Inside, the floor plan is reorganized to create distinct public and private areas. The kitchen opens to the entry, living area, dining area, and patio. A material palette of stone, walnut, and painted woodwork is utilized throughout the spaces. An existing brick fireplace is refaced with limestone and acts as an anchor to the renovations surrounding it on four sides. Brightly colored yellow accents provide orientation amid the shifting perspectives within the home.
Large double doors off the kitchen open onto the new patio where tile, concrete, and planting enclose the space. With such direct connection, the parties easily flow from inside to out! Montclair Residence exudes a playful, rich, and light-filled flow emblematic of modern California living.
