At 19 Irving Avenue, the kitchen reveals itself as both a functional workspace and an early expression of Joseph Eichler’s belief that everyday living should feel open, connected, and intentional. Rather than being tucked away, the kitchen participates in the larger flow of the home—subtly integrated into the surrounding spaces while maintaining its own sense of purpose. 7 There’s a quiet efficiency to the layout. Clean lines, thoughtful storage, and built-in elements reflect a modernist approach where form follows function without excess. Cabinetry and surfaces feel purposeful, designed to support daily routines while maintaining the home’s overall architectural clarity. Nothing is overly ornate; instead, the beauty comes from proportion, material, and simplicity. Light plays a defining role here as well. Open sightlines and proximity to glass walls allow natural light to move through the space, softening its edges and connecting it visually to the outdoors. Even in a working area, Eichler resisted the idea of separation—ensuring the kitchen remained part of the home’s broader indoor-outdoor dialogue. What stands out most is how livable the space feels. It’s easy to imagine it in use—meals being prepared, conversations carrying into adjacent rooms, the boundaries between cooking, dining, and gathering gently dissolving. In this kitchen, Eichler wasn’t just designing for efficiency—he was shaping a new kind of domestic experience, one that felt open, modern, and deeply human.

A mirror- eclectic walk-in closet is a bold and expressive space where artistry meets sophistication. The mirrored surfaces amplify light and depth, creating a glamorous sense of openness while reflecting every design detail like a curated gallery. A statement wallpaper on the ceiling draws the eye upward, adding a layer of surprise and personality that transforms the room into a visual experience. The patterned rug underfoot anchors the space, introducing warmth, texture, and a touch of playful contrast. Every element—mixing vintage and contemporary influences, bold patterns with refined finishes—comes together to form a unique, eclectic balance between luxury and creativity. The result is a walk-in that feels artful, daring, and unforgettable, perfectly suited for someone with a distinct sense of style.

This inviting guest bedroom is a beautiful balance of clean simplicity and personal charm. The signature floor-to-ceiling windows allow natural light to pour in, framing a lush view of the neighborhood while keeping the space open and breathable. A soft sage green feature wall anchors the room with subtle color and serenity—bringing an organic, restful vibe without overpowering the palette. A warm neutral bedspread, light hardwood flooring, and minimalist ceiling fan continue the modern aesthetic found throughout the home, creating cohesion without rigidity. What truly sets this space apart is the layered storytelling: a curated wall collage, a pair of guitars resting in the corner, a stack of favorite books beside a leafy plant. These lived-in elements make the room feel personal and soulful—reflecting our belief that a home should tell a story, not just match a style guide. Designed and built by New Explode Construction, this guest suite offers comfort, sunlight, and a creative heartbeat—proof that even the quietest rooms can still speak volumes.

The home office is right off of the kitchen and is packed with practicality and clever storage solutions. Office supplies are concealed in the slim pencil drawers. Computer towers and shredders are inside vented cabinets. Each child has a drawer for school and artwork projects. The printer and accompanying paper is hidden behind the armoire style doors on the right.

We removed some of the top cabinets and replaced them with open shelves. We also added geometric backsplash tiles and light sconces.
