1,350 sqft
New Construction Fremont
A ground-up 1,350 sqft new build in Fremont — a fully open-concept main floor anchored by a sculptural entry foyer, a custom walnut kitchen with a suspended hood box, and a continuous flow into the dining and family rooms. Built from the framing up by the Bark & Build team.

The Build
From framing to finished floor — built in-house
This Fremont project is a full 1,350 sqft of new residential construction — framing, sheathing, insulation, mechanical rough-ins, finish carpentry, custom millwork, and final trim — all delivered by the Bark & Build team on a single coordinated schedule. Every finish you see in the photos was placed against a structure we built ourselves, not retrofitted into someone else's framing.
Working from architectural plans, our team coordinated structural framing, Marvin window installation, R-15 insulation, electrical panel work, plumbing rough-in, and full-house ducting — then transitioned the same crew to drywall, finish carpentry, custom walnut cabinetry, and final trim. That continuity is what keeps the work tight and the schedule honest.
During Construction
Walkthrough · Part 01
Walking the Finished Build
A first walkthrough of the completed 1,350 sqft — through the entry foyer, into the open-concept kitchen, and across the connection to the family room.
One material language carried across every room — walnut, white quartz, light oak floors. The result is a 1,350 sqft house that reads like a single, deliberate idea.Bark & Build Builders · CSLB #1119304
Room 01
The Entry Foyer
The arrival sequence is built around verticality. A vaulted ceiling above the entry pulls the eye upward to a square skylight, and a sculptural multi-tier glass-and-gold leaf chandelier cascades down through the volume — the first piece of millwork or lighting any guest sees, and the cue for the design language used everywhere else in the house.
A custom dark pivot front door with frosted glass sidelights anchors the entry, paired with a custom walnut chevron-pattern interior door and concealed coat closet. Light oak plank flooring runs uninterrupted from the foyer through every room beyond.
Room 02
The Kitchen
Drag to explore
A floor-to-ceiling walnut wall absorbs the integrated paneled refrigerator, double wall ovens, and full-height pantry storage into a single unbroken plane. A suspended walnut hood box descends from the recessed ceiling above the cooking island, hung by exposed cables alongside a cluster of circular pendant lights in mixed black and white finishes.
The waterfall island is fabricated from a single bookmatched white quartz with soft grey veining, integrated under-cabinet LED toe-kick lighting glows along the floor line, and a separate prep counter with secondary stainless sink runs the full length of the back wall under the windows.

A Closer Look at the Finishes
A second walkthrough focused on the custom millwork — the walnut cabinetry, the hood box detail, the suspended pendant cluster, and the integrated lighting throughout.
Room 03
Open-Concept Living & Dining
The kitchen opens directly into the dining and family rooms with no transitional walls — a single 1,350 sqft envelope, defined by ceiling treatment, lighting, and recessed wall niches rather than partitions. A coffered tray ceiling drops over the kitchen, the dining ceiling steps back up, and the family room steps up again, giving each zone its own ceiling without breaking sightlines.
A modern dining set with a brass-and-marble pedestal table and mixed-color upholstered chairs sits beneath a sculptural ring pendant. Beyond it, the family room runs the back wall with a leather sectional facing a recessed wall niche containing the television and integrated LED-lit display shelves — every wall doing two jobs at once.
Room 04
The Bedroom Suite
The bedroom carries the same restrained finish set forward — light oak plank flooring continues uninterrupted, a recessed tray ceiling defines the sleeping zone, and a deep window wall with horizontal blinds frames the daylight. A pair of double-track sliding closet doors with frosted glass panels conceal a full-width built-in wardrobe.
A custom walnut chevron-pattern interior door — built and hung by our finish carpenters to match the entry foyer door — provides the room's only point of contrast against the soft taupe walls, tying every primary opening in the house back to a single material decision.
