point loma residence

private residence | san diego, california

Set within San Diego’s coastal Point Loma community, the Point Loma Residence transforms an existing one-story home into a gracious two-story residence that embraces its Spanish Eclectic character while creating a more open, contemporary way of living. The extensive remodel includes a new 1,000-square-foot second floor and 500-square-foot attached garage, thoughtfully integrated to feel like a natural evolution of the original home.

At the heart of the redesigned first floor, a spacious Great Room brings the kitchen, dining, and living areas together into a warm, light-filled gathering space. An open kitchen and new pantry support everyday family life and entertaining, while improved circulation creates a more intuitive connection between rooms. Along the street, a new covered entry porch establishes a welcoming sense of arrival and strengthens the home’s relationship with the neighborhood.

The second-floor addition creates a private family retreat featuring the primary suite, two additional bedrooms, laundry room, and sitting room. A covered balcony extends the living space outdoors, providing a quiet place to enjoy scenic views toward the Pacific Ocean.

Throughout the renovation, traditional proportions and Spanish Eclectic architectural details bring character and continuity to the expanded home while accommodating the needs of modern living.

The result is a residence that feels both established and renewed—respecting the architectural character of its Point Loma setting while opening the home to more space, better connections, and coastal views.
