Residence Remodel
san ramon, ca
a little background
Project Information
The client wanted to open the closed kitchen to an informal, but large and open, dining area to their family room. However, there were multiple walls dividing up these spaces, plus a powder room in the middle of it all which needed to be moved.
Originally, the client wanted to keep the traditionally separated dining room. However, when I shared my alternate idea of opening the whole back of the house to have a larger kitchen, they were thrilled with the concept.

Project Challenges
The clients also wanted to have a kitchen island, however, the overall width of the existing space was too narrow to allow for a properly sized island of any use. In the end, the client chose to go with a raised peninsula for casual dining instead.
When the job was about 75% complete in construction, the contractor they hired resigned and left the job. I assisted the client in working with a new contractor to complete the project as they had intended.

Project Solutions
In order to accomplish the open living area, walls had to be moved and the coat closet, pantry, and powder room all had to be relocated. Their lower level powder room was tucked it away under the stairs, and the coat closet and pantry are now near the dining room area.
Throughout the project, contemporary building materials were used such as travertine, granite counters, and soft modern colors the client received a more modern and brighter feel for the main level of their home.
