This custom single-story residence in the gated community of Saint James Village, south of Reno, Nevada is currently in the design stage and scheduled for construction in the fall of 2021. It is 4,350 square feet with two 2-car garages and has a large covered outdoor living area that wraps around three sides of the building as well as a detached gazebo structure. The residence has a large kitchen/dining/living area which opens up to the outdoor living spaces and two guest bedroom suites in addition to the spacious master bedroom suite. The design maximizes views of Mount Rose to the west and Washoe Lake to the south.
This unique project involved the remodeling of an existing 7,222 square foot 2-story mixed use commercial/residential building. The apartment units located on the second floor of the building were completely remodeled and the lower floor was remodeled to accommodate the owner’s extensive classic car collection. New overhead glass doors and storefront provide a full view to the interior. New siding, windows, bold metal fascia elements and stonework have brought this former home of a Subway restaurant back to life.
This project involves adding a garage, living room and master bedroom to the existing 2,235 square foot residence. The roof was completely removed and rebuilt over the existing living/dining area and the entire main level was remodeled. Sunny decks were also added at the living room and master bedroom suite.
This single story structure was transformed into a southwest style home that compliments its southern location. All roof overhangs were removed and new exterior wall sections were applied to completely conceal the existing structure behind. The existing living area roof was removed and rebuilt higher for a more dramatic great room. All other existing features remain and are concealed by the extended stucco exterior wall masses.
This is an exterior renovation project which includes a dramatic entry addition with a floor to ceiling window wall. The entry addition is topped with a pyramid shaped copper roof. A bold copper fascia is supported by massive stone walls that provide a generous covered entry walk and a unique new look.
“I sought out Jim Borelli, from a home that I found in Crystal Bay, that he had designed. My home was dated and not at all appealing on the outside. Jim transformed it into an exceptional architectural jewel. We are totally satisfied with the end product and with Jim’s manner in doing business.”
“I would recommend him without reservation.”

This project involved transforming an unattractive 2-story residence into an inviting mountain style cottage. The existing mansard roof was removed and a new pitched roof was installed over the existing structure without disturbing the interior. A modest living room addition and generous roofs over the entry and deck areas add an extra layer of detail to the building. A mixture of shingle and wood siding, peeled log columns and native stone accents add to this dramatic transformation.
“A few years ago I did an extensive remodel of my house in Brockway. Before I started I interviewed several local architects. Jim won hands down! From the very beginning I could see that he had a good sense of design but was totally open to my ideas. He was very aware of keeping the project within my budget. He even had a contractor friend out to see if the project was feasible before we signed the contract. Jim helped me find a great contractor and was available for questions during the construction.”
“In the end we completely transformed my house from a 70s ugly to a charming home that I love. Nobody can believe that it the same house!”

This major interior and exterior remodel of an existing 4,900 square home includes roof line modifications to increase functionality and curb appeal. The entire great room roof was removed and rebuilt for added ceiling heights, shingle siding and timber accents to provide added visual interest.
A remodel of, and addition to, an existing 3,048 square foot residence features an entry addition and complete remodel of the existing building. The kitchen/dining area was completely reconfigured to provide an open, airy floor plan and the roof was completely removed and redesigned to increase interior volume. Unobstructed views of Lake Tahoe were maximized by the addition of a large floor to ceiling picture windows. A 2-sided stone fireplace provides a subtle division between the living and dining areas. Stone and timber accents add visual interest to the exterior.
“Jim transformed what we referred to as our “big red box” of a house into a beautiful mountain retreat. He worked within the footprint of the existing space with the exception of a new entryway. He maximized the space and views beyond what we had thought was possible. Jim is extremely easy to communicate with as we were 2700 miles away during most of the process. He was timely with the project and did a great job in understanding our style, construction budget and things that were important to us. Additionally, he did an excellent job in managing planning permits and other necessary paperwork with the local agencies. He was also instrumental in helping us pick a General Contractor who was a perfect match for us and our project. The final product ended up being much more than what we thought we could do within our budget. He has great vision and was able to convince us of a few things we weren’t completely sure of and now we can’t imagine it any other way.”
“Jim has a way of understanding how to maximize space, incorporate personal style and create a home that feels like it belongs in Tahoe.”
– Wayne and Karen Marino
