For this residential renovation in San Clemente, we're updating the exterior as well as interior spaces through the integration of natural materials and contemporary details.

Outside, new siding softens the facade and entry, while highlighting the architectural massing and contemporary building forms.

To achieve the desired aesthetic, 1"x6" cedar members were attached to the existing stucco with 3/4" composite sleepers, creating an airspace between the two finishes and depth in this rainscreen application.

A 1/4" horizontal gap further highlights the wall assembly, underscoring the linearity of the material through the emphasis of the repeated pattern, while hiding the intermediary sleeper system below.

A new custom garage door with the same cedar cladding will also serve to tie the new material at this contemporary exterior. In the meanwhile, work at the interior continues- images of the renovated kitchen, master and entertainment spaces to follow soon...
