This is the ultimate retirement home for this couple. With a 360 degree view they have every thing! They wanted it to express sustainability, water conservation and good looks. This garden features several dry stream beds, raised corrugated steel grow boxes, fire pit, pergola, three different path way materials, patio and many water wise perennials, ornamental grass and ground covers. The wind is always blowing their ornamental grasses! Rick Laughlin, APLD

A large lot with mature trees were incentives for this client to purchase a classic 1950s ranch house to retire in. An addition enlarged the master suite while the kitchen, utility and powder rooms were reconfigured for an updated floor plan. Existing hardwood floors were refinished, and new hardwood and tile floors added. Custom Shaker-style cabinets and granite countertops were installed throughout the project.

Living room - traditional living room idea

Built in 1960, the home has been owned by this couple since 1980. Through that time, repairs and patches had been done, but needed substantial renovation. They liked the galley shape, but did not like the placement of appliances nor the limited and awkward storage (see the before photos). Once they decided this would be their home through retirement, it was time to get it back into shape. The kitchen was the remodeling focus, but the hall bath had prior leak damage and the owners wanted an updated space. Also, the general home conditions called for updated paint, flooring, and lighting.

Staircase - rustic staircase idea in Albuquerque

This home was custom designed to accentuate the 180 degree view of the Okanagan Lake and the valleys. The warmth is highlighted with the hardwood flooring, tile work, linear gas fireplaces and the warm color tones. The main floor living will allow the owners to enjoy retirement in this home for years to come. The luxurious, lower level wine cellar with custom wrought iron door adds character to this stunning home!
