STUDIO WORK :  SCHWALLER STUDIO ARCHITECTURE
Rincon Point House  

Carpinteria, CA 

Remodel of 1971 Rosencrans home in a coastal “Sea Ranch” modern vernacular,  with new design decisions being made in alignment with the original design intent, updated for the future. Architectural improvments to the interior and site create a greater  connection from the home to the legendary surf break.

 ARCHITECTURE: REMODEL  


Expansion House  

Santa Barbara, CA 

A total design for a site with New ADU, auxillary builings, and a ground-up remodel of the exsiting footprint.  The new structure creates a sense of place and facilitates a connnection to the tree-lined creekbed to the rear of the site,  elevating the experience of living on the site.

A dynamic play of angled forms results in a spatial experience of expansion and contraction which creates a spatial sensation equivalent to the dyanmics of tension and release found in music.

 ARCHITECTURE: ADU, REMODEL + SITE IMPROVEMENTS 
Cottage House  

Montecito, CA 

An existing cottage structure is updated as a new ADU, with a new large unifying deck with views out over the main house to the ocean.  Though the existing cottage steps across multiple levels, the new large unifying deck space and the streamlined interior expression act to connect them, providing a seamless space of utility and tranquility in the garden site.
