A client purchased this original English Tudor house, which had since grown out of date. Bringing the house down to its bare bones let us rearrange the layout to foster better sightlines and communication throughout the house. To add on to the house while preserving its historical integrity, we extended thick walls, introduced new steel windows and doors, and brought in a skeletal structure with the expression of the beams.

The client’s worldly travel and Bohemian attitude brought an old world, Hollywood flare to the interiors. The use of colors, pastels, black, and white all work together to evoke simplicity while at the same time feeling very sophisticated. This was an experiment in materiality, and an experiment that we greatly enjoyed.
