49th St. Residence

San Diego, CA

This 1950s home was typical of its era and split into many different smaller spaces. The family wanted to open up the living area for a space that would function well, give them line of sight to their children, and eliminate unnecessary circulation. They removed the walls to the formal dining room and family room to create a large island and bar. This transformation created a light and airy space that kept the charm, but left them with modern amenities.

The client also made modifications to their master bathroom to create a true spa feel and a walk-in closet. Having limited space, they reworked the space to function as efficiently as possible. Neutral, light tones and floor to ceiling stone made the small space feel more grand.

Additionally, the client created a custom fence and gate to maximize the yard space. This included a deck off the master suite with built-in planters. This increased the curb appeal and functionality of the backyard.
