The kitchen is as minimalist as the rest of the house. A metal mesh curtain provides a subtle division between work and living areas. The curtain is retractable and stores out of the way in a wall pocket when not is use. Photo: Ben Rahn

The pool house introduced a vaulted metal roof, which was repeated in the stone wall capturing the pool and the roof of the dining pavilion. The curves tied the new elements of the landscape together as well as softened the lines of the structure.

Remodeling and adding on to a classic pristine 1960’s ranch home is a challenging opportunity. Our clients were clear that their own sense of style should take precedence, but also wanted to honor the home’s spirit. Our solution left the original home as intact as possible and created a linear element that serves as a threshold from old to new. The steel “spine” fulfills the owners’ desire for a dynamic contemporary environment, and sets the tone for the addition. The original kidney pool retains its shape inside the new outline of a spacious rectangle. At the owner’s request each space has a “little surprise” or interesting detail.

The living room features high ceilings, tall windows and lots of light. Clear finish plywood panels on the ceiling and wall and bamboo on the floor provide warmth while the steel-clad fireplace with LED accent lighting is the focus of the room. photo: Alex Hayden

The glass roll-up doors on the lower level allow spaces that are moderate in their square footage to flow uninterrupted into the exterior (both the central courtyard as well as a landscaped patio in the front of the property) to expand the livable area of the house without constructing additional square footage. @Grey Crawford
