The Hill Residence

Beautifully Remodeled Spanish Style Home Splurges in Luxury Details and Smart Home Automation.

Our goal for this whole home remodel was to preserve the home’s history while also modernizing the interior to fulfill our client’s vision and needs.

The exterior of this home is a classic example of Spanish Revival Style. The remodel ensured that its characteristic terracotta shingle roof, historic tiling, and sculpted stucco walls were preserved and enhanced. To refresh the look, we repainted the stucco a creamy white and adorned it with vintage cast iron lanterns, gates, and other ornaments. The windows are painted a deep green to complement the red clay roofing.

The backyard was redesigned with a pool renovation, new patio and shade structures, and a garage-conversion pool house with a full bar, new bathroom with a steam shower and dry sauna, and Spanish Style design elements that match the main home.

Inside, interior design details such as brighter paint and reupholstered furnishings create more illuminated spaces. Subtle custom details like a curved curtain rod to match a rounded window and personalized cabinetry etchings emphasize the home’s unique design elements. Cast iron details, custom patterned tile, and textured walls echo the exterior Spanish style.

In the kitchen, luxury details include cream cabinetry with antique detailing, light Quartzite Emerald countertops, a vintage stove and matching wall-mounted stainless-steel vent hood, and a kick-toe pet bowl hidden under the central island.

Above the fireplace in the sunroom, a recessed television is concealed behind a painting that rolls up at the touch of a button.

The television in the living room is also smartly disguised: when not in use, the flat screen TV appears as a large mirror that blends naturally with the surrounding gallery wall. These luxury smart-home features balance the home’s vintage charm, perfectly customizing the remodel to the client’s preferences. Additional smart home automation features include temperature controls, audio integration throughout the home and backyard, and automated radiant floor schedules.

The distinction between working with remodel contractors & designers in a design/build firm and a general contractor lies in their scope and approach. General contractors primarily coordinate projects with limited design involvement. On the other hand, award-winning remodel contractors & designers, such as HartmanBaldwin, operate under a Design/Build framework that seamlessly integrates both design and construction services. This approach leads to elevated project quality and a smoother construction journey for homeowners. While general contractors excel in managing projects where design is minimal, Design/Build firms like ours offer a comprehensive and collaborative solution, ensuring that every facet of a project is aligned to create a more refined and harmonious result.

The journey of a luxury home remodel commences with an essential first step: the initial Design Consultation. This pivotal moment serves as a platform for us to connect with you, gaining insight into your aspirations for your home and how you envision living within it. It's a two-way dialogue where we listen attentively to your desires, absorbing every nuance of your vision for your space. This moment is not only about design; it's about understanding your lifestyle, preferences, and the essence you wish to infuse into your home. The initial Design Consultation sets the tone for a truly bespoke and rewarding luxury home remodel experience, one that transcends the ordinary to craft a living space that reflects your essence and dreams.
