CRESTVIEW RESIDENCE II
This second-phase Crestview Residence renovation extends the transformation of the home with a comprehensive reworking of the basement, ground floor, and second floor, while also enhancing the front exterior. The project focuses on improving comfort, usability, and spatial efficiency throughout the house, creating a more complete and cohesive living environment for the family.
In the basement, the renovation introduces a new guest suite, a dedicated gym, and a flexible multipurpose room designed to accommodate recreation, work, or family activities. These new spaces expand the functional capacity of the home, allowing it to better support both daily routines and visiting guests. Careful planning ensures that the lower level feels integrated, comfortable, and purposeful rather than secondary to the main living areas above.
On the ground floor, a new mudroom and powder room are added to improve daily convenience and household organization. These practical insertions strengthen the flow of the home by creating a more efficient entry sequence and supporting the needs of an active family lifestyle.
The second floor presents the most challenging design task. Existing ceiling conditions have created a series of awkward and underused spaces, with low and sloped areas that frequently result in discomfort and limited functionality. The renovation reconsiders the upper level to make better use of the available volume, reducing unusable zones and creating more comfortable, efficient rooms. As part of this intervention, an additional bathroom and a new office are introduced, enhancing both livability and long-term flexibility for the family.
To complete the phase, a new front door canopy and deck redefine the home’s arrival experience. These additions give the exterior a stronger architectural presence while offering a more welcoming and sheltered entrance. Together, the Phase 2 interventions continue the overall vision of the Crestview renovation, balancing practical upgrades with thoughtful design to create a home that is more functional, elegant, and responsive to everyday family life.
