Every property starts with a different vision.
You may need more room for a growing family. You may want to modernize an older home. You might be considering an ADU for additional living space, transforming an existing garage, or finally moving forward with a renovation you’ve been planning for years.
Ekim Cram Construction works with homeowners throughout the San Gabriel Valley to turn those ideas into finished spaces that are functional, comfortable, and designed to last.
A dramatic exterior renovation that transformed a traditional residence into a clean, contemporary home defined by strong architectural lines, natural wood details, and a completely redesigned entry.
The existing home had a much more traditional architectural character, with an enclosed central entry, decorative window surrounds, classical columns, and a curved architectural feature above the entrance.
The renovation completely reimagined that presentation.
A new contemporary entry became the focal point of the home, using broad horizontal roof planes and substantial vertical columns to create a stronger architectural presence. Natural wood brings warmth to the otherwise minimal exterior palette, while the updated glazing and entry doors reinforce the modern aesthetic.
The completed Pinehurst Residence demonstrates how an exterior renovation can do more than update finishes. It can completely change the way a home looks, feels, and presents itself.
By replacing the traditional architectural language with clean horizontal lines, natural materials, modern glazing, and a more prominent entry, the residence now has a contemporary identity while maintaining the footprint and overall presence of the original home.
For Ekim Cram Construction, this project is a strong example of the kind of dramatic transformation that can be achieved through thoughtful planning, detailed execution, and attention to architectural finishes.
A completely redesigned entrance establishes a much stronger focal point and gives the home a more substantial arrival experience.
Natural wood soffits and exterior details add warmth and visual contrast against the light exterior finish.
Deep horizontal roof planes create the defining architectural feature of the new exterior and dramatically change the home’s proportions.
Modern window configurations and a large wood-and-glass entrance complement the contemporary architecture.
A simplified exterior palette creates a cleaner appearance while allowing the wood and architectural forms to become the primary visual elements.
The finished landscaping and exterior lighting frame the architecture without competing with it, creating a polished final presentation.
