The site we started with, and the proposed design.

Existing single-story residence — brick and shingle facade, mature landscape, prior to remodel.

Proposed front elevation — standing-seam metal roof, stucco volumes, timber entry canopy, and updated fencing establish a new architectural character while respecting the existing single-story footprint.
Permit-ready drawings.

Existing site plan alongside the proposed site plan — addition, patio cover, pool, potential ADU, and reworked garage coordinated for permit submittal.
Selected views.
