Located in San Carlos, California, USA, Gover Lane is a stunning modern home transformation by Rossington Architecture in 2012. The main objectives of this project were to create a more functional kitchen and open the house up to the back yard, creating easy indoor/outdoor living. Other project components included a more welcoming entry, a more efficient heating system (and one that actually heated the house), a new powder room for guests, a new laundry room and general modernization of the whole house. The owners wanted modern, but not too modern .The trick was to design a house with clean lines and a modern sensibility without going overboard and being too slick. A small powder room was added just off the entry and a functional bench / storage cabinet was created allowing a place for guests to remove shoes and the family to dump their daily stuff. Utility and laundry rooms were also created by stealing some space from the garage.
