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.
