It was both a challenge and a delight creating a modern gem on the bones of an old home in need of TLC.
Working with the filing Architect and maintaining the original footprint and height that was grandfathered in...
We wanted a home that played with the original while working for an active family of today.
We used interesting textures and architectural details and finishes throughout the interior and exterior.
The front facade is both regal and contemporary.
Different moods were created off of a neutral toned yet dramatic 3 story high sweeping stair hall, which is the heart of the home.
The living room and dining room can become formal with the tug of a multi panel Japanese inspired screen.
The family and media room centers on a sleek fireplace.
The kitchen and dinette employ all the elements for family living and entertaining as well as a place for a casual breakfast.
The hall bath has the feeling of a Zen spa with sauna-like wood porcelain against crisp white.
The master bath en-suite is a symphony in chic Black and White.
The third floor takes in and celebrates the original eaves of the building rather than flattening them.
A home stately as well as welcoming!
