Originally designed as a den or family room, we reinterpreted this space into an expansive and functional home office. We began by removing the dated stained wood paneling and parquet flooring, creating a fresh and modern foundation. To enhance functionality and style, we installed floating bookshelves that provide ample storage and display space. The wet bar received a contemporary update with an under-counter beverage fridge, asymmetrical floating shelves, and a sleek glass backsplash, blending practicality with a touch of sophistication. This remodel has transformed the room into a stylish and efficient workspace, perfectly suited to meet the demands of a modern home office.

Urban Family Retreat at Gampaha | A Vision of Seamless Flow In the heart of Gampaha, an extraordinary residential project has emerged—a refined family retreat that balances modern design with comfort and functionality. The "Pass By Spaces" concept, central to this architectural vision, ensures that each area of the home flows seamlessly into the next. This thoughtful design approach creates a sense of unity and connection throughout the home, offering a sophisticated yet tranquil living experience for its residents. The Design Concept: "Pass By Spaces" The underlying philosophy of the project centers on the concept of “Pass By Spaces”—a circulation strategy that serves as the spine of the home. By utilizing this continuous circulation, the design allows the different spaces to interact with one another naturally. From the family living room to the study, guest areas, and private bedrooms, each function flows into the next through this unified circulation, creating a harmonious journey through the home. This approach not only enhances spatial connectivity but also fosters a sense of movement, encouraging ease and fluidity in daily living.

A two-vehicle car porch provides ample space and easy access, while maintaining an elegant, minimalistic aesthetic. Main Circulation: The hallmark of this design is its single-spine circulation, which connects all key areas of the home. This circulation serves as the backbone of the house, facilitating smooth transitions between private and social spaces. The careful placement of rooms ensures that the flow is intuitive and unobtrusive, allowing each space to remain distinct while still being interconnected. Interior Layout: • Bedrooms: The home features five generously sized bedrooms, each designed to offer privacy and comfort. Some bedrooms include private terraces, providing residents with an intimate outdoor space. • Family & Guest Areas: The expansive family living room is a central gathering space, complemented by a mini pantry for convenience. A dedicated guest living and dining area ensures that visitors enjoy a separate, comfortable space. • Work & Study: A tranquil study room offers a quiet area for focus and reflection, while a flexible meeting room is perfect for professional engagements or personal gatherings. • Private Spaces: In addition to the main living areas, the home includes a maid’s room, a laundry room, and four well-appointed bathrooms, including a powder room for guests. • Storage & Utility: Thoughtful planning includes a generator room and ample storage space to meet the needs of modern living. Design Considerations A primary focus of the design is to maximize natural light and ventilation throughout the home. The strategic placement of windows, terraces, and open spaces ensures that every room benefits from an abundance of daylight and fresh air, creating an airy and welcoming environment. Sustainability also plays a key role in this design. Eco-friendly materials are incorporated to ensure energy efficiency, while landscaping is carefully integrated to maintain harmony between the indoors and the surrounding environment. These design elements allow the home to feel like a serene retreat amidst the urban landscape of Gampaha. Conclusion The “Pass By Spaces” design concept not only elevates the architectural experience but also fosters a sense of connection and tranquility for the residents of this urban family retreat. With a seamless flow between spaces, thoughtful use of materials, and an emphasis on sustainability, this home exemplifies a modern approach to residential design that prioritizes both style and functionality. For prospective homeowners looking to create a space that embodies both beauty and practicality, this project serves as a testament to what can be achieved through innovative design and meticulous attention to detail.

This project involved updating a 1922 craftsman bungalow with a brighter, more modern palette while incorporating elements of the family's Asian and Latin/Texan heritage. The home lacked a true entryway, so cabinets and hooks were added to create a practical and stylish space for shoes, bags, and keys. The living room was redesigned to incorporate swivel chairs and an ottoman for a more dynamic layout, and the dining room features a white oak table that can be extended for large family gatherings. The home office was designed to serve as a workspace, TV room, and guest room, with a spacious console/media cabinet, a hide-a-bed chair, and tall white bookcases to display the family's extensive book collection. The project was completed in March 2022.

Completed in 2025, Project Hallow included a full lateral addition with two bathrooms, two offices, and three bedrooms. One side of the addition features the new primary suite, which includes the primary bedroom, a walk-in closet, an office, and a spacious ensuite. The ensuite is outfitted with a double vanity, double shower niche, a large walk-in shower with a bench, and a stand-alone tub. The other wing includes two bedrooms, a second office, and a full bathroom. The bathroom features a custom shower niche, a bathtub-shower combo, and a double vanity. Two of the bedrooms feature custom accent walls. Select rooms also include built-in closets and custom cabinetry. A skylight brings natural light into the new space. The project also included a new laundry room in the basement and a deck in the backyard, adding both practicality and comfort to the home.
