A Pasadena residence with strong massing and a dated envelope wanted a full re-vision - outside and in. The brief: respect the architectural heritage of the neighborhood, modernize the interior language, and resolve the entire program before demo. We designed both the new exterior and a complete interior remodel in a single coordinated 3D model. The owners walked the redesigned home in VR - exterior elevations, front entry sequence, main living, kitchen, hearth, dining, bedrooms - and signed off in 5 weeks. ### Exterior, in conversation with the street The new exterior keeps the home in scale with its neighbors - Pasadena reads as Pasadena. We refreshed massing details, simplified trim, and introduced a calmer materials palette. The house looks like it has always been there, just better. ### Interior contemporary, exterior contextual Inside, we changed the language - open the plan around hearth and kitchen, modernize finishes, layer in better lighting. The interior reads contemporary and uncluttered without ever fighting the architecture above it. ### One coordinated model, two design problems Because we modeled the exterior and interior as a single 3D project, every interior decision was tested against what the exterior was doing - and vice versa. Window placement, ceiling height, sightlines from the entry. The result is a home that reads coherent from the curb to the kitchen.
