Mission Tudor: When A Home’s Bones Speak for Itself

The Reyna-Buckley Family live in the very first house you see as you enter Land Park Drive. It’s on a (very rare) double lot, and since neighborhood development started near Tower Theater - the original location of Russ Solomon’s global cultural phenomenon - and moved its way towards Land Park as time went on, it’s one of the, if not THE, oldest homes in the whole neighborhood. So we knew right away that we wanted to make sure to honor the home’s history and let the home’s original bones lead us on our design path!

Marie and Tyrone bought the place about a decade ago, and it was a big investment for them, so they spent the next ten years saving up their money for a renovation. They had had two kids along the way, and when the time came to embark on their remodel journey together with us, they had three main priorities: 1) create better flow and functionality throughout the front rooms of their house for their growing family; 2) fully remodel their kitchen, which in its original state was dark and completely closed off from the rest of the house and; 3) create an exterior access point from their kitchen for a better indoor-outdoor connection, since ⅔ of their home’s lot consisted of outdoor space!

Marie had grown up by Mission San Juan Batista in an agricultural-focused community, so she wanted to bring forward some of the detail found in Spanish Revival and Mission style homes. And her biggest priority was to create a welcoming, light and open kitchen, since cooking with and for family and friends was a very important lifelong ritual she wanted to share with her children too.

For Tyrone, honestly he just wanted the house to not be as dark and cramped. He didn’t really have a style he was aiming for, he just wanted us to “make it comfortable”. So for him, we drew upon the home’s existing architectural features - the steep pitched roof, large rectangular windows, the stucco - all which were undeniably Tudor.

Mission style / Spanish Revival homes are near and dear to us. Our own home in Sacramento - the first major remodel project we did together - is a 1930’s home that we fully gutted and re-imagined as a Modern Spanish home. So we jumped at the chance to work with a similar style and build upon it with Tudor touches. For this Mission Tudor home, we wanted to keep the palette more neutral than you might find in a Modern Spanish home - since Tudor homes typically have an earthy palette - but then weave in some of the ornate architectural details found within California’s missions.
