In love with the neighborhood but not her ’80s-style house, our client wanted to raise her son in a modern home and to increase its resale value. Nearly everything was updated, including the overall layout, new plumbing fixtures, new doors and windows to maximize views and to let in more natural light, raised ceilings and finishes and materials to brighten rooms, and a redesigned kitchen for better functionality and flexibility. A careful mix of organic, natural textures and clean, sleek finishes with pops of color make for a home that is both modern and welcoming with a touch of glam.
