The homeowner on this busy corner in the diverse and eclectic North Park area was seeking to create additional functional living space while also preserving the existing garage. In an area well known for limited parking and smaller lots, only one direction was really available to make this project a success – UP! The Challenge: Create a modern, functional living space in keeping with the vibrant character of North Park on top of an existing 90 year old, undersized garage. The Solution: An efficiently designed one bedroom, one bath ADU with a raked roof and ceiling line to enhance the character of the residence on the exterior while creating an expansive feel of space and light inside. This project was designed, planned, and built by Sheen Fischer and the Specialty Home Improvement team. We handle our projects from the first phone call through the final inspection.

Lovely transitional style custom home in Scottsdale, Arizona. The high ceilings, skylights, white cabinetry, and medium wood tones create a light and airy feeling throughout the home. The aesthetic gives a nod to contemporary design and has a sophisticated feel but is also very inviting and warm. In part this was achieved by the incorporation of varied colors, styles, and finishes on the fixtures, tiles, and accessories. The look was further enhanced by the juxtapositional use of black and white to create visual interest and make it fun. Thoughtfully designed and built for real living and indoor/ outdoor entertainment.

Tucked into the Claremont Canyon, this early modern home was completely remodeled. The update maximized the beautiful views of the San Francisco Bay and surrounding wildlife. Many unique details were added to make this house a home. This project was featured on the 2015 AIA East Bay Home Tour. Kuth | Ranieri Architects Matthew Millman Photography
