A whole-home transformation

Open living.
A private resort.

Hidden Hills shows what becomes possible when the interior and landscape are planned as one home. A full gut remodel, renovated front yard, and entirely new backyard brought daily living, entertaining, and recreation together.

The 4,677-square-foot home already offered generous space. The transformation focused on how that space connected: interior walls came down to unite the great room and kitchen, and a 16-foot bifold opening extended the living area onto the patio.

With a total remodel budget exceeding one million dollars, the transformation extended well beyond the interior—to a resort-style backyard designed for swimming, gathering, and play.

The defining move

Sixteen feet.
One connected home.

Opening the interior changed how the home feels. Opening it to the patio changed how it lives.

The reconfigured great room and kitchen create a shared center for everyday life. The bifold door opens across a full 16 feet, extending that living space onto the patio and into the backyard.

Beyond the bifold doors

A backyard with
the scope of a resort.

The backyard was built around different ways to spend the day: swimming, dining, relaxing by the fire, and playing outdoors. Each destination connects back to the home through the patio.

An outdoor ramada anchors the gathering spaces, while a lap pool combines a baja shelf and swim-up bar. A fire pit, grass area, putting green, and bocce ball court create distinct places to unwind and entertain—all connected to the home through the patio.

Behind the transformation

From divided rooms
to connected living.
