Xpand Inc. | Homes of XcellenceThe homeowners came to us looking for assistance to design and build a custom home on their current lakefront property. They were living on the site in an existing small cabin from the 1960s. The property has a steep embankment down to the lake and a zoning setback that created challenges for fitting a custom home on the lot.
Xpand worked with the homeowners to find and select the size and style of home that they liked and worked for their unique piece of land. The homeowner was very interested in aesthetics and desired a modern home with sleek low roof lines and lots of windows to take advantage of the lake views. Restrictions from zoning challenged Xpand, but we were able to perfectly fit the home with an angled deck that was within 3” of both the front and back yard setbacks.
In addition to a modern aesthetic, the homeowners are hoping to stay in the home as they age, so careful consideration was given to making sure that their new home would function for them in the future by including wider doorways, curbless showers, hard surface flooring and single-floor living.
This mid-century modern designed home includes a high covered entry, high ceilings, floor-to- ceiling windows and an open floorplan. Overall, this medium-sized home feels spacious yet bright and inviting. Slab on grade platform construction includes highly efficient in-floor hydronic heat that keeps everything consistently warm in the winter.
Throughout the interior of the home, the use of clean lines reflects the modern aesthetic desired by the homeowner. The kitchen features flat-panel doors and a large island with a dramatic quartz countertop. The use of black and white tones throughout with bright pops of color and geometric shapes completes the modern look to perfection.
Outside, restrictions from zoning challenged Xpand, but we were able to perfectly fit the home with an angled deck that was within 3” of both the front and back yard setbacks. The unique stylistic deck includes airplane cable railings and lifetime warrantied PVC decking on the back of the house.

Laney LA, Inc.Rather than starting with an outcome in mind, this 1,400 square foot residence began from a polemic place - exploring shared conviction regarding the concentrated power of living with a smaller footprint. From the gabled silhouette to passive ventilation, the home captures the nostalgia for the past with the sustainable practices of the future.
While the exterior materials contrast a calm, minimal palette with the sleek lines of the gabled silhouette, the interior spaces embody a playful, artistic spirit. From the hand painted De Gournay wallpaper in the master bath to the rugged texture of the over-grouted limestone and Portuguese cobblestones, the home is an experience that encapsulates the unexpected and the timeless.

Jones Pierce StudiosIn addition to updating the house, the family also needed a detached garage with a writer’s office above. To place the garage where it needed to go while staying inside the 20’ side setback would require demolishing an original stone stair that led to the lower yard. The stair had significance, not only because of its historical value, but because it was the start of a strong axis that threaded itself through pockets of plantings and landscape elements in the backyard. By arguing for the significance of this stair we were able to reduce the side yard setback from 20’ to 10’ placing the garage just alongside it.
7CGI LimitedThe homeowners were preparing for design-build and permitting conversations and needed clear, realistic visuals to judge curb appeal and proportions before committing to construction. The owner needed 3D visualization to solve zoning setback flexibility, site conditions and design integration.
We first modeled the entire house front and produced a couple of clay shots. Seeing them the owners decided that they have to go with a 30 feet setback.
After confirming the 30-foot setback option, we moved forward with a full set of colored visuals. These showed the new porch integration, the garage interior, the updated driveway layout, and a few exterior color options so the homeowners could compare finishes and make confident decisions.

Taragano Design and BuildTaragano Design & Build framing a detached accessory dwelling unit
in Contra Costa County, California.
An ADU is ground up construction on a lot that already has a house
on it, and that is the part homeowners underestimate. New
foundation, new framing, new service connections, all fitted into
whatever space the setbacks leave behind an existing structure.
The foundation determines the schedule more than anything else.
Soil across much of this county is expansive clay, which means
footing depth and reinforcement come out of a soils report rather
than a standard detail. That report happens early, because what it
says can change the design.
Roof form was set at the framing stage rather than adjusted later.
The shed slope pitches away from the main house, which keeps water
off the existing structure and lets the tall wall face the yard
where the glass goes.
Detached units frequently need their own address and their own
electrical meter, and in some cases a separate county permit after
the city permit. Requirements vary by jurisdiction, so we confirm
them in writing during design.
