Modest on the outside, magnificent on the inside.

The clients started the design conversation sharing how much they love their community. The intention of the project was to have the street facing exterior lean into the more traditional language of the neighborhood while unfolding to present the sparkling jewel inside. 

We restored the original skin of house with new windows and doors, stucco, and painted wood details while the interiors express the creative, imaginative, dynamic clients using their aesthetic collections as an integral part of the design.

MFA gutted the existing plan comprising a collection of smaller spaces, reconfigured the layout, and customized the space to fit the owners’ needs by removing walls, shifting hallways, framing views, and sometimes raising ceilings. For example, the formerly landlocked main bedroom shifted to the back corner so they can wake up enveloped by the lush garden.  The airy eat-in kitchen with cozy couch, bar and wine room combines the old galley kitchen/dining/den/closet. The open area allows for cooking, entertaining, and parties with a visual and physical flow to the rear yard. This is a place for their friends and family to share and love it as much as they do.
