Imagine That Kitchens + BathsClients’ Design Objective: To update the kitchen of this 70-year-old home to better accommodate a growing family.
The Challenge: Major obstacles to this update included small rooms, too many doors, a plumbing stack located near the center of the room and an ill-placed chimney.
The Solution:
By closing one door, moving another, and removing the wall between the kitchen and breakfast nook, the clients created a larger kitchen with improved traffic flow and additional storage. The new hallway houses a pantry with recycling bins and a broom cabinet with a side opening for a built-in television on a pullout swivel shelf. A pullout spice cabinet, built-in microwave above the appliance garage, and cozy banquet with storage below all maximize storage space. A shallow, infrequently used closet is now a functional mudroom. The finishing touch includes a showpiece buffet with seeded glass cabinet doors that also serves as the buffet for the dining room.

Mark Brand ArchitectureFor this remodel in Portola Valley, California we were hired to rejuvenate a circa 1980 modernist house clad in deteriorating vertical wood siding. The house included a greenhouse style sunroom which got so unbearably hot as to be unusable. We opened up the floor plan and completely demolished the sunroom, replacing it with a new dining room open to the remodeled living room and kitchen. We added a new office and deck above the new dining room and replaced all of the exterior windows, mostly with oversized sliding aluminum doors by Fleetwood to open the house up to the wooded hillside setting. Stainless steel railings protect the inhabitants where the sliding doors open more than 50 feet above the ground below. We replaced the wood siding with stucco in varying tones of gray, white and black, creating new exterior lines, massing and proportions. We also created a new master suite upstairs and remodeled the existing powder room.
