01 / The assignment

Keep the history.
Clarify the update.

This remodeled Spanish Colonial Revival needed a visual story that made its two strengths legible at once: the personality of its 1932 architecture and the ease of a careful contemporary renovation.

House of Pix built a 56-image sequence around the arched openings, exposed beams, Batchelder tile fireplace and ironwork, then carried that language through the expanded kitchen, bright bedrooms and detached guest house.

02 / The Character

Let the original details lead

Exterior and interior compositions repeat the home’s defining forms. White stucco, red clay tile, arches, dark wood and hand-forged metal, so the architecture reads as one continuous idea.

Show what changed.

Give the guest house its own sequence

The detached one-bedroom ADU is treated as a complete residence: exterior arrival, living room, kitchen and private patio. The result makes its independence clear without separating it from the larger property story.

Property note

The strongest listing photography does more than prove that a renovation is new. Here, it shows that the update belongs to the architecture—and that the detached ADU is a genuine second living environment.
