Remodelling and Extension of 1960s House by Dowling Kimm Studios


It’s perfect work of old house remodel. California based architecture and interior design firm Dowling Kimm Studios has completely renovated a 1960′s house Roundhill Road in Tiburon, California. This project consists of a major remodel of an existing 3500 sf hoe, originally built in the 1960s. The home is located on a 1 acre site with expansive views of the Bay. The existing structure, with distinct mid-century lines, showed promise but was badly in need of an upgrade. While the floor plan worked somewhat, too many walls prevented an uninterrupted appreciation of the site and views. In the new design, the public spaces(kitchen, dining, living)- all previously separate rooms, were combined into one large great room with views on three sides. In addition to opening the plan, the design involved a careful selection of sustainable materials and finishes that would compliment, rather than compete with, the surrounding colors and textures of the natural features outside.
