The GoalA fresh look after five yearsA classic Westlake Hills home with a big open layout, high ceilings, and good bones. After five years of living with it, they wanted an organic, earthy, California-Santa Fe feel, all within the existing footprint.
The ChallengeA kitchen that did not fit how they liveAn awkward two-level bar, a tiny island, a cramped vent hood, and no continuous counter anywhere. Walled off on both sides, in a home made for entertaining.
What We DidBetter floor plan flow and room functionWe reworked the kitchen so it opened to the dining room and actually functioned for the family, then brought a warm, cohesive look to every space we touched, including a new spa bath upstairs.
