    This San Rafael residence was designed by architect Whitney R. Smith, one of the original Case Study House Program architects. The original home built in 1941 was a small residence offering just under 1000 sq. ft. with two bedrooms and 1 bath. In 2007, the owners commissioned architect Ken Kurose to design an addition and remodel. The new design includes a sun-filled entry, an en-suite on both the lower level, and the addition of a second en-suite on the upper level, which includes a private balcony. The well-thought-out design was in keeping with the original and feels open, spacious, and airy, which includes a well-appointed kitchen with custom cabinets and upper-tier appliances. The home’s grounds are zen-like, with outdoor patios that expand the living spaces beyond the exterior walls. The home offers privacy and is centrally located in the very desirable San Rafael area of Pasadena.
