Overview

This project involves the demolition of an existing structure and construction of a new single-family residence designed to harmonize classic architectural character with modern comfort. The design emphasizes natural light, material richness, and functional flow, with a distinctive front bay that enhances both interior experience and exterior curb appeal. Stone veneer detailing adds warmth and texture, while smooth stucco and architectural roofing provide a refined, durable finish. Inside, the home is organized to balance openness in shared areas with privacy in the bedroom zones, creating a residence that feels both inviting and thoughtfully composed.

Client Type

The project was commissioned by a private homeowner seeking to replace an aging structure with a new, efficient, and visually appealing residence. The client’s priorities included optimizing natural light, achieving a timeless design aesthetic, and incorporating adaptable spaces that can evolve with future needs—such as provisions for a potential garage addition.

Project Scope

Challenges Addressed

Designing within the constraints of the site and replacing an existing structure required careful coordination between demolition, grading, and new construction. The team faced the challenge of optimizing light and space within the available footprint while maintaining a cohesive material palette. Balancing traditional detailing with a contemporary layout also required thoughtful design integration to ensure both aesthetic and functional success.
