This 1920s Mediterranean home had
good bones and most of its original
architectural detailing intact. However, a
misguided 1970s kitchen remodel and
family room addition stuck out like a sore
thumb. To make matters worse, the
family room's main access was through
the laundry. Relocating the laundry and
shifting the kitchen allowed for an
entertainment center to act as a transition
from kitchen to family room. Historically
appropriate details were added to the
family room making for a seamless
connection between old and new. The
enlarged kitchen contains every modern
convenience while retaining period
personality. Finally, a rear courtyard was
added just off of the family room to create
a smooth transition from indoors to
outdoors.
