A large part of the project involved relocating the primary suite. Knight-Willcock found space for the primary bathroom by taking over a small existing hall bath, part of a hallway and space from two small closets. (See before-and-after floor plans below.) This allowed room for a double vanity, a generous shower stall and additional storage.

“Heather named this project ‘MCMR,’ which stands for Midcentury Modern Revival,” Luu says. Style-wise, this meant the design honors the home’s midcentury modern vintage while giving it modern conveniences and a warm organic feel.

This view from the bedroom shows a new paneled pocket door partially open on the left. “There is a small hallway to the left of this door. Using a pocket door optimized the space,” Luu says.
