Through his design, I was able to realize much more space and function that I thought possible in my small house. He was very collaborative in incorporating my ideas and material choices into the design. His construction documents were extremely detailed and easy for my contractor to follow. He was always available to answer questions and made frequent site visits to make sure the project went smoothly. Overall, I am so glad to have hired Eric for my project because I ended up with a fabulous master suite." - Westlake Village Client A young, Westlake Village, CA family was long overdue to update and reconfigure their dark, poorly ventilated, cramped (5ft wide), inefficient Master Bath. We relocated the HVAC to the ample attic and recomposed the bath & reach-in closet into a more spaciously pleasing, well lit and amply ventilated space, including a new spa tub. The new Master Bath enjoys a 10ft square space, symmetrically lit with a cove skylight. Contemporary fixtures and finishes were smartly chosen including a floating cherrywood vanity, engineered marble floors & counters, satin nickel hardware and full width mirrors. A unique feature is the indirect cove lighting, which continues the diffuse ambient sky lighting after sunset and is designed to bathe the mosaic travertine tile walls with light. The new walk-in master closet can be accessed directly from the bathroom and contains built-in cabinets & shelving. The tub deck continues into the shower as a bench and shelf and also matches the shower niche materials

I've attached a couple of updated shots of the game room in all it's real-life cluttered splendor. It was the best money I've ever spent." "We chose Eric (www.ENRarchitects.com) to design a 430 sq foot game room, with walk-in pantry, built-ins etc in 2010. The kitchen wall was knocked down so the game-room and kitchen are open with a granite bar between them. Great work. He went from color pencil concept sketches, thru approval drawings and finals. The end result is very open and light, with a very large custom skylight providing natural light to the pool table by day. My wife loves the walk-in pantry. Very personable and smart fellow. Not too expensive." A young, Rancho Conejo (Newbury Park) family sought to enlarge their living space with the addition of a 400sf game room/media room, and were willing to give up some limited patio space to do so. We kept the west side of the patio & mature trees for afternoon entertainment under filtered sunlight. The new game room addition adjoined the kitchen with a wide opening, essentially doubling the size of the existing kitchen/breakfast space. The premier ridge skylight over the pool table enlivens the game room with diffuse daylight throughout the day and features ambient evening lighting. The favored existing bay window was simply relocated to the new south wall. The east wall is composed of a built-in entertainment center punctuated with accent windows. A new pantry storage closet is tucked into the NE corner.

"Eric was very professional, knowledgeable and went out of his way to ensure we understood the phases of a major remodel and all of the associated considerations with each phase. I would certainly recommend him." Christine, Camarillo, CA CAD Fly Thru - Residential Front Yard - www.ENRarchitects.com www.enrdesign.com/ENR-TX-portfolio-CAD.html

"Having experienced an architectural relationship with ENR architects I do not hesitate to offer my highest recommendation for their quality of work. Their 100% involvement in the project as well as being readily available helped to make the remodel process a smooth transition. Highly principled with integrity in billing helped to make the project an excellent value for the money spent. A true professional, in the highest sense. I would enthusiastically recommend this company to anyone having interest in their services." - Alan & Margery Beach front living room expansion under existing, cantilevered balcony with full ocean view & open kitchen, designed by ENR architects, Granbury, TX 76049 A vibrant retired couple and their loving puppy, dreamed of widening the beach front view and expanding the entertainment space of their Hollywood era Colony residence, formerly owned by legendary violinist Jascha Heifetz. The original layout and misc. former remodels, left the living space, and view to the sand and waves, constricted by an enclosed galley kitchen. Also, the former linear stair and awkward side entrance consumed valuable space and limited the functionality of the living room and dining room. ENR arcchitects, the project management team, and Roth Development Group, general contractor, removed the kitchen from the beach front view, placing it at the opposite end of the living space, which enabled the entire expanse of the view to be framed in glass and crowned with a cantilevered wood trellis. The former covered porch was enclosed with atrium glass to enlarge the living room, adding 180 sf. The kitchen space is now completely transformed into an open, naturally lit, contemporary peninsula command center that bathes in the ocean view through the new living space. The side entry niche space was converted into a Bar & Laptop desk, keeping a secondary side entrance, fitted with a brightly lit French door. The linear stair was compacted into a winding L-shape, including an accent window, and now provides direct access to the living space, enabling the former dining room to be transformed into a home theater space. The entry was relocated to the street side and features a mahogany 6 ft. French door/sidelite combo with a continuous view through the house to the beach that is introduced from the street through a new landscape arch and the fresh, smooth-troweled, tinted plaster house facade. The success of these significant changes, coupled with the tasteful palette of light colored modern millwork & counters, beautiful natural wood floors, pastel walls, colorful contempory art, and inviting furniture & materials, create a delightful home with a new life to enjoy for generations. www.enrdesign.com/ENR-TX-residential-Kitchen-Malibu.html

Their dream was to convert the former 25-horse ranch, into a 6,000 horsepower, 12-space, sports car collection, including an attached, Guest Suite & Office. The 1-story, 2,200sf existing home & 2-car, 530sf garage, now has an additional 2-car garage, 2-car covered parking, 8-car showcar garage, breezeways, office, and 2nd dwelling, as designed by ENR architects. 930sf Of living space, and 4,500sf of parking & breezeways have been added in a barn style, complimentary of the ranch neighborhood.

Natural, glulam structural wood beams accent each space. The contemporary bathroom features sloped-floor shower/tub enclosure, and wall to ceiling cement plaster finishes. The Kitchen & Living Room are fitted with custom Shaker cabinets and rich, stone counters & splashes. Allen Construction did marvelously attentive work throughout, and Chad Jones Photography did an amazing job of artfully capturing the details, without being overwhelmed by the brightness of the interiors contrasting with the dark cabinetry. The owners were meticulously involved in every design decision, feature placement, material choice, and fixture selection. The entire project is a huge success! Features include: polished concrete floors, Hardi fibercement siding, trim & exterior soffits, Kolbe Vistaluxe windows & doors, custom Real Carriage barn doors, Icycnene Classic spray foam insulation, Fujitsu multi-zone heat pump HVAC, Certainteed Landmark roofing, Rinnai tankless water heating, and residential fire sprinklers. New, underground electrical service was installed at the 2nd Dwelling, and the existing house electrical panel was converted into a sub-panel. Phase-2 will include a wholehouse remodel & addition to the existing home, and a lap pool/spa.

“First of all, we're really pleased overall. We mentioned when we first met you that we wanted someone who would throw some crazy ideas at us and challenge our thinking, and we think you've done a great job of that.” -Scott & Anita 2-Story Whole House Remodel, Covered Patio Addition, BBQ Trellis, Front Porch Entry & Landscape with architectural & structural design by ENR architects, Granbury, TX 76049 This young, professional couple, and their quickly growing children, wisely desired to update their home before the busy parenting years slipped by.
