Complete exterior makeover of an existing home in Diablo, CA. Original house featured T1-11 siding, cramped entry, and little architectural detail (see Before & After photos). There is very little addition (the covered porch with arched openings at far right is an addition), but the exterior facade is completely reinvented. A more generous entry porch with terra cotta steps is added. There is little usable yard at the rear because of a hill, so the front yard is used for entertaining, facing the 18th fairway of the golf course across the private drive. The teal ceramic wall tile is a water feature.
