This complete home remodel and addition began with the owners desire to renovate and update the original forty year old vacation home and features. The client was recommended to us by their friends who had hired us to remodel a vacation home in Carmel Valley. We began by selecting Jim Stroupe, a highly qualified local Architect, to devise an entirely new front facade and interior layout. He met with the client and quickly proposed a design which captured the Baja California look she had in mind. With a few revisions and another client meeting, we soon had a finished set of plans. The new home design included a dramatic new entryway, 10 foot high ceilings, expanded kitchen, and a re-designed master bedroom oriented to capture the expansive ocean views at this location. http://santaellamedia.com/

This Arizona modern home is defined by its desert context, as evidenced by the deep shade overhangs, a cooling pool, and an earth-tone material palette that fades into its surroundings. The wedge-shaped floor plan funnels circulation through a small entryway, then quickly expands into an angled array of living spaces that embrace a “front row seat” view of Tortuga Mountain. The client-driven interior style is a personalized collaboration that celebrates warmth and contrast.

The beautifully designed outdoor dining table has a slatted teak table top that expands from 94'' to 142'' long. The frame of the table is constructed with teak and comes with two 33'' long extensions. A matching dining arm chair with a seat and in ecru colored fabric is also available. The zippered pillow cushion cover is weather resistant and has an interior foam that is quick drying and will not promote mold or mildew.

This home was in the perfect neighborhood for this busy young family but the layout was all wrong! With a large formal dining room located in the front of the home and a small galley kitchen facing a narrow side yard, we quickly decided a shuffling was in order. Combining the small kitchen and family room with the large formal dining room allowed us to expand the kitchen and create a common area that every member of the family could enjoy. We selected a rich hardware floor to run throughout the space and contrasted that with crisp white cabinetry and a cool gray quartz countertop. A navy accent wall adds a pop of color in the kitchen area while a calm neutral unifies the rest of the common areas. A rustic dining table, pendant light fixtures, and farm style sink add a rustic element making the space feel relaxed and comfy for this casual family.
