A full renovation of a post and beam home that had a heritage home designation. We had to keep the general styling of the house, while updating to the modern era. This project included a new front addition, an addition of a second floor master suite, a new carport with duel Tesla chargers, all new mechanical , electrical and plumbing systems, and all new finishes throughout. We also created an amazing custom staircase using wood milled from the trees removed from the front yard.

This concrete deck is complemented by fascia-mounted black, square aluminum posts and cable infill with a customer-supplied wood top rail. The backyard update project also features a hot tub.

At the Churchill residence we removed all the posts, handrail, balusters, caps and carpet. With the old elements out of the way we installed new oak box newels and caps, replaced the balusters with our wrought iron powder coated pickets, and provided the touch up and staining to match that is our hallmark. With the stairs updated, the whole space is given a Mediterranean air.

Using aged copper lighting by Visual Comfort to flank the door draws the attention up on the porch and makes the front loader garage do away. We wrapped the columns to create a more substantial look.

The entry and dining room were separated by a header and both had different ceiling styles (vaulted and tray, respectively) and an unsightly –but structural –post at the corner into the living room, which was inconvenient to walk around. The kitchen was completely blocked off visually. By eliminating the post and creating a (majority) single ceiling height in these three spaces, with only one step up to the living room ceiling height we created an updated aesthetic. It also increased traffic flow around the rooms, and opened up the kitchen spectacularly.
