This project consisted of remodeling a small tri-
level lake home, built in 1942. The homeowners
had dreamed of a light-filled retreat that would take
advantage of the lake views and be as green as
possible in its creation. The project took "reduce,
reuse, recycle" to a new level with much of the
home's original elements being set aside and
repurposed in new, inventive ways. The home was
expanded with the addition of two bathrooms, a
master bedroom suite with walk-out lakeside
decks, a yoga room, an open-concept living room
and kitchen on ground level, and a new, detached
three-car garage with heated workshop.

NEXT STAGE DESIGN + BUILD
SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA
The master bath in this penthouse needed a universal
design update to accommodate a homeowner with limited
mobility. The goal was to create a luxurious, obstacle-free
space for the homeowner to easily navigate with access to
basic bathroom functions. Because of the home's twenty-
second floor location, all changes had to remain within the
existing footprint and plumbing locations could not change.
The tub space was converted into a curbless walk-in shower
with quartzite shower walls, a built-in bench, hand-held
shower, and easy-reach grab bars. The custom walnut vanity
includes one set of doors that fully retract, providing full
access to the vanity sink, and gold-tone faucet fixtures with
touchless technology.
