With our 2010 Sunset Dream Remodel, our goal was to make the most out of a small house (1,400 square feet) on a not-much-bigger lot. Built when the Silicon Valley was known for producing crops instead of chips, this 90-year-old Spanish-style bungalow in Los Gatos, California, by now needed a makeover and a new location, as it faced a very busy boulevard. Since we couldn't move the three-bedroom house to another site, we did the next best thing: reoriented it toward a side street. Then we gutted it, adding a modest 117 square feet, and reconfigured it with an eye toward using the space smartly and stylishly. The result: a thoroughly modern small home that lives Large.
