34 NORTHERN NEVADA ARCHITECTECTURE .18 | 2018 | www.aiann.org ARCHITECTURAL INTERIORS - CAPURRO TRANSFORMATION T o transform a 1930’s bungalow in an older urban area of Reno into a modern dwelling for a professional couple who are empty nesters. Over the last several years the clients had developed a taste for modern architecture, interiors, and furniture. They requested a total transformation of their bungalow into a functioning, energy efficient, modern home. The concept was to manipulate existing tiny rooms into creative volumes of space that feel larger and borrow space from one another, as well as make the spaces more functional with minimal detailing. The clients were encouraged to stay within the perimeter of the existing footprint as the most important sustainable design decision for the project. Prior to the renovation there was only one thing the wife desired to keep of their old lives: a plant that had been a cherished gift. There is a special niche in the living room where the old plant is still thriving. b PROJECT TITLE: Capurro Transformation ARCHITECT: Hawkins Architecture CLIENT: Jen and Keith Capurro BUILDER: Owner YEAR BUILT: 2015
