Built in 2006, our client recently purchased the 4,595 sq. ft. residence to stay grounded and near family in a neighborhood he grew up in. A burn victim with an autistic son and teenage daughter, the client wanted a space that is safe, functional, and a representation of his heritage. As such, we designed a functional, family-friendly home in a Contemporary Afro-Centric aesthetic. This residence echoes our staple neutral color palette with a punch of color. We began with the existing architectural features at the request of the client to maintain the soft blue painted walls and cherry wood throughout.
