In Rancho Mirage, California, we've transformed an older ranch-style home into a modern retreat. The original C-shaped layout was revamped, blending the old with a new rectilinear addition, creating a private courtyard. A steel entry box and large window link the two styles, symbolizing harmony. Our design philosophy emphasizes the connection between architecture and landscape, with rooms opening to the serene outdoors. The steel window and wood interior entryway exemplify our approach, merging modernity with natural warmth.
