White oak pantry sections bracket the painted upper cabinets. The countertop runs inside the appliance garage at the left end of the pantry wall. A bi-fold door gives maximum access to the appliance garage. The countertop material continues up the wall for the backsplash. Stainless toe kicks provide a visual break between the flooring and the oak cabinetry, plus add to the overall sense of lightness in the design.

Integrating the materials of the entry, the dining area and the kitchen creates a sense of harmony in this unusually shaped area. Light wood veneer is reserved for the kitchen area and dark wood for the more public areas - entry and dining area. The high dark wood shelf runs through the entire space, tying it together.

LINEA Design Build Remodel reconstructed this basic hall bathroom in a Holmes Run midcentury modern home to provide easy function, easy care, clean lines and a much larger sense of space, via the full wall mirror, than actually exists. A three-tier heated towel rack adds the finishing touch.

To accommodate the needs of a growing family, the young parents of two sought to add a third story to their existing home and create a warm, modern space by capturing natural light and breaking down the house’s dated “formal” boundaries and limited sense of connection and flow. Creating the new central stairway and adding new light wells at the east and west property lines allow light to reach through all three levels. Exposed structure running through the skylight at the top level works to bounce and diffuse light and add a sense of discovery. The main floor level was completely reoriented to take advantage of the south facing rear garden. With generous cabinetry and a walk-in pantry, the new open kitchen is the center of the house. With its new 11’ ceiling, the great room also contains the main living and dining spaces as well as a sliding glass wall that opens to the deck beyond, inviting seamless indoor/outdoor living. An exterior stair in turn connects this level to the garden below. Image by Paul Dyer.

Eichler in Marinwood - In conjunction to the porous programmatic kitchen block as a connective element, the walls along the main corridor add to the sense of bringing outside in. The fin wall adjacent to the entry has been detailed to have the siding slip past the glass, while the living, kitchen and dining room are all connected by a walnut veneer feature wall running the length of the house. This wall also echoes the lush surroundings of lucas valley as well as the original mahogany plywood panels used within eichlers. photo: scott hargis

A key feature of Purcell's Scandinavian Modern Design is that one the Gable ends of the building we run the sidewalls longer that the front face wall, creating overhanging side walls. Therefore, a sense of shelter not only from the roof above but also from the sides. One other element that really makes thi spop, is the entire buildings roof, wall and windows are all clad in strong black metal. However, if you look closely at the underbelly (soffit), you will see a natural light wood within.
