Designing for Connection

This remodel started with a vision: a true family home where every space invites connection and movement. The first step was expanding the living area, creating more room for gathering and a layout that could keep up with an active household. The backyard became its own world. An outdoor kitchen for family meals, a vegetable garden for weekend harvests, and a pickleball court for friendly matches turned it into a year-round destination. Every detail was designed to draw people outside and keep the energy flowing.Inside, one of the most transformative changes was replacing the closed-off staircase with a glass design. The previous layout interrupted the natural flow of the home and cut off the view from one space to another. Opening the staircase created an immediate sense of connection between levels, allowing light to travel freely and giving the home a more open, modern feel.

A Clever Use of Space

We also looked at how the private spaces could work harder for the family. En-suites are increasingly important for both comfort and privacy, especially in busy households. Rather than adding on, we worked within the home’s existing footprint, combining two underused closets to create a new bathroom. The result was a space that felt intentional and integrated, adding function and value without the cost and complexity of expanding the structure.

Where Comfort Meets Community

The front yard was given just as much attention. A comfortable sitting area welcomes neighbors and offers a spot to enjoy the community. If the past few years have taught us anything, it is that the front yard can be as much of a destination as the back. The result is a home that balances action and retreat, connection and privacy—a place built for both the everyday and the extraordinary moments in family life.
