Cali Remodel Leaves The 80s, Adds 800 Square-feet

When designers finished with this La Cañada Flintridge remodel, the results were immediate and impressive. But the Form Environment Research Studio team’s work is even more spectacular when you take a took at the 1980s shell they were given as a starting point. More than 800 square-feet was added to the three-bedroom home, giving it a total floor plan of 3,500 square-feet. The master bedroom was completely rehabed, as was the front wall and entry area. The kitchen was reoriented and opened to the living room, and freshly furnished with a stainless steel counters, raised ceilings and new skylights, which were also added in the bedrooms. The new master suite was tacked on to the back of the home, designed to accommodate an existing pool and a new courtyard. [via contemporist]
