The client approached us to thoughtfully remodel his beloved mid century ranch home that he had purchased from the original owner who built the home in 1955. While the home had amazing bones and history, it had never undergone any renovations since original construction.
Relocation and upgrading of all mechanicals throughout home with a focus on energy efficiency and performance. Several home monitoring systems were installed as well to detect potential leaks and energy use and protect the clients investment. Custom LED lighting was used to create ambient light in the public spaces without adding exposed fixtures to the house.
Two main goals for the project were to bring the home into the modern era for a more comfortable and grown up living experience while maintaining details that were consistent to the original home. The second was to source as many materials as possible from California. The homeowner, a bay area transplant, is the embodiment of the California lifestyle and enjoyed the process of connecting his home to the golden state.
Original louvered closets were restored and paired with custom interior built ins.
Exposed aggregate concrete floors seamlessly flow throughout the home.

Before
The home was taken down to the studs and the original concrete slab was removed for foundation upgrades, new drains and mechanicals under-slab. Gentle changes were made to the floor-plan to open up the space and bring in more natural light and create a more cohesive experience.
