Contemporary Design for a Whole Home Transformation
Set against Bay Park’s sunny backdrop, this modern remodel turns a dated 1960s house into an airy, view-oriented retreat. Clean lines, warm organic tones, and a carefully re-imagined layout now create seamless flow from room to room, proving that good design can feel both sophisticated and effortlessly livable.
Hall Bath Shower Walls: Market Street White, horizontal porcelain offset — timeless subway look, laid to emphasize width and light.
Hall Bath Shower Accent Band: Bedrosians Le Café Star & Cross Black mosaic — a bold graphic stripe that anchors the entire bath design.
Fireplace Feature Wall: Havenwood Dove Chevron mosaic — warm driftwood hues meet modern V-pattern movement.
Wine & Beverage Center: A two-door, dual-zone SommSeries cooler keeps vintages and sparkling waters at the perfect temperature.
Statement Lighting: The West Elm Sculptural 2-Light Geo Sconce brings modern geometry and a soft, ambient glow.

Objective
Transform a compartmentalized mid-century floor plan into a bright, modern hub for family life and entertaining, maximizing San Diego’s natural light while future-proofing the home for long-term comfort. By rethinking every square foot, we’ve turned once-underused rooms into a cohesive sanctuary that elevates daily living, invites effortless gatherings, and adds enduring value to the property.
From Dated to Delightful: A Whole-Home Transformation
Before: In the “Before” image, you see the original front façade, with plain stucco walls, a dated garage door, and minimal landscaping. Boxy rooms and narrow hallways blocked natural light and made daily routines feel cramped.
After: In the “After” image, you see the refreshed exterior — crisp paint, a sleek new garage door, and lush plantings framing the driveway. Strategic wall removal and full-height glazing now flood the home with sunlight and canyon views, while integrated storage keeps every room clutter-free.
The Challenge: Opening Up a 1960s Footprint
Create an open concept without expanding the footprint, incorporate aging-in-place strategies, and honor the homeowners’ wish for minimalist warmth, while working within the constraints of a 1960s structure.
Our Solution: Strategic Layout Shifts for Everyday Ease
A top-to-bottom reconfiguration moved key functional zones, relocated the laundry, and added a discrete home office. Durable luxury materials—Timber Dusk LVP, Calacatta Arno quartz, and porcelain mosaics—deliver both style and longevity. Custom cabinetry and hidden storage maintain a serene, streamlined aesthetic.
Project Highlights
Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living: Full-height sliders and a chevron-tiled fireplace draw the eye toward sweeping views.
Attention to Detail: From decorative geo sconces to the star-and-cross shower band, every element was curated for cohesion.
