The clients for this project approached SALA ‘to create a house that we will be excited to come home to’. Having lived in their house for over 20 years, they chose to stay connected to their neighborhood, and accomplish their goals by extensively remodeling their existing split-entry home.

The back of the split-level after the renovation: stucco and brick, large black-framed windows, a new stone patio and gardens. Part of Split Level, Reimagined, an accessible aging-in-place renovation of a split-level home in Ottawa by Still at Home Inc., winner of two 2026 Housing Design Awards from the Greater Ottawa Home Builders' Association (GOHBA): Alternative or Adaptive Spaces, and Renovation ($400,001 to $600,000).

When I visited this 1970’s split-level home in Golden, Colorado for the first time, the space on this main floor was broken up into 3 rooms. The kitchen was crammed into the center of the space and covered in small, 1970’s cabinets. This family loves to cook together and entertain friends - they craved a space that could support two active cooks and plenty of hang-out room for friends. We took out walls and added a window to get the space light and bright. I added a banquette area to create a more intimate space near the bay window. Per the client, we put in two sinks for each cook. Photographs by Jordan Katz. Styling by Kristy Oatman. FEATURED IN: Colorado Nest
