The client sought to transform their home’s exterior style from Spanish to Austrian Alpine—a significant and exciting architectural shift. This project presented unique challenges, as changing the character of an existing home requires careful consideration of structural, aesthetic, and functional elements. Through an in-depth concept design process, we developed a comprehensive plan to achieve the client’s vision while enhancing the home’s usability.

Key components of the design include adding a covered patio to extend outdoor living space, constructing a second-floor Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) above the garage for additional living quarters, and redesigning the roof on the upper level to reflect the distinct Austrian Alpine style. These elements work together to create a cohesive, transformed exterior that respects the original structure while delivering the dramatic style change the client desired.

Below are renderings that illustrate the design concept. Stay tuned for final photos once the project is complete!
