Our creative direction was rooted in the idea of elevated mid-century modern, softened through a feminine, expressive lens. From the beginning, we knew this wasn’t about recreating a retro look — it was about reinterpreting the mid-century spirit in a way that felt deeply personal to the client. Clean lines and classic architecture set the foundation, but our palette introduced warmth, optimism, and personality through blush tones, buttery yellow accents, soft woods, and brushed brass. ‍ We leaned into rounded silhouettes, vintage-inspired lighting, and low-profile furniture that invited comfort without sacrificing style. Every selection — from the sculptural chandelier to the pastel cabinetry — was meant to feel intentional yet relaxed. The creative direction focused on balance: honoring the home’s historic character while introducing a fresh softness that made each space feel like a reflection of her current chapter — joyful, grounded, and entirely hers.

This property was transformed from an 1870s YMCA summer camp into an eclectic family home, built to last for generations. Space was made for a growing family by excavating the slope beneath and raising the ceilings above. Every new detail was made to look vintage, retaining the core essence of the site, while state of the art whole house systems ensure that it functions like 21st century home. This home was featured on the cover of ELLE Décor Magazine in April 2016. G.P.
