Originally a classic pre-war bungalow, the goal was to open and update the spaces, without destroying or compromising the original character of the property. Preserving, recreating, and echoing the built-ins and painted woodwork of the existing cottage-style design accomplished this.
In the kitchen, high ceilings, a clerestory window, and sliding doors out to the garden add a modern feel, and the modernization extends to the primary suite, smoothly tucked into the attic space. Here, light wood, built-in cabinetry, and a pocket door in the bath make clean and simple use of the space. In the end, our entertainment industry clients had a house that retained its many charms, and also worked as a modern family home.
