Harmony

Remodel

The beautiful Harmony house remodel created a more welcoming front-facing entry and turned the existing three-car garage into an exercise area, sauna, and entertainment room. The old garage exterior was transformed into a courtyard that allows the homeowners to barbeque, entertain, and enjoy the outdoors in a space protected from the wind. The house's finishes were completely redone from a cold white theme to warmer, more inviting colors and textures.

A new three-car garage was built to ground the entry. What was a horse barn was turned into a space that now has a large wine room with storage for more than 1,000 bottles, a mini-kitchen, a study, and an area for entertaining. The homeowners wanted to grow some of their own food, so the property now has raised beds and a large orchard. Landscape became key on this windswept hill with protection from the wildlife. A large pavilion connects the guest house to the raised beds and orchard.
