The Biona House

Major remodeling/addition in the heart of Kensington. The location is on a major street that connects three neighborhood in San Diego. Besides that, the property is located on between two streets on the east and west sides, and a third major street on the north side. The main challenge was to keep create a home living environment on major street and the other challenge is to integrate and preserve the original house and finish with the contemporary design for aesthetic and functional use of the project. In consideration that the use will be a home base office, a home and possible extra income unit shaped the design. Adding a basement is an unusual addition in San Diego, the inspiration came from have a septic in back of the house saved with the digging process.
