This year, our design firm had the pleasure of completing a truly remarkable project in Loomis,
California. The home, originally built decades ago, was ready for a comprehensive
transformation to meet the modern needs and aesthetic preferences of its owners. What began as
a dated and compartmentalized structure was completely reimagined into a timeless and
charming sanctuary, brimming with bespoke details and high-quality materials.
The Vision and Scope of the Project
The scope of the project was nothing short of ambitious. The home was taken down to the studs,
allowing us to start with a clean slate. The existing layout, characterized by small, disconnected
rooms, was entirely reconfigured. We moved walls, opened up spaces, and created a more
cohesive floor plan that allows natural light to flood every corner of the home. The result is a
bright, airy environment that feels both expansive and intimate.
The homeowners were clear in their vision: they wanted a design that married the classic charm
of a timeless home with the functionality and sophistication of modern living. Our goal was to
incorporate design elements that would not only stand the test of time but also infuse the home
with warmth, character, and a sense of history. From custom cabinetry to luxury lighting, every
detail was meticulously considered to ensure a cohesive and elegant result that would remain
beautiful and relevant for years to come.
Design Details: A Blend of Beauty and Functionality
One of the standout features of the home is the custom cabinetry designed specifically for the
kitchen and adjoining living space. The cabinetry was crafted to blend seamlessly with the
overall design, offering both beauty and practicality. In the kitchen, for instance, the cabinetry
was tailored to maximize storage while maintaining a clean and refined appearance. We chose
warm wood tones to carefully tie together an expansive open area, providing a warm contrast to
the sleek quartzite countertops, which were selected not only for their durability but also for their
natural beauty and unique veining.
Hardwood flooring throughout the home adds a sense of continuity and timelessness. The natural
grain and texture of the wood bring an organic feel to the interiors, grounding the more polished
elements of the design. This choice of flooring not only complements the overall aesthetic but
also adds to the home’s longevity, as hardwood is a material that ages gracefully.
In the entryway, we introduced checkered marble floors that immediately set the tone for the rest
of the home. The subtle veining and luxurious finish of the marble create a sophisticated first
impression, while its durability ensures that it will continue to look beautiful for years to come.
The marble also serves as a striking contrast to the warmer, more textured elements in the
adjacent rooms, adding depth and interest to the overall design.
The kitchen, often considered the heart of the home, was designed to be both functional and
visually stunning. One of the highlights of this space is the handmade Zellige tile we selected for
the backsplash. These tiles, with their artisanal quality and unique texture, add depth and character to the space, while the neutral tones keep the overall look timeless. Paired with high-
end appliances and stunning lighting fixtures, the kitchen is a perfect blend of form and function —a space where the homeowners can cook, entertain, and gather in style.
The Design Process: From Concept to Completion
Our design process began with an in-depth consultation with the homeowners to understand their
vision, preferences, and lifestyle. This initial phase is crucial, as it sets the foundation for the
entire project. We took the time to discuss their desires for an open, light-filled home with classic
yet modern touches. From there, we moved into the concept development phase, where we
created mood boards and preliminary layouts to capture the essence of the design.
Once the overall direction was established, we delved into the finer details of space planning and
material selection. Every element, from the type of flooring to the fixtures and finishes, was
carefully chosen to align with the desired aesthetic. We presented our clients with a
comprehensive design, including detailed plans, material samples, and renderings, to ensure that
their vision was being realized.
During the implementation phase, we worked closely with the client to bring the design to life.
Our primary goal in the build phase is to ensure that the execution is flawless (mission
accomplished). This collaborative approach ensured that the project stayed on track and that the
final result exceeded our clients’ expectations.
The Result: A Home Reimagined
The completed home in Loomis is a testament to the power of thoughtful design. Every detail
contributes to a space that is both timeless and charming. The homeowners now enjoy a home
that not only meets their functional needs but also serves as a beautiful, welcoming environment
where they can create lasting memories.
This project exemplifies our firm’s commitment to delivering designs that are as enduring as they
are elegant, blending classic elements with modern sophistication to create spaces that truly stand
the test of time. From the initial concept to the final touches, every aspect of this project was
handled with the utmost care and attention to detail, resulting in a home that is as functional as it
is beautiful—a space where the past and present coexist harmoniously.
