A true tale of the ugly duckling transformed into a swan, this 1976 house was completely gutted. A new open plan design concept shows off artifacts from adventures overseas and a custom display unit meets code requirements for a stair wall while providing transparency for light and enjoyment of spectacular antique carvings that grace the landing. Walls were removed and three engineered beams installed. 85 recessed lights, both line and low voltage to suit my lighting design ensures flexible highlighting of space for different moods. New plumbing includes a mechanical room to house wiring for underfloor radiant heat and a steam generator for the Master Bath spa / steam shower.
