PIPER STREET HOME RENOVATION, SONOMA

Piper Street came to us as a standard builder-grade home with a lot of untapped potential—and left as a refined, functional wine-country property that lives up to its setting. We took the structure down to the studs, which is the best way we know to do this kind of work right: it gave us a clean framework to rework the layout, upgrade the systems, and bring a more cohesive architectural approach to the whole house.

Flow and usability drove nearly every decision. Structural and framing changes support a reconfigured floor plan, including a new second-floor media room and expanded living areas — the kind of changes that sound simple on paper but take real coordination to pull off without compromising the bones of the house. We got it done while keeping circulation throughout the home feeling natural, not forced.

Materials told much of the story here. Wide-plank wood flooring runs throughout, which meant precise layout and sequencing to get right. Alongside that, our team installed fully custom cabinetry and millwork across the kitchen, bathrooms, and storage areas — each piece detailed for durability, clean transitions, and the kind of long-term performance that ages well.

None of the good stuff means much without solid bones underneath it, so we updated the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems to meet current standards and upgraded insulation, windows, and doors to boost efficiency across the board.

At the end of the day, Piper Street is a full rebuild within an existing footprint — modern construction methods, a disciplined material approach, and a home that performs as well as it looks. It’s exactly the kind of project that reminds us why we love this work: taking something with good bones and making it truly shine in its Healdsburg setting.
