Interior

• Kitchen Remodeling
  San Diego, CA February 1, 2007 – R.H. O’Malley, Inc. announced today the completion of the second of two adjacent custom home projects at the River Estates in Rancho Santa Fe, California. The stylish 9,500 square foot home, another successful collaboration of architect William Hayer and designer Fred Gemmell, uniquely combines an Old World exterior with a modern European interior. The five bedroom five and one-half bath residence includes a large study, sit down bar with wine storage, game room, and designated home theater room. The home’s resort-like grounds feature a beach entry pool with twelve person spa and adjacent guest casita. Included in the gourmet kitchen are two islands, slab granite countertops, custom cabinetry, a large walk-in pantry and a full selection of Viking and Bosch appliances.
• Flooring
  Mark also began his construction career in the high end custom home business, providing custom beams and finishes for homes in Santa Monica and Hidden Hills. His designer’s eye helped him migrate into all aspects of finish work, including hardwood flooring. He is responsible for the external operations of RHO and can be found coordinating the activities on our jobsites every day. Mark is also our main client contact and is very skilled at being the liaison between the client, architect, and subcontractors.
• Door Installation/Replacement
• Framing
  The first construction project undertaken by brothers Mark and Matt O’Malley was probably at about age five, working together in the sandbox with their Lego’s™ and Tonka™ trucks. A bit later, they began preparing foundations and framing elite homes in Hollywood and Los Angeles, literally working their way up from the dirt through the entire house.
• Fireplaces
  With full bath and kitchenette. The great room highlights a dramatic fireplace and includes a built-in bar and striking vaulted beam ceilings. State of the art “smart home” technology is installed throughout the estate with control points
• Home Theater Installation
  In every room. Other amenities include solid cherry doors, a custom temperature-controlled wine room, and a home theater room.

Exterior

• Siding
  Mark O’Malley, COO of the firm, adds, “It was personally gratifying to me that we were able to really enhance the beauty of this new custom home with these historic and still very strong timbers that might otherwise have ended up in a landfill somewhere.” Both white oak beams and red elm barn siding, reclaimed from two Wisconsin barns, were used extensively throughout this Spanish-Mediterranean style home to add unmatched warmth and character to the new residence that, to those of a certain age, are reminiscent of Ben Cartwright’s “Ponderosa.”
