Tom MacDougall and Grace Wu bought a mid-century modern home in Pacific Palisades in 2003 that they have since remodeled to accommodate their growing family. The remodel kept the original footprint but added more bedrooms and bathrooms. It features an open concept indoor-outdoor design with high ceilings and abundant natural light. The remodel blended the original structure with new additions, such as using tiles from the pool in the bathrooms. The family loves having a space where they can all spend time together or separately.
Some of the Plastor Restoration projects completed by Roman O. Ingram IncRoman Ingram
This document lists 7 historic restoration projects completed by Roman O. Ingram, Inc involving plaster repair and restoration. The projects involved structures from the 1830s to the 1920s and included restoring plaster on walls, ceilings, and architectural details in homes, commercial buildings, schools, and churches built in historic styles. The document describes the materials and techniques used which generally involved removing damaged plaster, installing gypsum plaster undercoat, and applying a finish coat to match the original plaster appearance.
Jay and Annie purchased a small 1920s summer cottage in Barrington, Rhode Island as their first home. They have been renovating it themselves while learning new skills, uncovering original wood floors and refinishing them. Their plans are to add a full second floor with bedrooms and bathrooms, open up the first floor, replace mechanical systems, and build an exterior deck. They are lifelong fans of This Old House and feel their average-sized budget and small house project would appeal to viewers.

The document describes a series of photos from different locations and events in Matt and Sriyani's lives, including Matt proposing to Sriyani at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne, the aftermath of fires that destroyed Matt's country home and surrounding area on Black Saturday, and recent photos of family and friends outside their home.
Clem worked on a large overgrown property in Constantia, South Africa to create a more sophisticated garden. He first focused on creating effective drainage systems. Clem also cut down some trees, improving views and light, despite initial resistance. Clem transformed large lawns into defined beds that softened the garden without losing open space. He oversaw borehole creation and irrigation upgrades. The transformed garden impressed the previous owner so much he wanted to buy the house back immediately. Clem completed most work within 4 months.
A new 5,400 square foot two-story home was built in 2005 on Avenida Princesa in San Clemente, CA after demolishing an existing 1960s house. The new home has a 1,200 square foot basement, 900 square foot garage, and 3,300 square feet of living space primarily upstairs to take advantage of ocean views. The downstairs also includes two bedrooms, a bath, and an art studio in addition to the large garage. The Craftsman style home has an elevator accessing all three floors.
This document summarizes a renovation of a Georgian-style home in Bowral, Australia. The renovation was completed by Michael and Camille Ryan and local architect Martin O'Toole. They transformed the property into a home with a French rustic style, compact design, and numerous luxury features. The renovation was completed quickly in just five months due to the experience of those involved and Camille's focus on making timely design decisions. The resulting home blends traditional Georgian elements with French country influences and provides a comfortable space for entertaining friends and family.
The Cavehill Residence is a substantial alteration of an existing single-story house in Seattle to take advantage of views. Living spaces were placed in a new open loft beneath a distinctive butterfly roof, while private spaces are on the ground level. The owners and friends provided much of the construction labor over several years to stay within a severely restricted budget. A simple steel stair connects the lower entry gallery to the upper loft, and rainscreen siding installed by the owners conceals the basic quality of the materials.

Page 10 $1.50Thursday, May 28, 2015 ◆ Pacific Palisades, California
om MacDougall, a
Grammy-winning mu-
sic supervisor for Pix-
ar, and his wife Grace
Wu, executive vice president of
casting at NBC Universal, found
their dream house in the El Medio
Bluffs in 2003.
Originally built in 1948, the
mid-century modern home has
since grown with their family,
which now includes kids Joseph
(11) and Paige (10).
“Grace and I bought the house
because we loved the mid-centu-
ry design and location. The house
also has great ocean and mountain
views, the street is quiet and we can
actually hear the crash of waves at
night (when the traffic on PCH sub-
sides),” MacDougall told the Palisa-
dian-Post.
“As our family grew we needed
more space, and we wanted all the
bedrooms on the second floor. Jo-
seph’s bedroom was originally on
the first floor and we missed him!
So we decided to remodel,” he said.
“We did keep the original footprint
of the house as we consider living
space to be both indoors and out-
doors, so maximizing the square
footage of the house was never a
consideration for us.”
The four-bedroom, five-bath,
3,559 square-foot house boasts an
open concept indoor-outdoor de-
sign with high ceilings and abundant
natural light in addition to a unique
backyard with a lap pool.
Although many homeowners
choose to overhaul the look and feel
of a home when renovating, the Mac-
Dougall/Wu family opted to incorpo-
rate the old with the new.
“With a remodel, sometimes you
inherit quirky remnants of the prior
design. We embraced those wherev-
er we could. This is best seen in the
kids’rooms as Paige has the old mas-
ter bedroom with a private nook for
her desk that used to be an old entry-
way. Joseph’s room is actually two
levels due to the fact that this is the
space where the new and old houses
join,” he elaborated.
After going through the remod-
eling process, Mac Dougall said, “I
would suggest that anyone who can
live in their house before renovating
it, should do so,” he added.
A MID-CENTURY
for a Modern
FamilyModern
The MacDougall/Wu architectural home in El Medio Bluffs, built in
1948 and remodeled in 2012, prides itself on its ocean and mountain
views, open concept indoor-outdoor design and blend of the original
structure with the new remodel.

(10), Joseph (11) and Tom
MacDougall in their living
room, part of an open concept
area that includes the kitchen
and dining room. “Since we
have such great weather,
having the ability to open
the sliding glass doors and
fully expose the outdoors is
great,” Tom MacDougall said.
“It also allows us to cool the
house off, as we have this free
thing called the ocean breeze
just waiting to be allowed
inside.”

backyard.The tiles in the pool match the tiles in the bathroom,
which serves to connect the indoor and outdoor spaces.

Joseph andTom kneel by the fireplace.“We committed to the
modern design philosophy in the use of materials where the same
pieces can be found throughout the house. For example, the tile in
the bathrooms is also used in the pool, and the concrete flooring
goes from the kitchen and living room to the front door and down
the walkway,”Tom MacDougall said.

Joseph and Paige hang out in the living room, with the open dining room
and kitchen areas behind them.“What we like most about this space is I
can be cooking, Grace can be working on her iPad, Joseph can be doing his
homework and Paige can be reading by the fire, and we’re all in the same
space.With high ceilings and abundant natural light, it’s the perfect spot to
do most anything alone or as a family,”Tom MacDougall said.

expand the feeling of what constitutes the living space.

Joseph and Paige take a book out of one of the bright orange metal
lockers in Joseph’s bedroom. The bedroom is two levels because it is where
the new and old houses join. The upper level now serves as a performance
stage for Joseph’s budding career as a DJ.
