Inspiration for a 1950s living room remodel in San Luis Obispo

We chose to reskin the house with a black and white stucco exterior along with meranti wood siding, durable and rich in color, to highlight the architectural angles of the home. The project was a massive feat of engineering as it involved building on a slope of fill that required steel piles driven 20 feet down to support a new cantilevered indoor/outdoor living space. No detail was left untouched, from design and construction to furnishing the finished spaces. Nestled amongst the treetops, the property begged for access to the outdoors. We removed a small, difficult to access, dilapidated deck and created a huge covered indoor/outdoor space off the dining room and kitchen complete with sky lights and heaters to dine outside year round.

A breathtaking hilltop view of the Pacific was the reference point for this dramatic landscape transformation. The Campion Walker team utilized succulents, water falls, textured concrete and steel to integrate the house and the raw untouched land surrounding it.

This Tonka Bay home was built in 1956 by commercial architect Jackson Griswold. The home was practically untouched until his death in 2009. His Heirs started remodeling the home in 2010 but exhausted their budget and soon ran out of the desire to finish the home. The house was purchased by a developer in late 2011 and Excelsior Design Group was commissioned in 2012 to design a combination remodel/restoration of this Frank Lloyd Wright inspired rambler

This master suite truly embodies the essence of “Suite Sophistication”. Each detail was designed to highlight the refined aesthetic of this room. The gray toned color scheme created an atmosphere of sophistication, highlighted by touches of lavender and deep purples for rich notes. We surrounded the room in exquisite custom millwork on each wall, adding texture and elegance. Above the bed we created millwork that would exactly feature the curves of the headboard. Topped with custom bedding and pillows the bed perfectly reflects both the warm and cool tones of the room. As the eye moves to the corner, it holds alluring lush seating for our clients to lounge in after a long day, beset by two impeccable gold and beaded chandeliers. From this bedroom our client may slide their detailed pocket doors, decorated with Victorian style windowpanes, and be transported into their own dream closet. We left no detail untouched, creating space in lighted cabinets for his & her wardrobes, including custom fitted spaces for all shoes and accessories. Embellished with our own design accessories such as grand glass perfume bottles and jewelry displays, we left these clients wanting for nothing. This picturesque master bedroom and closet work in harmony to provide our clients with the perfect space to start and end their days in a picture of true sophistication.
