Concept & Materials 

• Arched doorways and ceiling details that reference colonial forms

• Modern vertical timber cladding for warmth and verticality

• Brushed brass, terrazzo, and deep walnut finishes

• A floating staircase redesigned with slim steel and warm timber

• Full-height windows to bring in natural light

• Concealed cabinetry and built-ins that honor minimalism without compromising storage

Execution & Challenges

Working within the constraints of an A&A, the design had to respect certain structural boundaries while allowing for a total reprogramming of function. The challenge was striking the right balance between preservation and reinvention, creating moments where old and new could coexist in harmony.

From circulation flow to façade treatment, the house now offers a tactile, calm, and contemporary living experience rooted in its original spirit.
