The owners liked the circular geometry of the original Paul Williams design, but the existing property was primarily one story with low ceilings, small windows and dark interiors. The remodeler studied the work of Paul Williams and the renovation pays tribute to the original architectural concept while providing an elegant update for today’s family life. Living spaces and circulation were all changed, the ceilings were raised, square footage was added on the second floor, and a more formal paving and garden design was incorporated to better suit the needs of a contemporary lifestyle.

An intimate study and private terrace make this wing of the house a beautiful retreat. The expanded upper floor also allowed space for three children’s bedrooms and a shared study/art room.

The updated residence takes advantage of the sloping site with newly created terraced gardens, water features, and a large lawn area for play and entertaining. The pool cabana/guest house provides a focal point at the end of the gardens. The new pool and outdoor BBQ area are conveniently connected to the main lawn above and easily accessible from the main house.
