This stunning, second-story, wrap-around deck was the perfect addition to this remote home. Nestled along the Hudson Valley of New York, this homeowner was looking to extend their living outdoors. Built with helical pilings to keep the deck sturdy and safe through any weather for decades to come, this deck was a testament to the importance of NADRA certification and TimberTech decking materials. This deck will require very little maintenance or effort to stay in peak condition for years to come.

This whole home remodel and second story addition located in the Ocean Beach community of San Diego started out as a traditional 858 square foot beach bungalow with two bedrooms and one bathroom. When the owners purchased the home, they knew they immediately wanted to significantly increase their living space and wanted to find a way to maximize the use of their lot without having to go through the extensive Coastal Commission permitting process.

This remodel was all about creating more space and better functionality for everyday life. By opening up attic space, we expanded the primary bathroom into a spa-like retreat. The laundry room was relocated upstairs for improved flow, and the former laundry area was transformed into a convenient new pantry. We also refreshed the bedrooms, hallway, and guest bath to tie the entire second floor together. The result is a cohesive, comfortable, and practical living space that perfectly fits our client’s lifestyle.

The design of this home was driven by the owners’ desire for a three-bedroom waterfront home that showcased the spectacular views and park-like setting. As nature lovers, they wanted their home to be organic, minimize any environmental impact on the sensitive site and embrace nature. This unique home is sited on a high ridge with a 45° slope to the water on the right and a deep ravine on the left. The five-acre site is completely wooded and tree preservation was a major emphasis. Very few trees were removed and special care was taken to protect the trees and environment throughout the project. To further minimize disturbance, grades were not changed and the home was designed to take full advantage of the site’s natural topography. Oak from the home site was re-purposed for the mantle, powder room counter and select furniture. The visually powerful twin pavilions were born from the need for level ground and parking on an otherwise challenging site. Fill dirt excavated from the main home provided the foundation. All structures are anchored with a natural stone base and exterior materials include timber framing, fir ceilings, shingle siding, a partial metal roof and corten steel walls. Stone, wood, metal and glass transition the exterior to the interior and large wood windows flood the home with light and showcase the setting. Interior finishes include reclaimed heart pine floors, Douglas fir trim, dry-stacked stone, rustic cherry cabinets and soapstone counters. Exterior spaces include a timber-framed porch, stone patio with fire pit and commanding views of the Occoquan reservoir. A second porch overlooks the ravine and a breezeway connects the garage to the home. Numerous energy-saving features have been incorporated, including LED lighting, on-demand gas water heating and special insulation. Smart technology helps manage and control the entire house.
