A once-gracious traditional home is transformed from a tired, compartmentalized vestige of better days into a free-flowing, light-filled expanse of interconnected living areas. Space flows unimpeded through the Living Room, Family Room, Kitchen, and extends outdoors to embrace the 300+ year old Oak and giant Redwood trees in the rear yard. The choice of exterior treatments is rooted in the vocabulary of existing building elements which remain, but with a new and decidedly contemporary spin. The interiors are rendered in a clean, modern aesthetic that resonates with the unconstrained feeling of the wide-open layout.
