This full remodel project reimagines a 1950’s ranch house as a bright and open modern home. Major elements of the transformation include vaulting the previously flat, 8 foot ceiling throughout the main living space, adding skylights, expanding the rear glass facade and recombining bedrooms to create a primary suite.
Vaulting the ceiling dramatically opens up the space. A large skylight, perfectly aligns over the kitchen island, bringing year-round natural light.
Materials like rift-sawn white oak flooring were carefully selected to create both a hard-wearing and beautiful space. Ribbed glass cabinets, an etched glass backsplash, and natural stone countertops create a harmonious material palette throughout the kitchen.
The original home did not include a primary suite. Headlands reconfigured the bedroom and bath layout, combining multiple rooms to create a primary suite.
The residence, a one acre property in unincorporated Sonoma County, was conceived with wildfire protection as a defining principle. Fire-smart design decisions include an unvented metal roof, non-combustible exterior siding, strategically detailed decking, and planned landscaping.
