Our clients wanted to convert their duplex back into a single family home. They wanted the design to incorporate minimal modern elements mixed with traditional details that suited the style and age of this historic house.
We always try to maintain as much of the original elements and character when designing older homes but changes to the floor plan were necessary to achieve a more efficient layout for modern family life.
We partially opened up the floor plan to allow for added entertaining space in the heart of the house while maintaining much of the cozy quiet private spaces.
The large wood column fireplace pinched the narrow living room making it a bit challenging for a furniture layout. We replaced it with a reclaimed marble mantle that allowed the room to breathe and puts back that lovely classic look surrounded by delicate details.
