A family of five in a neighborhood they love, in a house they have outgrown. To allow them to remain in place, we reimagined their space to maximize light, functionality, and storage to create an airy, efficient and crisp family home.  



The existing one story, two bedroom, two bathroom house was completely demolished and a new two story, four bedroom and two and a half bathroom was designed to fit their family and facilitate their desired uncluttered and organized lifestyle.





Clients desired an open plan with integrated storage throughout,  a hypoallergenic environment  and a smooth flow between indoors and outdoors.

The finished home adapts to facilitate a multitude of uses, from an organized family life to large scale entertaining.
