One of our most challenging projects — navigating Coastal Commission regulations, a 100-year-old structure, and challenging budget within estate-planning limits to remain a remodel and addition rather than a new build. The design is simple yet technically complex, maximizing every inch of a compact footprint. A true lesson in creativity, compliance, and craftsmanship — proving that thoughtful design can make small spaces extraordinary.
Keeping it simple and pure
Design & Build Inspiration: Built in the 1920s and passed down through generations, this home carries nearly a century of history within its walls.As the third house built on the block, our client was fortunate to purchase it from the original owners. Our goal was to honor its legacy — keeping the exterior true to the local aesthetic while refining the interiors to feel timeless, simple, and built to last another hundred years.
"We wanted this place to feel like a sanctuary — calm, grounded, and deeply connected to its past."
