Ernesto Santalla was approached to create a new home for two Washington, DC lawyers wishing to downsize their living space. The move took them from a row house in Washington's historic Dupont Circle neighborhood to a two bedroom apartment in the vibrant, up-and-coming U Street Corridor. Our task was to transform a rather plain and generic apartment into a custom, sophisticated space in a few strategic moves. Ceiling details serve to define functional areas of the living space without creating divisions. Changing some doors from wood to frosted glass, creates a sense of continuity between spaces, and allows light to travel between spaces. Lighting was inserted strategically, to enhance certain functions of the home. The kitchen was partially enclosed with a plane of frosted glass to create visual separation from the main living space while still allowing natural light to filter in from the expansive wall of floor-to-ceiling windows. Color was used to reinforce the architectural intent and simplify spaces, such as the entry, which as many doors and frames. Furniture was selected to blend with the client's collection of heirloom pieces, creating a sophisticated juxtaposition. Statement pieces like a ceiling light from Viabizzuno create impact while maintaining the visual simplicity of our minimal approach.

A geometric pattern on the bed is a modern neutral starting point. The trim on the euro shams adds a touch of soft blue.

A small space can still have style and function. Traditional oak cabinets combine beautifully with a durable quartz countertop. Aspect Cabinetry in Natural Red Oak with a Square Flat Panel door. LG Viatera Quartz counters in Aria.

We completely remodeled a two-bedroom downsize home for our client, opening up the space as much as we could to add a spacious feel. The neutral palette balances warm and cool hues. New custom art was created just for the space, and we pulled soft hues from them to expand the color choices.

We opted for a downdraft range in lieu of an overhead hood, to avoid blocking the kitchen's views of Saratoga Passage. This required notching out the raised breakfast bar to allow space for the pop-up vent to rise.
