Mosquito Creek
Home Renovation
Finalist 2013
Our clients loved this older home, especially the backyard setting, but the interior needed help. Living Radius Architecture designed this beautiful transformation. The new front entry received a new softened look, while the back half was raised by five feet, without affecting the streetscape view. Cedar siding and stucco retained the look, but upgraded building envelope. A new roof, fascias, trim and entry door updated the home. The new and existing finishes blend seamlessly.
The previous 60’s plan was dysfunctional with a small dining room and cramped galley-styled kitchen. An old wood fireplace was removed from the middle of the room and moved to an outside wall. This transformed the home into an open-concept design and with the raising of the ceiling, the results are amazing!
Modern cabinets are a custom-modified shaker style with flush-front and crisp reveal in vertical-grained white oak. An over-sized island serves as a breakfast bar, food prep station and gathering point for friends and family!
The transition is completed with a full folding glass door system seamlessly combining indoor and outdoor living.
