Poplar - Modern MCM

A Mid Century modern home originally built in the early 1960s by a student of Eichler. This Eichler inspired home was completely renovated and restored to meet current structural, electrical, and energy efficiency codes as it was in serious disrepair when purchased. Numerous and various design elements were inconsistent with the original architectural intent of the house from subsequent remodels as well. This project was just showcased at the 40th annual Signature kitchen tour on May 13, 2022! Check it out here: https://www.solmateo.org/signature-kitchen-tour

Colonial Revival - modern farmhouse kitchen

An expansive addition and remodel to a traditional Colonial revival two story home. We designed and added over 800 sf to the first floor: kitchen, family, guest bedroom/bath, mudroom, laundry and garage, along with upstairs additions to the kids bedrooms to incorporate new en-suite bathrooms and walk-in closets. All existing areas were also remodeled for an updated contemporary look mixed with modern farmhouse accents.

Retro modern open-plan kitchen & dining

This was a whole house major remodel to open up the foyer, dining, kitchen, and living room areas to accept a new curved staircase, custom built-in bookcases, and two sided view-thru fireplace as well as renovations to all bathrooms and basement.  Most notably, the custom glass mosaic fireplace was  inspired by LAX int'l arrival terminal tiled mosaic walls designed by artist Charles D. Kratka in the late 50's for the 1961 installation.

El Arroyo - vintage modern remodel

Spanish + Mid-century Modern

A Mid-century modern makeover to a traditional 1938 Spanish home on the historical registry. Homeowners wanted to lighten up the spaces, acquire a better, more functional furniture layout, and incorporate their love for 1950s style furnishings without compromising the architectural integrity of this house. A few rare vintage 1950s pieces along with many custom designed and fabricated pieces helped make this transformation happen.
