Arboretum
Designer: Allison Jaffe Interior Design
Photography: Sophie Epton
Construction: Skelly Home Renovation
The Arboretum clients hired Allison Jaffe Interior Design to tackle a number of limitations in their recently purchased home. To start their tile flooring was outdated, the kitchen ceilings were dropped, the kitchen storage left something to be desired, and most notably the space felt closed off when they entered the front door with a staircase surrounded by drywall. Once the design plans were final, they were passed off to Skelly Home to begin the execution of construction.
Our personal favorite part of this project is the stairs. Allison Jaffe worked with the existing stair location while creating an open concept with glass and posts, therefore being able to see directly into the kitchen while also reflecting the natural light with the glass. The bold staircase is wrapped with stained white oak, has glass inserts and steel brackets. A perfect design combination of wood, metal, and glass. Construction wise these stairs were a large portion of the project as each post is structural and essential to the framework of the house.
Scroll down to see the below photos. The kitchen storage deficiency was perfectly designed by Allison Jaffe and team. The plan included removing the sliding glass doors and inserting a window instead to obtain more countertop space. This enabled a seating space for two people as well as a pass-through window for the exterior eating space. The kitchen cabinets are flat- panel, full overlay with a combination of paint grade and stain grade- white oak.
In the guest bathroom, we demoed the floor to ceiling storage. A pony wall was also framed out for privacy between the shower and toilet. The tub was converted to a beautiful black and white shower. The vanity is white oak, with an open shelving system at the bottom. This all makes the bathroom space much more spacious and inviting.
