Montalvo Residence 

Client: Confidential

Services: Renovations, Interiors

Location: Saratoga, CA

Status: Completed

Originated as a simple California Ranch house, but situated at a prestige neighborhood, the high-tech entrepreneur owner would like to elevate their residence appearance to match the surrounding neighbor’s context.  With a newborn baby, the house needs to be updated and extended to welcome the new member of the family. Ceilings were opened to give extra volume, family rooms are expended, natural stone colonnade is added to add splendor to the space. Formal functional rooms are layout in a symmetrical fashion to address the grandness to the space while keeping the exterior intact and disrupted.  Kitchen with high tech state of the art equipment becomes the nucleus of a gathering space for this updated house which is rooted into the owner’s heritage.
