The architects vaulted up the existing flat ceiling and added a glass door to let more light into the family room; they saved the existing steel-frame windows. The homeowners created a spare but comfortable furniture layout that incorporates iconic midcentury modern and contemporary pieces — and a nod to Star Wars.

Stained wood cabinets from Ikea contrast with powder-coated-steel countertops that reflect the light. The space just past the countertops is the central circulation spine that allows one room to flow into the next.

The owners have an extensive art collection; white walls and colorful, eclectic pieces transform even the eat-in kitchen into a gallery.

Guests and family usually enter the house through this yellow door. The transparent glass door on the right leads to the guest bathroom, which connects to the more private bedroom area.

The floors are stained concrete, which plays off the sleek industrial stainless steel hardware, appliances and vent hood.

A refrigerator and pantry are across the room from these countertops.

A closet space in the son's room provided the perfect area for a sleeping nook. "We wanted to create a cozy alcove for his bed so that we could leave as much floor space as possible for toys and play," Clayton says.

All the master bedroom needed was new paint and carpet tiles. A picture rail displays favorite prints.

Nightstand: Modulicious No. 1, Blu Dot; shams: Chinoiserie Pearl, DwellStudio

The master bathroom was previously a small study off the master bedroom that had sliding glass doors on the wall where the window is. A floating vanity, a clear glass frameless shower separator, continuous white tile and a skylight make the new master bathroom feel much larger than its 6 by 10 feet.

Tile: 4-by-12 Modern Dimensions, Daltile
by Clayton&Little Architects  
The vanity is natural gray poured-in-place concrete with a burnished finish. Steel was run through it and into the wall studs so that it could be cantilevered.

After about six months of construction, the home is now a place where the family plans to stay for a long time.

Diamondflame Not a fan of white tiles in bathrooms but the skylight is a great idea. A full one-way mirror glass wall with opaque/frosted blinds option at night would take the bathroom right into the outdoors and up that 'wow' factor.

ohpook I'd like to vault ceilings in a house we just "collected". How involved was that? time? money?

tcufrog I love the bed in their son's bedroom but I would have taken advantage of the height by putting storage underneath.

Dana Veach There are some really nice ideas here on small space planning. I especially love the Master bathroom which lives much larger than its small footprint. This seems a very attractive and livable home...thanks for sharing it with us!

frenchdecor Beautiful, cute home. Alcove bed, I loved in my childhood the most, mine was a baby crib size with curtains, I preferred to curl, but still sleep there, honestly, play quietly in "doll house". Like high ceiling and those windows, nice open frame.

Curtis Conkey I really like the bathroom as I have a similar small bathroom to remodel. What I don't understand is why the shower water handle is on the opposite wall from the actual shower?

Studio NOO Design Love the pop of color !

Becky Harris Curtis, that way you can pop into the shower, perhaps still clothed, turn it on and let it warm up without getting soaked.

Curtis Conkey Ok, I'll buy that - never thought of that before.
Something for me to consider with my remodel.
Thanks

Bowden Carroll Design Love the sleeping nook in the boy's bedroom and agree with tcufrog that storage underneath would be a great idea. Don't know that I'd like to be in charge of changing the sheets, though - I hate having to climb on a bed to tuck things in on the far side!
