About Project

Patterson is a high-impact remodel in Palo Alto, built for real utility, not Instagram likes. The layout is tight and logical: reoriented entry, direct access kitchen-dining-living, and full linkage to the backyard. Finishes? Straightforward—custom millwork, stone surfaces, zero fake luxury. Natural light floods in through new windows and doors, breathing actual life into dull old bones. The house finally works for everyday routines, not just magazine spreads.

Every detail was picked for durability and function. The mudroom isn’t an afterthought—neatly integrated off garage entry. Office nook, proper storage, and streamlined traffic flow cut out clutter and confusion. Energy systems upgraded for real savings—no greenwashing, just performance. Patio and backyard overhaul offer usable outdoor space minus pointless features. If you want pretty pictures, go elsewhere. This one’s designed for actual living.
