Rather than starting with an outcome in mind, this 1,400 square foot residence began from a polemic place - exploring shared conviction regarding the concentrated power of living with a smaller footprint. From the gabled silhouette to passive ventilation, the home captures the nostalgia for the past with the sustainable practices of the future. While the exterior materials contrast a calm, minimal palette with the sleek lines of the gabled silhouette, the interior spaces embody a playful, artistic spirit. From the hand painted De Gournay wallpaper in the master bath to the rugged texture of the over-grouted limestone and Portuguese cobblestones, the home is an experience that encapsulates the unexpected and the timeless.

Maximizing space never looked so good! A creative little kids nook under the loft bed does double duty. A reading light and book ledge make this the perfect spot to let the imagination wander.

This bedroom corner features a cheerful yellow tufted armchair paired with a three-legged floor lamp topped with a drum shade, creating a perfect reading nook. Double-layer drapery with a white blackout layer and sheer white layer offers flexible light control, while a blue, grey, and white geometric area rug adds pattern and grounding. Floating and floor-standing square shelves in wood and white provide stylish storage and display, combining function with modern design for a layered, inviting space. Photo by Thomas Kuoh.

This den features built in bookcases with the clients collection of books they've collected over the years. A touch of mid-century modern was added to the space with the Eames lounge chair and ottoman upholstered in leather. A geometric area rug gives this space a sense of world travels.
