This project for a builder husband and interior-designer wife involved adding onto and restoring the luster of a c. 1883 Carpenter Gothic cottage in Barrington that they had occupied for years while raising their two sons. They were ready to ditch their small tacked-on kitchen that was mostly isolated from the rest of the house, views/daylight, as well as the yard, and replace it with something more generous, brighter, and more open that would improve flow inside and out. They were also eager for a better mudroom, new first-floor 3/4 bath, new basement stair, and a new second-floor master suite above. The design challenge was to conceive of an addition and renovations that would be in balanced conversation with the original house without dwarfing or competing with it. The new cross-gable addition echoes the original house form, at a somewhat smaller scale and with a simplified more contemporary exterior treatment that is sympathetic to the old house but clearly differentiated from it. Renovations included the removal of replacement vinyl windows by others and the installation of new Pella black clad windows in the original house, a new dormer in one of the son’s bedrooms, and in the addition. At the first-floor interior intersection between the existing house and the addition, two new large openings enhance flow and access to daylight/view and are outfitted with pairs of salvaged oversized clear-finished wooden barn-slider doors that lend character and visual warmth. A new exterior deck off the kitchen addition leads to a new enlarged backyard patio that is also accessible from the new full basement directly below the addition. (Interior fit-out and interior finishes/fixtures by the Owners)

This Rancho Penasquitos home got a fresh look with this paint job. The new paint makes the home look new and modern. This design was also intended to be drought tolerant so artificial grass was put in along with drought tolerant plants. Photos by John Gerson. www.choosechi.com

This handcrafted home is nestled on a golf course in the mountains, with plenty of outdoor spaces to enjoy the sweeping views. The clean lines and finishes are the perfect backdrop for the custom features of this home, including the exquisite fireplace, hand sculpted curved plaster ceiling in the study, the mirrored hexagon tiles and hammered sink in the bar, and so much more. The wine room is located just off the dining room and features floor to ceiling see-through glass doors and a stone floor. Visible from the entry, it is remarkable by design. The en suite features a pristine all-white bathroom with an entryway of it’s own flanked in custom linen closets that perfectly capture the style of the owners.

For this whole home remodel and addition project, we removed the existing roof and knee walls to construct new 1297 s/f second story addition. We increased the main level floor space with a 4’ addition (100s/f to the rear) to allow for a larger kitchen and wider guest room. We also reconfigured the main level, creating a powder bath and converting the existing primary bedroom into a family room, reconfigured a guest room and added new guest bathroom, completed the kitchen remodel, and reconfigured the basement into a media room.

Attention to detail is what makes Craftsman homes beloved and timeless. The half circle dormer, multiple gables, board and batten green shutters, and welcoming front porch beacon visitors and family to enter and feel at home here. Stacked stone column bases, stately white columns, and a slate porch evoke a sense of nostalgia and charm.
