Family room Addition & Kitchen Remodel – Rocklin, CA

The homeowners were in need of more space, and had had enough of their narrow galley kitchen. To keep the project in line with their budget, we implemented a few cost-saving measures: first, we kept the area of the existing house affected by the remodel to a minimum: one exterior wall was removed, and the new roof line was tied in seamlessly with the existing; second, the kitchen was to remain where it was, so that the moving of plumbing and gas lines would be kept to a minimum. The kitchen was remodeled, then, but not relocated, transformed from a claustrophobic galley to a welcoming and functional space, opened up to and oriented toward the new family room. A vaulted ceiling with built-in speakers and media cabinetry above the new gas fireplace results in a spacious-feeling, uncluttered entertainment room. Three walls of windows open to trees and a woodland creek, with an angled wall for a simple entry porch at the corner. The new room incorporates the beauty of the outdoor space in its design, and so further integrates the existing house with the surrounding landscape; the result is a home where the “living spaces” can be both indoors and out, with a more unhindered flow between.
