Design statement

This family residence came to us as a referral, and what started out as a bathroom renovation turned into a few other projects like more bedrooms, another bath, and an eat-in kitchen with a family room. The inspiration was drawn from the homeowners love for a refined mid-century style that was more modern and warm. Each of the rooms had a unique perspective of balancing both the existing architectural features while creating a unity between all the activities that support a dynamic, and adventurous family.
