Burbank Street Residence
Alameda, Ca.
The program called for construction of a small addition in the rear yard for a new bathroom and walk-in closet creating a main bedroom suite.
The kitchen area was demolished and opened into one larger space. A new kitchen was installed and a pair of original craftsman doors from the balcony, were reinstalled in the breakfast area offering access to a new rear yard deck.
The balcony was enclosed and book shelves installed to create a library backdrop to the dining room. Clerestory and corner windows allow natural light into the house and a corner alcove with built-in bench is a cozy corner for reading.
