About This Project

The Southwest Adobe project in Long Beach, California, is a stunning transformation of a historic adobe-style home originally built in 1931. This unique residence, which remained in the same family for 70 years, was acquired by its current owner in 1999, who was captivated by its charm and character. However, after 15 years, the owner sought to revive the living space, addressing the challenges posed by its original design. The project began in 2016, focusing on enhancing the functionality and aesthetic appeal of the home. The living room, characterized by a low ceiling and heavy peeler logs, was reimagined to create a more inviting and spacious atmosphere. By skillfully raising the ceiling and incorporating lighter finishes, the design team succeeded in eliminating the visual heaviness while maintaining the rustic authenticity of the adobe style. The kitchen underwent a significant renovation to transform it from a dark, closed-off space into a bright, open area that seamlessly connects with the living room and dining spaces. Modern amenities were integrated while respecting the home’s original architectural integrity, creating a functional and stylish environment. The choice of materials was paramount; natural wood, stone, and adobe plaster were used to honor the home’s Southwestern roots, with craftsmanship that reflects an attention to detail and quality. The outcome is a harmonious blend of old-world charm and contemporary comfort, where the spirit of the original adobe home is preserved yet enhanced for modern living. This project not only revitalizes the living spaces but also enriches the owner’s daily life, making it a perfect example of how thoughtful design can breathe new life into a cherished residence.
