THE MODERN RESIDENCE
LEFT: The owners were looking for a design strategy that respected the
long-standing neighborhood without restricting new ideas and modern
living. Raising the second floor and increasing transparency on the main
level was paramount in achieving this vision. The sensible result combined
a new urban chic genre with an Old-World industrial flair. We used heavy,
stacked timber stairs with leather tread inlays. The railing system is
comprised of delicate metal spindles, transparent enough not to impede
the dramatic view into the living space.
FACING PAGE TOP & BOTTOM: Raw, brushed metal finishes are fashioned
throughout the interior with glimpses of concrete surfaces from the open
kitchen. Two islands were positioned 90 degrees from the back wall to
frame the food preparation functionality desired by the food loving clients.
This exposed layout interfaces not only the dining room, but also the family
room and breakfast nook, resulting in a full 180-degree exposure to its
surroundings.
