Timeless Kitchen Addition in San Ramon, CA

With a gorgeous backyard and a passion for hosting, they envisioned a space where guests could gather comfortably and in style. They also wanted to display the many treasures they’d collected during their travels, making the kitchen uniquely theirs.

Structural upgrades included installing a new beam to support the upper level and fully insulating the new exterior walls, underfloor, and ceiling for energy efficiency. The addition features an extra large window and an Andersen French door, bringing in abundant natural light and providing easy access to the outdoors.

The new kitchen features a stunning Cielo leather quartzite countertop. Above the cooktop, a Bardiglio Malenza brick mosaic tile creates a striking focal point, while the remaining backsplash is finished in crisp white gloss subway tile. All-new appliances were installed for a fresh, modern upgrade.

To create a seamless look, the hardwood flooring was matched to the neighboring spaces—family room, dining room, and more—using “Northwoods” Northern Red Oak. The installation required a decorative transition between the kitchen and family room, a creative solution to the challenge of blending new flooring with the existing.

A tall wine fridge stands ready for gatherings, and a unique custom drawer—captured in our photos—adds a personal, functional touch.
