This project breathed new life into1940s residence, centering on the transformation of its kitchen into a traditional Craftsman farmhouse masterpiece. The design prioritizes warmth, sophistication, and an inviting atmosphere, with a prominent use of natural wood materials to ensure a timeless and enduring aesthetic. We meticulously reconfigured the kitchen's layout, seamlessly integrating a peninsula and dry bar, and opening the space to the dining room to enhance flow and connectivity. In striking contrast to the kitchen's traditional elegance, we expanded the pantry into a spacious walk-in area, featuring bold wallpaper and custom designs for maximized storage. The adjoining living room offers a relaxed and moody atmosphere, featuring dark furniture, vintage finds, and unique accents—all infused with the family's favorite green hues to foster creativity and comfort.

The bathroom's tile floor was brought into the shower delivering concrete visuals of urban sophistication with a level of endurance true concrete can’t offer. The fan shaped mosaic of the feature wall adds structural dimension and a bit of whimsy.

The planting palette used for areas around the residence literally “lift” to the roof. This green roof reinforces the flow of nature over and around the buildings. The organic, ephemeral quality of the plants provides a contrast to the building’s strong form and enduring materials holding both in an interesting tension.

This nursery design has a nice little twist because it was a makeover design project for baby number two – who for a year endured a hand-me-down, bare bones nursery complete with big sis’s newborn photo still hanging over the changing table. We not only brought in some personalization and custom décor we also inserted tons of missing functionality for mom.
