Makeover Case Study
For people that love their neighborhood, but not necessarily their house, a home makeover is the perfect solution.
In this example, a single story house nestled on a beautifully wooded lot was renovated, including the addition of second story bedrooms without changing the horizontal character of the original house.
The
front entry was moved from an awkward, dark recess (to the left side of
the front elevation), to a series of French doors, flooding the
interior with natural light and creating a layered transparency of
sight lines through the house to the courtyard beyond.
The existing low, flat ceiling of the living room was removed, to vault the space under the original roof. Natural, rich materials of wood, stone and tile were infused, then finished off with a new dining table and chairs by Tadao Arimoto paired with a new chandelier hand made to compliment the new home.
