Located in Brentwood, California, the Kearsarge Residence is a major renovation of the 1968 M.G. Residence by the Romanian-American mid-century modernist architect Haralamb H. Georgescu. According to the architects: “A major asset to the project was the design-build collaboration with Rhino Construction Group Inc, which allowed for flexibility and modification during the construction process as the history of the house began to reveal itself when we opened up walls and floors. The ability to adapt to new discoveries while maintaining a commitment to the high level of craftsmanship that the home deserved, became indispensable. As we began to peel back layers of the existing building during construction, we discovered that the ceiling of the main space had a rich blue-grey tone that was simply painted over in white. With the uncovering of more elements, it was determined that the original architect extended this colored ceiling from from the Living Room to the the outdoor soffits, creating an indoor-outdoor effect when standing in the space.
