The goal for this young family when designing their dream home was to blend their love of a craftsman exterior with a clean-lined, contemporary interior. We paid homage to the wife's Danish heritage by incorporating elements characterized by the Scandinavian movement; functionality, beauty, use of natural materials, soft hues, and a constrained hand in styling. The resulting space feels uncluttered, warm, lived in and welcoming. Also important was maximizing the abundance of natural southern light and introducing views of the lush gardens outside with the addition of large windows.
