A Love Letter to San Diego History: The Mission Hills Spanish Revival Transformation

What do you do when you have a stunning 1934 Spanish Colonial with incredible bones, but the interiors have lost their soul over the decades? You bring it back to life with a "Restoration First" mindset.

Our latest whole-home remodel in the Marston Hills neighborhood of Mission Hills is officially complete, and we couldn’t be prouder of the results. This 3,500+ sq. ft. beauty sits right on a canyon-view lot near Balboa Park, and it deserved a design that felt as iconic as its location.

The Vision: Honor the 1930s heritage while making it a high-functioning home for a modern family.

The Highlights:
👨‍🍳 The Kitchen: We went bold with custom navy blue inset cabinetry and unlacquered brass hardware. The centerpiece is a massive quartz waterfall island with a built-in induction cooktop, perfect for entertaining. Don’t miss the built-in coffee station featuring hand-painted Talavera-inspired tile!

🌿 The "Green" Room: One of the most talked-about spaces in this home is the character bathroom. We used floor-to-ceiling forest green Zellige-inspired tile that catches the light beautifully, accented by vivid Talavera niches and a freestanding soaking tub.

🪜 The Details: From the custom-designed staircase with terracotta hex treads and cobalt blue risers to the sage green laundry room, every inch of this home was curated to feel timeless, not trendy.

Why this matters:
In San Diego, we are surrounded by historic architecture. Remodeling these homes requires a delicate balance—upgrading the utilities and flow without "gutting" the character that makes our neighborhoods special.

Whether it’s the warmth of the terracotta floors or the handcrafted feel of the tile work, this home now feels like it was meant to look this way all along.

Think you need more square footage to increase your home’s value? Think again.

​We just completed a massive structural transformation on Decanture Way in Del Cerro, San Diego 92120. This wasn't just a remodel—it was a total floor plan reset.
​The Challenge: A dark, isolated kitchen disconnected from the backyard.
The Solution: We relocated the kitchen entirely to the back of the home, trenching through the concrete slab to move all plumbing and gas lines.
​The Result? > A bright, open-concept kitchen with full quartzite surfaces and a custom plaster hood.
The old kitchen space? Converted into a high-end, dedicated home office with custom French doors.
