Avenue B

Complete Renovation, Redondo Beach

This house was completely dismantled down to the bare studs.  We removed some bearing walls to create an open space in the living room, kitchen, and dining room, and create cathedral ceilings.  We added more living area for the master suite and changed the layout of the rest of the rooms and bathrooms.

LIVING ROOM

This remodel included changing all the windows, making the place better lit; front door re-located, new direct-vent fireplace, built-in seating and cabinetry were added. We created cathedral ceilings with decorative exposed beams and tongue-and-groove ceiling to make it grand.

This is how the living room was in the beginning!

This is our proposed design: vaulted ceilings, decorative exposed beams, new windows, a fireplace, built-in cabinetry and seating.

Construction was done the right way, changing the necessary roof framing to make it spacious.

PANTRY

It turned out that our client had very clear and specific ideas of how she wanted to organize her home.  It was easy to listen to her and turn her ideas into precise drawings.  The result was exactly what she was expecting.

DINING

This included changing all the windows, built-in seating, and a great place to work.

Before project start

In the beginning this space was a small dungy laundry room on a low level than the rest of the house.

Proposed design

This is our proposed design: vaulted ceilings, decorative exposed beams, new windows, floor leveled, built-in seating, a cozy work space.

During construction

The wall between the existing kitchen and the low leveled laundry was demolished.

Completed

This is the completed dining room. A well lit beautiful space where one wants to eat and work, or just have a nice time.

SMART HOME SYSTEM

We wired the house to have seamless internet access throughout every room and patio by installing several Wi-Fi hot spots so that every wireless device has a strong connection.  Every TV has an Apple TV with a wired connection so that the wireless devices are not affected.  We installed a 4k video security camera system that records video locally.   

MASTER BEDROOM

This space was completely remodeled, and made bigger. A walking closet and bathroom with a beautiful free standing tub was added, definitely a great place to rest

Before project start

This space was a small room with tiny bathroom

COVERED PATIO

We covered the rear patio and built a custom BBQ.

Originally this place was empty, without any special features

We added a family room to the house by framing over a concrete slab in the rear yard

This is the best place to spend time with family and friends

Custom Pipe Metal Cover

Our client did not want to see a cold, complicated, and industrial-looking pipe installation while enjoying her rear patio.  It took some creativity to address her request.  We brainstormed and proposed a custom-built metal cover.  She was happy and satisfied with the result.
