The elegant simplicity of creating design elements from structural steel add a functional element of design interest to the room. Clerestory windows help to add natural light without opening the room to the autocourt and street. Large lift and slide doors open to an outdoor living area, creating true indoor-outdoor living space. A wood ceiling adds character without competing with other design elements and art.

While this new home had an architecturally striking exterior, the home’s interior fell short in terms of true functionality and overall style. The most critical element in this renovation was the kitchen and dining area, which needed careful attention to bring it to the level that suited the home and the homeowners. As a graduate of Culinary Institute of America, our client wanted a kitchen that “feels like a restaurant, with the warmth of a home kitchen,” where guests can gather over great food, great wine, and truly feel comfortable in the open concept home. Although it follows a typical chef’s galley layout, the unique design solutions and unusual materials set it apart from the typical kitchen design. Polished countertops, laminated and stainless cabinets fronts, and professional appliances are complemented by the introduction of wood, glass, and blackened metal – materials introduced in the overall design of the house. Unique features include a wall clad in walnut for dangling heavy pots and utensils; a floating, sculptural walnut countertop piece housing an herb garden; an open pantry that serves as a coffee bar and wine station; and a hanging chalkboard that hides a water heater closet and features different coffee offerings available to guests. The dining area addition, enclosed by windows, continues to vivify the organic elements and brings in ample natural light, enhancing the darker finishes and creating additional warmth.

One can see from this "AFTER" picture the improvements that were made to this gorgeous home. The large french doors on the left side of the entry were replaced by a large picture window & new half round window. Additional changes were made on a few of the half rounds by adding gracefully curved style mullions softening the lines of the home. The balconet and balusters above the entry's double doors were refreshed and new flagstone welcomes visitors into this lovely home.. French style traditional shutters were added and brick pavers grace the driveway. All brick was painted the same color as the stucco giving the home a clean bright transitional look. This home was featured in Philadelphia Magazine August 2014 issue to showcase its beauty and excellence.
