The Challenge
The homeowners in Calabasas were eager to modernize their outdated home while preserving the unique character of the Mulholland Heights neighborhood. They faced the challenge of balancing contemporary aesthetics with the local architectural style that emphasizes natural, earthy tones and materials. Additionally, they wanted to enhance their living space to better accommodate their growing family, without compromising on style or functionality. Navigating Calabasas' stringent building codes and ensuring compliance with local regulations added another layer of complexity to the project.
Our Approach
Oria Builders began the project with a series of detailed design meetings to capture the homeowners' vision for a modern yet harmonious update. Special attention was given to material selection, ensuring every choice aligned with both the homeowners' taste and the neighborhood's aesthetic guidelines. The team guided the permitting process, working closely with Calabasas city officials to secure necessary approvals smoothly and efficiently. Our design team crafted a comprehensive plan that maximized space and light, incorporating open-concept living areas and strategic use of glass and natural materials.
Build Process
The construction phase was meticulously planned to ensure minimal disruption to the homeowners' daily life. We started with the demolition of non-structural walls to open up the space, enhancing the flow between living areas. Our skilled craftsmen focused on high-quality finishes and details, such as custom cabinetry and precision tilework. The timeline was carefully managed, with key phases like plumbing and electrical upgrades synchronized to prevent delays. Communication was constant, and our project manager was on-site daily to oversee progress and maintain the high standards of quality Oria Builders is known for.
