Diamond Heights

Termites and poorly performed remodels had compromised one of the first homes built on the top rim of Glen Canyon.  ALM meticulously and thoughtfully took the house apart and put it back together with custom finishes and large windows that look out over the park. This mid-century home was vertically expanded, precisely detailed, and now features three stories of clean lines and light-filled rooms.

Modern kitchen with large glass doors opening to a backyard garden, featuring a white countertop island, wooden cabinets, and white chairs.
Bright living room with a gray sofa, a black chair, a stone fireplace, a wooden coffee table, hanging framed artwork, potted plants, and large sliding glass doors opening to a balcony.
