Colonial Update

Ernesto Santalla PLLC completed this project in phases, as is the case with many renovation projects. The goal was to create spaces best suited to the client's lifestyle.

Downstairs, the spaces were opened up to improve flow and natural light.

The redesigned spaces reflect the Owner's desire for their home to reflect their lifestyle.

Studio Santalla offers professional services in Architecture, Interior Design, and Product Design.
