In the new design, the kitchen, family room, breakfast room, study, and master suite are oriented to have views of the garden pond.

This peaceful master bedroom contains only a bed, night tables, and a single chair by the fireplace. Both the bedroom, and connected sitting room with media center and bar, open to a roof deck with a view of the gardens and pond.

A wall of glass separates the shower and WC from the main bath area featuring a custom vanity and spa tub.

WEST NEWTON HILL

My clients found this Mission Style home on a rare landscaped acre in West Newton. While they appreciate the period detailing, they prefer a cleaner, more contemporary aesthetic.  We were challenged to double the size, and create an open floor plan with clean lines while maintaining the proportions and detailed feel of the original.

​

Our strategy was to maintain but simplify the moldings and detailing, while seamlessly transitioning to more contemporary details.  For example, we replaced the elaborate crown molding in the foyer with a simpler cove molding.  Whenever possible, we replaced doorways with oversized openings to create views and flow between rooms.
