Newport Spec

Newport Spec Executed as a remodel/addition to an existing residence, the design for this home captures 360 degree views from the coast line to downtown San Diego.  The modern style, with corner windows and pocketing doors enhances the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces by creating seamless transitions from living space to functional exterior spaces.  The great room opens up to an infinity pool further enhancing the relationship to the outdoor and the ocean beyond.   A detached garage and bonus flex space take full advantage of available height and square footage allowances.  The end result is a contemporary design that any family can enjoy.   Construction Type: Renovation/Addition Location: San Diego, CA Date Completed: 2017

RSF Modern

RSF Modern JLC was charged with a major face lift of this one-of-a-kind custom home.  Originally built in 1997, the overall structure of the home allowed for design features that would not otherwise be approved under strict Rancho Santa Fe design guidelines.  Exterior materials include stucco and glass walls, a new aluminum fascia and wood T&G soffits.  The new railings are defined by horizontal steel rods and a wood cap.  The rear courtyard was also renovated with a completely refinished pool, new hardscape and a custom cast-in-place concrete fireplace.   From the homeowner: “Jean-Louis and Tyler are incredibly talented architects and more importantly in my opinion, nice and honest people. They re-designed an adobe house into a modern masterpiece and worked effectively with the RSF art jury to get it approved (which is no small feat). They were readily available, responding quickly to our emails and phone calls.
