A primary suite was created on the new second level, complete with a freestanding tub.

The bathroom in the guesthouse retains the claw-foot tub that came with the property.

In the angular primary bathroom, “there’s a lot of levels, there’s a lot going on,” says Carine. “ Plaster felt like a really natural element that went with the architectural style of the house, but then it also sort of neutralised the busyness of all the things that were going on.” Travertine parquet tiles line the floor.

A trove of original details can be found throughout, including the anchoring fireplace and ornate moulding lining the ceiling in the living room.

In the kitchen, buffed concrete floors, chrome globe lights, and a fleet of Bertoia chairs comprise a sleek backdrop for quirkier pieces like the marble-topped wooden tables from a Catholic school, snagged at a local flea market. The secret to the spare, uncluttered shelves? A dispensa, or walk-in pantry, down the hall. “We hide everything we don’t want to see,” Sticotti explains. “We don’t want to have to look at brands.”

A new deck was built to be wider for more accessibility, and to also make space for a dining area and hot tub.

A new carport was constructed to accommodate a ramp on the interior.

The built-in oak bed and wall treatment was designed by Bright Designlab and fabricated by Master Furniture Makers, with a custom colorful rug designed by Bright Designlab, in collaboration with Kush Rugs.

The original house was built in 1914, on a slightly raised portion of the property.

For a bathroom in the new addition, the architects utilized the former addition's rocky foundation, complemented by zellige tile.

The redesign enlarged an existing arched opening between the dining room (with its vintage Saarinen table) and the new addition.
