The entire exterior and interior of the home are remodeled and coordinated with a new landscape design:

  • New siding, windows, and custom designed exterior doors combine with the massing of the new addition to create a dramatic exterior that is rich in light, shadow, and texture.
  • Custom designed interior doors, unique cabinetry, and richly detailed tile work are featured throughout a spacious interior suffused with natural daylight.
  • A new 8.4 KW solar electric system is integrated into the existing and new roof areas. It provides a substantial amount of the home’s peak power requirements and feeds excess power back into the PG&E grid during low use periods. It also provides a substantial emergency power reserve that minimizes the possibility of disruption due to future uncertainties in the reliability of public utility services.
