Our clients are seasoned home renovators. Their Malibu oceanside property was the second project JRP had undertaken for them. After years of renting and the age of the home, it was becoming prevalent the waterfront beach house, needed a facelift. Our clients expressed their desire for a clean and contemporary aesthetic with the need for more functionality. After a thorough design process, a new spatial plan was essential to meet the couple’s request. This included developing a larger master suite, a grander kitchen with seating at an island, natural light, and a warm, comfortable feel to blend with the coastal setting. Demolition revealed an unfortunate surprise on the second level of the home: Settlement and subpar construction had allowed the hillside to slide and cover structural framing members causing dangerous living conditions. Our design team was now faced with the challenge of creating a fix for the sagging hillside. After thorough evaluation of site conditions and careful planning, a new 10’ high retaining wall was contrived to be strategically placed into the hillside to prevent any future movements. With the wall design and build completed — additional square footage allowed for a new laundry room, a walk-in closet at the master suite. Once small and tucked away, the kitchen now boasts a golden warmth of natural maple cabinetry complimented by a striking center island complete with white quartz countertops and stunning waterfall edge details. The open floor plan encourages entertaining with an organic flow between the kitchen, dining, and living rooms. New skylights flood the space with natural light, creating a tranquil seaside ambiance. New custom maple flooring and ceiling paneling finish out the first floor. Downstairs, the ocean facing Master Suite is luminous with breathtaking views and an enviable bathroom oasis. The master bath is modern and serene, woodgrain tile flooring and stunning onyx mosaic tile channel the golden sandy Malibu beaches. The minimalist bathroom includes a generous walk-in closet, his & her sinks, a spacious steam shower, and a luxurious soaking tub. Defined by an airy and spacious floor plan, clean lines, natural light, and endless ocean views, this home is the perfect rendition of a contemporary coastal sanctuary.

Warm Modern Farmhouse

Lorin Hill, Architect

Sited on a quiet street in Palo Alto, this new home is a warmer take on the popular modern farmhouse style. Rather than high contrast and white clapboard, earthy stucco and warm stained cedar set the scene of a forever home for an active and growing young family. The heart of the home is the large kitchen and living spaces opening the entire rear of the house to a lush, private backyard. Downstairs is a full basement, designed to be kid-centric with endless spaces for entertaining. A private master suite on the second level allows for quiet retreat from the chaos and bustle of everyday. Interior Design: Jeanne Moeschler Interior Design Photography: Reed Zelezny

