Here at Grisafe Architecture, we’re big fans of the Rossmoor community. If you want to live in a safe community with great schools, nearby restaurants and shopping, all within commuting distance to Long Beach, downtown Los Angeles, as well as Orange County cities like Irvine or Santa Ana, Rossmoor is the place to be!
With many of the homes in Rossmoor being built in the 1950s and 1960s, we get a lot of calls at our architecture firm to help with Rossmoor home remodels. As you probably already know, homes were designed a lot differently in the ‘50s and ‘60s than they are now. Kitchens were typically closed off from the rest of the home; home offices were not something most people needed; walk-in closets didn’t come standard; and outdoor spaces were mostly an afterthought in homes of this era. Fortunately, a great Rossmoor home remodel can solve issues like these and bring a home into the 21st century.
There are very few homes in Rossmoor that are still completely original. Most of the Rossmoor homes we’ve seen, as well as the homes in the community that our architecture firm has worked on, have already been through a remodel or two (or more) over the years. Sometimes it’s the case that previous remodels were done poorly or not permitted, but in most cases, the current homeowners just want to change or update the home to make it more suitable for their own family’s lifestyle and make the style of home a reflection of their personal taste.
Here at Grisafe Architecture, we love taking average suburban homes, like many of the homes you’ll find in Rossmoor, and turning them into our clients’ dream homes! Our team specializes in coming up with creative solutions for outdated home layouts and addressing the very specific needs of each of our clients. You might be surprised at what can be done with some creative space planning. You may even end up not needing to expand the footprint of your house to get everything you want, although many of our clients do choose to add square footage to their Rossmoor homes. We can also help modify your home’s exterior to give it some additional architectural interest.
If you love your neighborhood in Rossmoor but need a home that better suits you and your family’s needs, we’d love to help you stay where you are and get the home you want!
When you’re ready to get started, we can set up an initial consultation to discuss your goals for your home remodel and see if our architecture firm is a good fit for your project. Contact our office today to set up an appointment.
