected in the clean lines of white batten siding, and dark bronze metal roofing.
Starting from scratch, the interior spaces were repositioned to take advantage of the ocean views from all the bedrooms, kitchen, and open living spaces. The kitchen features a stacked chiseled edge granite island with cement pendant fixtures and rugged concrete-look perimeter countertops. The tongue and groove ceiling is repeated on the stove hood for a perfectly coordinated style. A herringbone tile pattern lends visual contrast to the cooking area. The generous double-section kitchen sink features side-by-side faucets.
Bi-fold doors and windows provide unobstructed sweeping views of the natural mountainside and ocean views. Opening the windows creates a perfect pass-through from the kitchen to outdoor entertaining. The expansive wrap-around decking creates the ideal space to gather for conversation and outdoor dining or soak in the California sunshine and the remarkable Pacific Ocean views.

New Aspen cabinets from Choice's Premier line were customized with glass front doors to display the customer's prized pottery and sculptures. A trash pullout and 2 banks of drawer bases were included in this layout to maximize space. The stove/microwave and refrigerator swapped locations to optimize the layout.
