Pleasant valley ranch house

The driving aesthetic for this project was contemporary California ranch house with a nod to mid century modern design. The original galley kitchen was cramped with no view of the oak and sweeping valley below. The redesign prioritized an open concept, perfect for entertaining. Plain sliced white oak was the natural choice, with its warm tones and figured grain. We worked with the client and a neighboring machine shop to alter some antique brass knobs. Floating shelves instead of upper cabinets showcase their collection of handmade ceramics as well as optimizing natural light.  Both bathroom vanities have integrated wood handles with custom drawers that fit around the plumbing to maximize storage.
