After and Before
New indoor ‘box’ space is separated from LR- a place to greet and hang coats / bumpout’s door opens North rather than West into the wind, rain. Raised shed roof maintains streamlined ranch profile while preserving sunlight and views -for LR kitchen. Slanted steel columns support the open structure and prevent lift of the roof.

The living space extends out to functional places in the back and front yards: a private shaded back yard and a sunny seating area in the front yard off the kitchen where neighbors can easily mingle with the family. A Japanese bath off the master bedroom upstairs overlooks a private roof deck which is screened from neighbors’ views by a trellis with plants growing from planter boxes and with lanterns hanging from a trellis above.

REBORN CABINETS REFACING -- It makes a dramatic change when we rethink our space just a little -- by removing hanging cabinets, this kitchen opened up very nicely. The light through pre-existing French doors could shine into the adjacent family room. ORANGE COUNTY IRVINE

Although there was a front patio a new deck was added to it, extending it out from the house to an acute angle, like a ship's prow. This affords one a greater view of the valley and bay beyond. Redwood planks, 2x6, were installed with a 3/4" gap between them, to accent the geometry and to provide horizontal 'pull' counterbalance to the new vertical emphasis of the windows, stucco screed lines, and chimney.
Existing roof eave overhangs remained, but the old plywood sheathing was replaced with 6" TONGUE AND GROOVE REDWOOD. This, with the redwood-sided deck, adds warmth and texture to the minimalist aesthetic, complimenting and echoing the hills and forest beyond.

AFTER: Front elevation. Although the home's footprint was retained, with only the addition of a cantilevered window seat in the front master bedroom, the exterior materials, windows, doors, roofing, deck were replaced. New Alumatherm aluminum windows, Jeld Wen doors, smooth finish stucco with integral color. Windows were rearranged to a more integral composition that helps tie the exterior together. New low-maintenance arid climate landscaping replaces the Astroturf 'lawn'. The existing steps are clad in California Gold 12x12 slate. Existing retaining walls are painted to match the new stucco.
View of kitchen from family room: Previously an isolated room, the kitchen is now open to the rest of the house. An 8' ceiling defines the kitchen's area, and the curved island anchors it. The Pele pendant lights repeat the circular motif of the home.
lighting! 4 sconces, 2 pendants, recessed.

10 x 14' and walls were removed / wood ceiling beams delineate the dining area on one side of the kitchen and the family room on the other. Wood counter stools create some rustic charm. Just about everything is awash in white, including the cabinets, countertops, backsplash and walls. Slate floor.
