BEHRENS RESIDENCE
Renovated California mid-century for this century
A complete reconstruction on the existing foundation plus an additional 800 SF has transformed this small mid-century tract house into a mid-century classic. Square footage is increased from 1200 to 2000 but retains the lines, scale and materials of numerous 50’s style ranch homes in the neighborhood. The new design employs details and themes characteristic of a more recognized mid-century modern style. The relaxed California life is enhanced through the extensive use of corner windows and a sliding window wall that connect interior and exterior spaces providing wonderful daylight, views and opportunities for outdoor living. Built to the exacting standards of regional seismic and energy codes, this home moves into the next century in style.
