From the Architect: The Bay Space’s brown shingle homes have been designed to have a good time relationships with others and with the outside. Coined “the unique occasion homes,” they usually had massive areas for entertaining, sleeping porches, and doorways that opened extensive to understand the backyard and the Bay Space’s gentle local weather. Modified through the years with out regard to its unique spirit, this house in Piedmont had no massive gathering areas and a very enclosed again façade with no connection to the yard. The renovation of this 4,000 square-foot house centered on reviving this unique spirit of connection, creating fluid areas for modern household life and a renewed relationship with the outside. A beneficiant new deck and twenty-seven-foot opening create a seamless out of doors extension of the kitchen and eating area. A metal and wooden awning supplies shade for the late summer season hours when the solar is at its strongest. Vertical traces create visible connectivity all through, seen within the quarter-sawn oak partitions and cedar slat deck railings. The patterns proceed within the kitchen, the place a sturdy block of stone with etched vertical traces anchors the kitchen, surrounded by navy and white kitchen cabinetry with reliefed paneling. Sidell Pakravan is liable for each structure and inside design.
