Girard + Kvasnicka Residence
This original 3,639 sq/ft home was tired/neglected and was built at a time where the home was turned inward and broken up into smaller separate rooms. The home has panoramic views of the north slope of Mt. Soledad all the way west to the Pacific Ocean.
The family wanted a more open home, filled with light and a open floor plan suitable for family living that captures the available views from all the rooms. The south and west walls of the new design expands the view from almost every room in the house. A new facade of the home was accomplished by building in front of the existing walls with three CMU block and wood sided cubes.

The owners have a taste for Modern furniture and this contemporary updated home has captured some of the Modern architecture feelings in a very unique, architecturally blended, family friendly home.
The new 5,506 sq/ft home maximizes natural daylight and utilizes LED can lighting which was used throughout the home to minimize electrical usage. The front sloping driveway uses pavers which allow water to infiltrate the site over a large area rather than drain and cause runoff of the canyon behind the house.
