Renovating this traditional home, entailed gutting all three floors, reconfiguring rooms and refreshing the interior to better suit a contemporary lifestyle. From the outset our clients asked us to only respect the classic detailing, to a point. Kitchen, bathrooms, and millwork were to be modern, and not mimic a bygone time. With this direction we selected to unify the home's shell throughout with modest details, quietly reflecting it's origins and designed crisp modern cabinetry in counterpoint.
These photos were taken during our substantial completion walk through (there's still stuff to be done). Wide plank European oak flooring is used throughout. In the custom lacquer kitchen all appliances are by Miele. A frame-less Spark fireplace insert is surrounded by book matched callacata marble for the sitting room feature wall.
This elegant marriage of past and present is now a relaxed back drop for a young family to create their own life and times.
