Years of neglect had worn away the edges but the bones of this home were solid. The framing was old-growth Douglas fir and we were able to repair foundation damage, earthquake bolt the structure, open up the kitchen and laundry areas, vault the breakfast room ceiling and install a generous master bedroom closet. The repositioning of the front door to center it on a reimagined entry patio flanked by raised planter beds created an entry foyer and eliminated foot traffic through the living room. The overall flow was improved and the new kitchen and bathroom were designed to meld the original architecture and finishes subtlety blending contemporary with traditional to elegant effect.

Bedroom - eclectic bedroom idea in New York

The exterior façades, by itself, awakens ones aesthetic senses. The kitchens most prominent accent feature is located perfectly to receive a flood of natural light. This cooktop feature area has decorative subtleties that enhance the beauty without shocking the design. Specifically, this area is subtly pulled out into the kitchen’s working space and then highlighted with a shaker box wrap hood cabinet which is complimented with a recessed decorative plate shelf. Just below all this elegance is a tone on tone accent mosaic ceramic tile block design. A boarder of glass pencil line accents married next to 4 x 4 tiles encompasses additional tiles laid in a diamond pattern to create contrast and visual interest. This pattern is simplified and continues around the kitchen harmonizing the remaining backsplash. To further emphasize the importance of this work station it is flanked with 2” style cabinetry blocks that are installed both on the base and the wall cabinets; on each side.

The challenge of merging contemporary design with a classic traditional interior is emblematic of the vitality experienced in the evolution of Philadelphia’s urban fabric. The design of this Center City apartment engages a rich discourse between the new and the existing, focusing on areas of the residence that contradicted the new owners’ aesthetic and lifestyle. The elevator opens to the center of the spacious living area that includes the foyer, kitchen and living room. The serene, geometric character of the foyer enhances the sense of arrival – offering a moment to contemplate the owners’ art, the interplay of the old and the new, and the subtleties of light. The kitchen, while fully functional, willingly and quietly participates in the composition. Symmetry and asymmetry are seamlessly woven. The depth and endurance of daily experiences are the ingredients that transform architecture into a vital framework for living. As it relates to a home, the framework requires a resonate balance of comfort and drama, achieved here with a cast of dynamic materials and details that subtly collaborate in simple composition.
