FMT Estudio gives a stark and dated dwelling a playful renovation that embraces the sunny climate with lush courtyards and a poolside veranda.

The corner white armoire, passed down to Bruce and now to Connie, was decorated by a family friend with painted glass, to represent flora and fauna found on the property.

The kitchen is positioned where the lower-ceilinged edge of the second floor gives way to a multistory volume.

Exposed oak framing and oak floors lend the interior a warm, cozy feel.

The downstairs bathroom was also dramatically redone for a total of $18,121.

The wood slat wall was a great solution for spreading light throughout the split-level and looks right for the era of the house. At $2700, it was also much more cost effective than Devlin’s original design of a metal staircase.

The built-in couch has leather cushions, and surrounds a Lemon coffee table.-A James Sutherland piece hangs beside the fireplace.

Exposed wooden beams continue into the kitchen, complete with all new appliances.

Inside the carriage house, a palette of Vermont ash wood, granite, and glass is straightforward and streamlined. Complex carpentry work throughout is reminiscent of the detailing seen in boatbuilding.

The kitchen sits near the main entry and features long countertops and new appliances. As part of the remodel, the old door recess was converted into cabinets to offer more storage.

Additional floor-to-ceiling storage is located in the hallway. The home also features soaring 10-foot-high ceilings throughout, which enhances the overall sense of space.

Pablo built the new addition into the slope in front of the house to blend it with the surrounding landscape. At the back of the property sits a greenhouse and a garage, the latter of which has solar panels on the roof.

The mirrored wall bounches light around the room and makes it seem larger. Unlacquered brass plumbing fixtures feel appropriate for the house.
