T1 Residence & Landscape | Rancho Palos Verdes, California
This quaint one story home is an elegant jewel box of a project which marries the old of the existing established neighborhood with the new modern aesthetics of today's contemporary work. The plan has been redesigned and incorporates a generous open floor plan between the kitchen, dining and living room areas. The rear or north facing side of the home faces the backyard and views to the ocean, which were originally not taken advantage of in the original construction. Also, to emphasize the views and take advantage of the northerly exposure of natural light, the new design provides for large sliding doors and windows with transoms above. This configuration of the doors and windows provides an indoor and outdoor open feeling. A water feature and fire pit will be the focal points of the backyard. Additional attention in detailing provides a sophisticated contemporary design which emphasizes green solutions and an upgrade of modern services. This home is a true example of quality over quantity.
