Love this thoroughly modern kitchen, with its clean, functional lines! The countertops are Arctic White Quartz with 2 ½” laminated edges and mitered waterfall end panels. The backsplash is iridescent mosaic glass tile in “Platinum”.

Time had stood still at this 1970s ranch in Armonk when the owners invited us to collaborate with them to transform it into a modern, light-filled home for their young family. The budget was lean, so economy was a primary consideration for every design decision. The challenge was to identify the modest home’s virtues – vaulted ceilings and a lovely backyard – and accentuate them by strategically optimizing available funds.
We were tasked with rectifying a dysfunctional interior stair, connecting to the outdoors with new large windows, and updating the exterior. We focused our attention on a finite set of architectural moves which would have the biggest impact and improve our clients’ daily experience of the home. Detailing was kept simple, using common grade materials and standard components. All exterior walls were revamped with new windows and siding. Although these materials were not particularly costly, thoughtful layout of boards, battens, and openings produced a cohesive, rigorous composition at each facade.
Since the budget would not cover the homeowners’ complete wish list, some items were bracketed for subsequent phases. The challenge was to establish a framework that would allow future work – including a new roof and kitchen renovation – to proceed smoothly.
The homeowners, both scientists, were enthusiastic collaborators, contributing their outstanding design sensibilities to selection of fixtures and finishes. Construction ended just in time for the arrival of their baby – and with that, the transformation of their family home was complete.

This image features a modern kitchen with a clean, minimalist design. A large kitchen island with a white countertop serves as the centerpiece, accompanied by three wooden bar stools with dark cushions. Above the island, three elegant pendant lights with a warm glow hang from the ceiling. The kitchen is outfitted with dark wooden cabinets, a white backsplash with under-cabinet lighting, and stainless steel appliances, including a coffee maker. Open wooden shelving on the left adds a functional yet stylish touch, displaying neatly arranged dishes and decor. The hardwood floor ties the space together, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The brick patio is a secluded outdoor living space within a busy neighborhood, with a grilling area and covered with a modern aluminum pergola for shelter from the sun and the rain. The patio connects through patio doors to a sunroom, merging the indoor and outdoor spaces of the home seamlessly.

For this classic San Francisco William Wurster house, we complemented the iconic modernist architecture, urban landscape, and Bay views with contemporary silhouettes and a neutral color palette. We subtly incorporated the wife's love of all things equine and the husband's passion for sports into the interiors. The family enjoys entertaining, and the multi-level home features a gourmet kitchen, wine room, and ample areas for dining and relaxing. An elevator conveniently climbs to the top floor where a serene master suite awaits.
