Contemporary front entry with custom lit posts made of tube steel and stainless steel cables with lights at bottom in Plexiglas cone and in top. Custom round metal wire beam and tube steel support for cone roof with Hope steel windows and doors. This project was a major transformation to the existing residence. It contained an addition of a two car garage, another bay at the back for an artist shop, laundry room and mud room off the garage connecting with a new front entry on the main level. The front entry has a grand stair that splits half way up serving the existing house and a new access to the master suite as well as the second level of the garage addition. This second level contains an art studio with close off rooms for grandkids a sitting area, and a full bath with two sinks. At the same time, the entire existing house was remodeled and most all rooms were relocated and re-arranged to accommodate a new kitchen, a family room, two guest rooms with baths on suite and a new master bedroom and bath on the upper level.

The site was the main point of inspiration for this home which features Zola Thermo Clad windows and doors. Located on a steep site with dramatic views, the house design takes cues from the surrounding topography. The house seeks to integrate into the landscape in a respectful way. It is set into the slope of the ridge, the building “steps down” working to become part of the landscape rather than be an intervention in opposition. The shed-roofed volumes are oriented to mimic the slope of the ridge and designed to provide solar shading. The main living space opens to spectacular landscape to the south and west – sweeping views of golden rolling hills, city lights, and is a perch to watch coast weather movement. On the north side the building is carefully shaped, turning to meet the edge line of a mature oak forest, creating an intimate, protected, courtyard.

The basement holds a two-car garage and a mother-in-law suite with kitchenette.

In this project we turned a 2 car garage into an ADU (accessory dwelling unit) in 2 Months!! After we finalized the floor plans and design, we submitted to the city for approval. in this unique garage we made it luxurious because we created a vaulted ceiling, we divided the kitchen/living room from the master bedroom. We installed French doors in the main entry and the master bedroom entry. We framed and installed a large bay window in the kitchen. we added 2 mini split air conditioning (One in the master and one in the living room) we added a separated electric panel box just for the unit with its own meter. We created a private entry to the unit with it's own vinyl gate and we closed it at the end of the unit with another vinyl gate and we made tile on the walkway.
