The home had not been updated in almost 50 years. Spaces were constrained, the interior materials dated and degraded. We opened internal and external walls, and attempted to fill the interior spaces with the maximal amount of salvaged or sustainably produced materials, including salvaged walnut, salvaged oak, reclaimed banisters and tracery, terra cotta and recycled brick tiles. Trims were painted in bright alluring colors, and built-ins were given arches, tracery and sumptuous moldings. The result is a new renovation that feels warm, enchanting and timeless.
