715 Clubhouse

A stunning kitchen make-over in Rio Del Mar

CLUBHOUSE DRIVE

This was a top-to-bottom remodel. By opening up the kitchen walls, expanding the great room, and adding patio doors to the master bedroom, we did more than update this beach home for modern living. We also highlighted the home's best feature — breathtaking views of the ocean.

"One of the things we that really liked about working with Len and the team is that they would always listen to what we were asking to have done and help us understand how it could be done. But they would also share with us great ideas about other things that we could do. And oftentimes we definitely went the direction that they suggested."

Keeping the integrity of the existing style is important to us — and this Rio Del Mar cabin remodel is a perfect example of that.

For this special bathroom update, we preserved the essence of the original lathe and plaster walls by using a nickel gap wall treatment. The decorative floor tile and a pebbled shower call to mind the history of the house and its beach location.

The marble counter, and custom towel ladder, add a natural, modern finish to the room that match the homeowner's unique designer flair.

The owners of this beachfront retreat wanted a whole-home remodel. They were looking to revitalize their three-story vacation home with an exterior inspired by Japanese woodcraft and an interior the evokes Scandinavian simplicity. Now, the open kitchen and living room offer an energetic space for the family to congregate while enjoying a 360 degree coastal views.

Built-in bunkbeds for six ensure there’s enough sleeping space for visitors, while the outdoor shower makes it easy for beachgoers to rinse off before hitting the deckside hot tub. It was a joy to help make this vision a reality!

We collaborated with the home owner and architect Tim Doudna on this unique Aptos beach home remodel.

We added a downstairs kitchenette for the kids and guests, and added built-in cabinets for the master suite. Luxurious details were also built, including a sauna, a wine bar, an outdoor shower, and  a private-entry patio.

Tim designed architectural features, such as frameless glass railings that allow for unobstructed views of the ocean from the living room, kitchen, and master suite.

Swinging Bed

SWINGING BED

A nicely finished deck, patio, or special garden feature -- such as this swinging bed -- can be a true haven for families, creating extra space for eating, playing or relaxing.

It's been eight years since we built this swinging bed and it’s still one of our most talked about projects. And it's no wonder: The pergola's redwood posts and beams give this feature a natural look while securing a perfect, peaceful retreat.
