New La Selva Beach House

Beach Style ADU in Santa Cruz, CA

Located on the westside of Santa Cruz, CA this 650 square-foot beach cottage may seem like a small to some, however the vaulted ceilings in the common area as well as the open floor plan of the home give it a much larger feel. Furthermore, the use of rustic hardwood floors and antique accents throughout the home give this space a charming feel. 

Mountain House in Santa Cruz, CA

This mountain house was quite an interesting project. We were first called out because a tree had fallen into the existing house, almost entirely destroying the original structure. The homeowners used this as an opportunity to create their new dream home!

Beach Style Cottage Santa Cruz, CA

This beach style remodel and addition of the Westside of Santa Cruz was a great success for the homeowners. The original home on the property was falling apart and not what the owners had in mind when moving so close to the beach. But the new beach style home filled with lively colors and vaulted ceilings created the perfect ambience for coastal living.

Yacht Harbor Overlook - Santa Cruz, Ca

This project involved remodeling a beach style bungalow overlooking the Santa Cruz yacht harbor. The open kitchen and living room design provide sweeping views of the harbor from the common areas of the house. Vaulted ceilings and light hardwood flooring add a light, airy feel throughout the home.
