roche de la plage d’Ilbaritz, cette maison à l’aspect traditionnel côté rue, cache à l’arrière une façade verre et métal plus moderne donnant sur un agréable jardin arboré. La maison avait déjà subi une belle rénovation de sa pièce à vivre avec la création d’une extension vitrée sur deux niveaux. Cette large vision sur le jardin permet une décoration en perpétuel changement, variant au fil des saisons. Certains espaces ne profitant pas de cette luminosité, il a fallu apporter plus de fonctionnalité, de fluidité et de douceur pour s’accorder avec cette nature. La cuisine notamment était exiguë, reculée et sombre, l’entrée cloisonnée et la salle à manger mal située. Cette rénovation a permis de rendre la cuisine plus conviviale, fonctionnelle et lumineuse comme point de ralliement et d’échanges. Des murs porteurs ont été ouverts, des portes supprimées, une large fenêtre de toit disposée pour davantage de clarté. Les façades en bois brut contrastent avec la pose de carreaux de ciment blanc au sol et un plan de travail minéral. Des carreaux peints à la main habillent la crédence et amènent cette subtile fantaisie souhaitée par la cliente. Le mobilier sur mesure pour le banc de l’entrée, les chaises retapissées par un artisan local sur une variation de jaune sable et de bleu viennent appuyer l’atmosphère paisible et naturelle de cette maison entre ville et bord de mer.

Beach style kitchen in Orange County with open cabinets, white splashback, light hardwood floors, with island, beige floor and white benchtop.

To cultivate a sense of warmth and coziness where the family will gather, we added architectural ridge beams and rustic barn wood to the ceilings and updated the fireplace with shiplap. To surprise the client with a living room that truly got the heart of who they are as a family, we created a special nook reserved just for doing puzzles—their favorite way to spend time together.

In this total gut and reconfiguration of the kitchen and adjacent spaces, a seamless marriage of farmhouse aesthetic with materials that are already in the home create a space that integrates with the feeling of the original home. Significant changes to the layout and removal of walls has created an open concept living, larger kitchen area, and an organized and functional kitchen space. New French doors connect to the outdoors and introduce more light into the space, as well as increased recessed and accent lighting assist in generating a light-filled home. The new layout provides an open, inviting entertaining space where children can play in the den while meals are prepared on the oversized island.
