This cool project reflected the homeowners’ fun personalities and distinctive sense of style. The remodel added a third bedroom to the second floor while also creating a new primary suite designed for comfort and retreat. To complete the transformation, updated exterior railings added fresh curb appeal and continuity between the inside and outside. The result is a second floor that’s both highly functional for family life and perfectly tailored to the homeowners’ vision.

For this growing family in Foster City, a full second story was the key to staying in the home they loved. The addition added three additional bedrooms, a versatile loft, a full bathroom, and a laundry room, plus new 20 ft vaulted ceilings, a walk-in pantry, and a new staircase, along with a kitchen upgrade featuring an 8 ft island.
