Pasadena Craftsman

Tim Barber Architects

Location: Pacific Palisades, CA

Scope: 6,800 square foot remodel

Role: Selecting exterior finishes; drafting

The owners of this historic craftsman hired TBA to restore and renovate the property. Previous renovations had left an anachronistic mark on the interior architecture and exterior finishes, so our goal was to restore it to it’s craftsman origins while adding a fresh take.

I was tasked with creating palette options for the exterior finishes, with guidance from my project manager. The final palette we landed on coheres with the surrounding landscape architecture and craftsman asthetic.

Alta Dena Ranch

Tim Barber Architects

Location: Pacific Plisades, CA

Scope: 3,700 square foot remodel

Role: selecting exterior finishes; drafting

The owners of this California ranch home purchased the property for its tranquil and verdant setting, but the home needed an overhaul. Much of the property hadn’t been updated since its construction in the 1950’s, so our team designed a full renovation and new ADU.

The clients wanted an exterior finish that fit the home’s core style, but without feeling dated. In collaboration with my project manager, I created a darker-toned paint palette contrasted against a whitewashed brick watertable.
