Aliso Renovation


Albuquerque, New Mexico
Designed: 2004
Completed: 2006

This was my own house that I lived in and worked on over the course of almost three years.

I started out by gutting the bathroom. The layout of the tub, sink and toilet was very tight so I designed a cantilevered concrete countertop to open up the space that would normally have a cabinet. I was able to build in a full height linen closet next to the toilet for extra storage which was important in such a small home. Because the bathroom was small, I installed a large mirror behind the sink to give the feeling of openness.

The second phase was a complete gutting and remodel of the kitchen. I designed and built all of the cabinets by hand with stained glass inserts. I also poured my own concrete countertops to go on top.

The final phase was to design and build a new garage door.
