A renovation and interior design of a single family house in Northern California. The project is a gut renovation of an existing 1970s split-level ranch house with outdated finishes. A series of relatively dark and undistinguished formal spaces is transformed by substantially reconfiguring the existing ceilings within the existing roof lines. Previously discontinuous spaces are clustered together beneath the new ceilings and separated with lighting and subtle transitions in floor level and material. Previously choppy formal and family spaces are blended for ease of entertaining. The project includes custom cabinetry and stone work and new furnishings throughout.
