El Pie De Cielo
This is an ongoing project on a large ranch that is currently taking this from 1977 (original) very large home to current contemporary designs with some classic elements integrated with elements and finish picked out by the owners who have a great artistic style and taste.
Original repairs included raising the roof, fixing and retrofitting the site built trusses replacing all of roof tiles, install of new copper gutters. We pulled all of the flooring / tiles at pool and replaced it with border tiles and colored / polished concrete – entry – dining room – kitchen areas. All stairs/skirts now have custom Mahogany finishes along with a dual Mahogany entry door. Storefront powder coated aluminum operable glass is replacing the wood framed units in the clear story areas. La Cantina entry doors/panels replaced the French Doors at pool entrys. All new custom cabinets and hand carved counter tops now cover the massive banks of built ins. A functional bar with wine refrigerators in the lounge area make the trip to the pool or hot tub a quick one.
An on demand gas hot water system for the living areas replaced the old inefficient one. Solar was installed along with state of the art ( 2) dehumidifiers @ pool area and a solar heat pump @ pump house to heat up the pool- tub.Future plans include a kitchen remodel , addition along with the replacement of the rest of existing windows on the east wing of house and a Spanish color coat stucco exterior
