Designed for a couple with two young boys, this project aims to create an open feeling with a smooth flow, warm elegance by way of refined materials and details, as well as much upgraded functions for family living. All the original interior finishes and partition walls in the common areas were removed. An accent wall wrapped with warm walnut panels leads one from the entry up to the open great room. Brilliant white ceilings and perimeter walls help accentuate the sense of space. The sculpted volume of the kitchen anchors one corner and the open living and dining areas connect the interior to the outdoors in both the front and the back of the house.
