This was a renovation rooted in preservation. Rather than erasing the home’s original character, we sought to reveal and elevate it, using new design interventions to highlight the qualities that were already there. Sight-lines and natural light became central to how we re-worked the floor plan, improving flow from kitchen to pantry, opening views through the dining area to the backyard and windows beyond, and allowing the living spaces to feel more connected, open, and serene.


At the heart of the kitchen sits a custom island, designed specifically for this home and its new layout. Extending the full length of the space, it feels both generous and intentional, becoming a focal point that anchors the room without demanding attention. By choosing to omit island pendants, we allowed the architecture and materiality to take precedence, while the skylight above floods the space with natural light, illuminating the subtle details that make this kitchen quietly extraordinary.
