The “Hoffman Residence addition and remodel” presented us with an opportunity to revisit a project some twenty years after we completed the original house. Due to an empty nest, the house needed a program update. The design emphasis shifted to entertainment and family gatherings. Bedrooms were replaced with a multi-purpose entertainment room, a two thousand bottle wine cellar and a new master suit. The design theme is one of refined modernism with rich materials and clean detailing.

The “Rike Residence” is a collaboration between Baldinger Architectural Studio and Jim Rike, a contractor, with whom we have had a long and successful professional relationships.
The house is a cubist raw structure of Concrete, Steel and Glass, designed as laboratory and a container for an uninhibited living and entertaining environment.
The house flows spatially, horizontally and vertically, interconnecting the various activity centers as well as the outdoor spaces.
The end result is a masculine composition of exposed steel, concrete, wood, mechanical and electrical equipment executed in a monochromatic palate of material to serve as a back drop to a rich and eclectic art and furniture collection.
