From Dark & Awkward to Bright & Bespoke

Home Run Design Remodel modern kitchen remodel with large island, four chairs, white cabinets, stainless appliances, and pendant lights.

The Location is Perfect, But the Layout Isn't

The existing home presented multiple obstacles that made daily life frustrating for this active family:

Collaborative Design for a Complex Build

Using Chief Architect software, we worked closely with the family through multiple design sessions, making real-time adjustments to floor plans and creating 3D renderings to visualize the final result.

We navigated setbacks and geotechnical challenges to deliver a massive expansion, including a full second story, new garage, and spacious entryway.

4 Key Features That Redefined Their Home

Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living

A large sliding door connects the new living area to a patio with an outdoor fireplace, allowing the family to extend their living space and host guests comfortably year-round.

The Primary Bathroom Wet Room
