MODERN GRECIAN (CONT. FROM PG. 32)
STYLE & INSPIRATION: This Loomis
residence underwent a complete remodel—transforming from a 1980s Victorian into a craftsman. The job required quality materials and an attention to detail, resulting in a polished home that includes authentic touches like real stacked stonewalls, shaped timber beams and braces, and replicated craftsman color schemes. The craftsman style can even be seen in the master bath, which features an open shower arranged around a circular tile mosaic column. “The interior was completely reconfigured,” says Piches, noting the garage and utility areas became a large recreation room and office.
AMENITIES: The property includes a pond, horse barn and detached carriage house that was built for three cars and guest accommodations.
STYLE & INSPIRATION: This addition and remodel
was built for a homeowner who had memories of living in Europe as a child. He loved the verticality of the castle spaces and wanted to add a tower to his one-story home. “Our challenge was to design an addition with a tower that would be appropriate in the setting of the bucolic Placer foothills, while blending easily with the one-story proportions of the existing home,” says Piches, explaining that the resulting “barn-inspired tower structure” steps down to the existing lower onestory roof with board and batt siding and a metal roof, which brings continuity to the new and existing parts of the home. The new entry features a stone-walled courtyard, which boasts an outdoor fireplace and sitting area.
AMENITIES: The home includes a great room, a new recreation room, a gym, a main floor library and a home office in the tower.
