A Landmarked town home was destroyed by fire. After completely emptying the shell and working with city agencies to approve the reconstruction, a new house was re-built within the shell of the old. It retains the basic room layout the owners enjoyed pre-fire, but with much improved finishes, details, lighting and construction quality. The rear face was also reimagined in a modern vein with increased penetration of sunlight. Interior Design by Jen Going Interiors.

Cork Flooring combines the beauty of a natural material with the comfort of a cushioned surface. It is durable, acoustical, and a great insulator. The bark of the cork tree is peeled without destroying the tree and it grows back within nine years, ready to be harvested again. Warm to the touch and resilient, cork floors are a joy to live with. Cork is considered a green product because the same tree can be harvested numerous times.

This project is the rebuild of a classic Craftsman bungalow that had been destroyed in a fire. Throughout the design process we balanced the creation of a house that would feel like a true home, to replace the one that had been lost, while managing a budget with challenges from the insurance company, and navigating through a complex approval process.

But in March of 2018, during a heavy storm, the tree fell. We were lucky it didn’t fall toward the house, but it did destroy our two-car-garage, about a third of our patio, and half of a wall.” Instead of rebuilding the garage etc. right away, however, after clearing away all the debris, the homeowners thought: Hey, let’s make lemonade out of this lemon: Let’s get that hot tub now.

This room for three growing boys now gives each of them a private area of their own for sleeping, studying, and displaying their prized possessions. By arranging the beds this way, we were also able to gain a second (much needed) closet/ wardrobe space. Painting the floors gave the idea of a fun rug being there, but without shifting around and getting destroyed by the boys.
