Helping the Developer Get His Money’s Worth
My developer client had paid a pretty penny for this home, based on its incredible views of the bay and multiple bridges. Budgets ran over and city inspectors took a hard line so the renovation was quite delayed.
Our team left major fingerprints on the new home design. Especially significant was the enormous master bathroom suite carved from the original small footprint.
The small, uninspiring original kitchen was reoriented, greatly enlarged and resurfaced.
