Studio City Full Home Remodeling That Flows to the Patio

Studio City remodels designed around daily use, so a cook at the stove sees the patio and the rooms flow toward the yard. Palmcrest Contractors.

A cook standing at the stove should be able to see the patio table, the gate and the lawn without leaning. That sightline is the test a remodeled Studio City house has to pass every day, and it shapes the layout long before finishes are picked. A pass-through, a wider doorway or a window over the sink can bring the yard into the kitchen, and each is placed to match where the cook actually stands.

Sightlines drawn on the plan

We mark three spots on the floor plan: the stove, the sink and the end of the table. From each, a line runs to the yard through whatever is in the way. A wall, a tall refrigerator or a narrow window shows up as a break in the line, and that tells us what to open or move. Doors to the patio swing or slide so a tray can pass through in one trip, and a threshold sits flush with the floor on both sides so a rolling cart does not catch.

Quiet rooms and bright rooms

Day to day, a house works when its loud rooms and quiet rooms do not fight each other. Laundry and the mechanical closet move away from bedrooms, a pocket door closes off the den, and extra insulation in shared walls keeps a television from traveling. Windows facing the yard are placed for daylight at the table and shade at the sofa. Switches, outlets and lighting circuits are planned at the same time, so each room has light where people use it.
