The owners of this property had been away from the Bay Area for many years, and looked forward to returning to an elegant mid-century modern house. The one they bought was anything but that. Faced with a “remuddled” kitchen from one decade, a haphazard bedroom / family room addition from another, and an otherwise disjointed and generally run-down mid-century modern house, the owners asked Klopf Architecture and Envision Landscape Studio to re-imagine this house and property as a unified, flowing, sophisticated, warm, modern indoor / outdoor living space for a family of five. Opening up the spaces internally and from inside to out was the first order of business. The formerly disjointed eat-in kitchen with 7 foot high ceilings were opened up to the living room, re-oriented, and replaced with a spacious cook's kitchen complete with a row of skylights bringing light into the space. Adjacent the living room wall was completely opened up with La Cantina folding door system, connecting the interior living space to a new wood deck that acts as a continuation of the wood floor. People can flow from kitchen to the living / dining room and the deck seamlessly, making the main entertainment space feel at once unified and complete, and at the same time open and limitless. Klopf opened up the bedroom with a large sliding panel, and turned what was once a large walk-in closet into an office area, again with a large sliding panel. The master bathroom has high windows all along one wall to bring in light, and a large wet room area for the shower and tub. The dark, solid roof structure over the patio was replaced with an open trellis that allows plenty of light, brightening the new deck area as well as the interior of the house. All the materials of the house were replaced, apart from the framing and the ceiling boards. This allowed Klopf to unify the materials from space to space, running the same wood flooring throughout, using the same paint colors, and generally creating a consistent look from room to room. Located in Lafayette, CA this remodeled single-family house is 3,363 square foot, 4 bedroom, and 3.5 bathroom.

This three-storey, semi-detached residential concept explores a contemporary approach to urban living, combining bold architectural forms with thoughtful design and integrated outdoor spaces. The design features clean geometric lines, expansive windows, contrasting exterior finishes, and a series of balconies and terraces that add depth and visual interest to the building. A landscaped rooftop introduces a unique natural element, softening the modern architecture while creating a distinctive architectural feature. Particular attention was given to the building's proportions, exterior detailing, and relationship to the surrounding residential neighbourhood. The layered building forms and carefully considered material palette create a modern aesthetic while maintaining a sense of residential character. Although the project did not progress beyond the Development Permit stage, it remains a design we're particularly proud of and an example of Studio Wolf Designs' commitment to creative, thoughtful residential design.
