Seeking a retreat from his hectic LA life, the client fell in love with a 1900 Victorian in Napa's historic St. John's District.
He was in escrow when the 2014 earthquake hit.
Damaged by the quake - and years of Napa Creek jumping its banks - the house needed serious seismic retrofit and repair to update and replace critical infrastructure.
An added challenge was opening the home up within the building envelope of 1,500 square feet.
Paul Kelley Architecture set about repositioning the existing stairwell, which had bisected the house.

Walking along a creek in a quiet part of town, the clients fell in love with this historic Victorian farmhouse.
Looking to settle into their "forever home, " they were presented with a house that was split into a closed-off residence downstairs with a separate apartment upstairs.
Paul Kelley set about uniting the two units into one cohesive home, as well as adding a basement area and rear deck.
Kelley had most of the roof removed and installed a new cross gable that allowed the upper floor to be converted into a large living space with a master suite, library, guest room and bath.

An abandoned brick post office, dating back to 1872, was proposed to be the new tasting room for Elizabeth Spencer wines.
The project called for restoration and retrofit of the old brick building, as well as the design of a new tasting-room facility with a kitchen and restroom.
The structural building materials were kept in place without expanding the footprint, combining sustainability with preservation.
Working within the original masonry shell, Paul Kelley Architecture exposed the interior brick surfaces and opened the ceiling to the framing above.
