Location: Mt. Soledad district of La Jolla, California.

Project Description: Completed March, 2007

The existing residence was a 1,600 sq. ft. single story structure. The kitchen and dining areas were out-dated and wern't functionly adequate for the desires of the owner. Additionally, the rear yard was partitioned off by a large retaining wall, thus, greatly reducing the beauty and interaction of the spacious yard.

The scope of the project was to add 650 sq. ft. to the rear of the home, as well as construct a new 900 sq. ft. garage with an additional 1,000 sq.ft. second floor above, all with the goal of providing much desired interaction with the rear yard.

The first floor addition creates a large, open syle kitchen, dining and living spaces. The new second floor above the garage has 2 additional bedrooms, full bath and large, vaulted ceiling great room equipped with a wet bar. An exterior covered balcony provides a new veiw of the Pacific Beach community as well as the Pacific Ocean.