From Traditional to Modern: A Before & After Home Remodel

Milgard Windows & Doors

The Kiguchi family moved into their Austin, Texas home in 1994. Built in the 1980’s as part of a neighborhood development, they happily raised their family here but longed for something more contemporary. Once they became empty nesters, they decided it was time for a major remodel. After spending many years visiting Austin AIA Home Tours that highlight contemporary residential architecture, they had a lot of ideas and in 2013 were ready to interview architects and get their renovation underway. The project turned into a major remodel due to an unstable foundation. Architects Ben Arbib and Ed Hughey, of Arbib Hughey Design were hired to solve the structural issue and look for inspiration in the bones of the house, which sat on top of a hillside and was surrounded by great views. Unfortunately, with the old floor plan, the beautiful views were hidden by small windows that were poorly placed. In order to bring more natural light into the house the window sizes and configurations had to be addressed, all while keeping in mind the homeowners desire for a modern look and feel. To achieve a more contemporary and sophisticated front of house, a new entry was designed that included removing a two-story bay window and porch. The entrance of the home also became more integrated with the landscape creating a template for new foliage to be planted. Older exterior materials were updated to incorporate a more muted palette of colors with a metal roof, dark grey siding in the back and white stucco in the front. Deep eaves were added over many of the new large windows for clean lines and sun protection. “Inside it was about opening up the floor plan, expanding the views throughout the house, and updating the material palette to get a modern look that was also warm and inviting,” said Ben from Arbib Hughey Design. “Prior to the remodel, the house had the typical separation of rooms. We removed the walls between them and changed all of the windows to Milgard Thermally Improved Aluminum to connect the inside with the outside. No matter where you are you get nice views and natural light.” The architects wanted to create some drama, which they accomplished with the window placement and opening up the interior floor plan to an open concept approach. Cabinetry was used to help delineate intimate spaces. To add warmth to an all-white living room, white-washed oak wood floors were installed and pine planks were used around the fireplace. The large windows served as artwork bringing the color of nature into the space. An octagon shaped, elevated dining room, (named “the turret”), had a big impact on the design of the house. They architects rounded the corners and added larger window openings overlooking a new sunken garden. The great room was also softened by rounding out the corners and that circular theme continued throughout the house, being picked up in skylight wells and kitchen cabinetry. A staircase leading to a catwalk was added and the result was a two-story window wall that flooded the home with natural light. When asked why Milgard® Thermally Improved Aluminum windows were selected, the architectural team listed many reasons: 1) Aesthetics: “We liked the slim profiles and narrow sightlines. The window frames never get in the way of the view and that was important to us. They also have a very contemporary look that went well with our design.” 2) Options: “We liked that we could get large sliding doors that matched the windows, giving us a very cohesive look and feel throughout the project.” 3) Cost Effective: “Milgard windows are affordable. You get a good product at a good price.” 4) Custom Sizes: “Milgard windows are customizable, which allowed us to get the right window for each location.” Ready to take on your own traditional to modern home remodeling project? Arbib Hughey Design advises, “Work with a good architect. That means picking a team that is creative, communicative, listens well and is responsive. We think it’s important for an architect to listen to their clients and give them something they want, not something the architect thinks they should have. At the same time you want an architect who is willing and able to think outside the box and offer up design options that you may not have considered. Design is about a lot of back and forth, trying out ideas, getting feedback and trying again.” The home was completely transformed into a unique, contemporary house perfectly integrated with its site. Internally the home has a natural flow for the occupants and externally it is integrated with the surroundings taking advantage of great natural light. As a side note, it was highly praised as part of the Austin AIA homes tour.

ブラウンのリビング・居間 (白い壁) の写真

リビング・居間は、家族みんなが日常的に集まる場所であり、ときにはお客さまを招き入れる場所でもあります。おしゃれなインテリアのリビング・居間というのも、もちろん重要視したい点ですが、十分な収納スペースや、手に届く位置に（でも、目立たない位置に）掃除道具を置くなど、毎日の掃除や整理整頓がしやすいような工夫も必要です。豊富な居間のインテリアや間取りの写真から、理想のリビング・居間のイメージを見つけてください。

仲良し家族の秘訣はアットホームなリビングにあり

リビングは、リビングルーム（居間）、ファミリールーム（茶の間）といった、家族が集う場所を複合的に指しています。また、『シアタールーム』や『オーディオルーム』といった趣味に特化したスペースも、リビングのひとつとして分類されます。近頃『サンルーム』も人気です。リビングとつながった憩いの場として、洗濯物を干すスペースとして、使ったり、太陽光を取り入れた簡易温室としてなど、サンルームの用途は多岐にわたります。まずは、その家の顔であり象徴でもある居間から家族全員が満足できる家づくりを始めてみませんか。センスよくアットホームなリビング・居間を、ときには専門家の意見も取り入れながらつくってみましょう。居間の収納やレイアウトを見直すことで、部屋の使い勝手もよくなり、家族の仲もぐっと深まるはず！

リビング・居間の収納

居間の収納は、見せる収納と隠す収納があります。見せる収納スタイルであれば、オープン棚に趣味のアイテムを飾ったり、壁面収納に蔵書を収納する、シアタールームには人気のフローティングTVボードを取り入れてみるのもよいでしょう。リビング・居間に隠す収納を取り入れるのであれば、造作家具もアイデアの一つです。テレビやオーディオ製品のリモコンや、小物や雑貨などは、リビング内でも定位置を決めておきましょう。家族みんなが使う場所なので、気をつけていても散らかりがちな居間の収納については、インテリアデザイナーやコーディネーターといった専門家にリビングのインテリアと調和する収納家具について、相談してみるのも一つの方法です。たくさんのおしゃれなリビング・居間画像の中からお気に入りのアイデアを見つけて、家族みんながくつろげる理想のリビングづくりに、ぜひ Houzz をお役立てください。
