How We Brought This Project to Life
Designing with Elevation in Mind
Great design starts with understanding the landscape.
We reimagined the entire floor plan to take advantage of the hillside setting, incorporating natural light, scenic views, and structural resilience into every decision.
Building for Strength and Style
Structure and beauty go hand in hand.
We engineered new framing and foundation reinforcements to support a second story while delivering a striking architectural presence with new balconies, stucco blending, and modern finishes.
Crafting a Modern Interior
Comfort meets sophistication.
The interior was completely overhauled with custom cabinetry, quartz counters, walk-in closets, and spa-inspired bathrooms—all finished with smooth drywall, low-VOC paint, and rich hardwood flooring.
Upgrading What You Don’t See
Because long-term comfort depends on what’s behind the walls.
We modernized every system—plumbing, electrical, HVAC—bringing everything up to code while improving efficiency, safety, and air quality throughout the home.
