Prickly Pear Residence

The Prickly Pear homeowners had lived in the 60s era home in Northwest Hills for nearly a decade. They loved their corner lot on a street filled with friends and - despite real estate trends - were not interested in tearing it down. With the intention of celebrating what they loved about the house (the stone, ranch style exterior and the general interior flow), I was tasked with remodeling the kids wing to accommodate a guest space and more functional bathrooms, and to add a new gentlemen’s study and primary bedroom “oasis.” The new carport afforded us the opportunity to convert the attached garage into the primary suite, larger laundry and exterior storage. A gallery hallway leading from the kitchen area complete with a bar connects guests to a private garden, the primary suite, and the cupola-topped study perfect for hosting an after dinner drink. The original den was rebuilt to accommodate higher ceilings and features white oak paneling and trimmed beams. Completed 2022.
