Mikcus Projects is behind this dramatic transformation of a 1910 colonial-style house in Alameda, Californiafurniture design
studio Mickus Projects, who led the redesign of this 1910 colonial style house in Alameda, California. When his wife, Taryn, spotted the property on sale, not too far from the previous home, the couple agreed to snap it up and transform it from a historical space to one that brings together old and new through a craft-rich design that respects the past and looks to the future.
The duo, operating as both a family unit and client-and-architect throughout the project’s development, worked together to open up the interior. Walls and an existing fireplace were removed, resulting in a ground level that is visually connected across the floorplate, from the street facade to back garden.
The main, ground level hosts most of the key rooms in the house - a living room at the front, two en suite bedrooms at the side, and that long, bright space in the centre and rear that brings together food preparation and dining, culminating in a majestic ’sun room’ under a geometric, white feature ceiling with exposed beams that follow the dramatic angles of the pitched roof.
Mickus, who tackles projects of various scales and often works with bespoke furniture and fittings, made sure the interior features customised pieces throughout and the overall attention to detail was central in this architectural transformation.
