Residential Remodel
This whole house remodel rejuvenated a 110 year old, historic home. Lacking an adequate foundation and more than a century of use and abuse, the original floors throughout the home undulated significantly. These conditions created the need for an extensive structural remodel. Another major goal was to restore the Arts and Crafts design created by well-known Santa Barbara architect Francis Wilson at the turn of the century. Existing windows and French doors were restored or replaced. New, wide-planked oak floors were installed and hand distressed, fitting the home’s age and original design. The original kitchen received all new cabinets, countertops, and appliances. New French doors added abundant natural light and created a connection to the extensive outdoor patios and gardens. A new stone fireplace was added in the master bathroom, duplicating the four existing fireplaces in other parts of the house that were refurbished. (Architect: Sorrell Design)
