Modern Custom Home Remodel in Fullerton, California

The Ladera Vista second-story addition demonstrates JH2's expertise as architects who specialize in remodeling and home extensions throughout Orange County.

The 7,000 square foot transformation required meticulous structural coordination to support the full-height second level while preserving the home's foundation and architectural character.

As home remodel architects experienced in California building codes, we managed the complex permitting process with Fullerton's planning department, ensuring the addition met current seismic standards and zoning requirements.

The master bathroom design showcases our integrated approach, luxurious marble surfaces, custom cabinetry, and spa-inspired fixtures that reflect the same refined aesthetic as the home's exterior, creating a cohesive design from foundation to roofline.
