This project completely transforms an existing property by renovating its main house, turning a two-car garage into a 1,500-square-foot guest suite, and adding elements including an outdoor kitchen and entertaining area, a formal motor court with a fountain, and a cabana that hosts a full spa. New stepped courtyards will act as outdoor rooms that connect the complex of buildings into a cohesive family compound. The design also adds a new two bedroom accessory dwelling unit (ADU), a 500-square-foot gym, and a 1,500-square-foot five-car garage with car stackers. The spa includes a sauna, steam room, cold plunge, and massage room. Land use approval was just granted, a major milestone on the way to construction. The project is expected to break ground in Spring 2025.
