SCOPE: Full interior renovation + Furniture

ARCHITECT + CONTRACTOR : Green Gables

PHOTOGRAPHER : George Barberis

The team of Green Gables and Bright Designlab were asked to completely reimagine the interior of this home built in 1954, which included a full architectural finish package. The first priority was to refine the layout taking advantage of the expansive views to the West Hills, which meant relocating a central staircase and a full reconfiguration of the Kitchen. The selected materials and muted palette were carefully considered to evoke an organic, modern aesthetic. In the Living Room, there were existing wood ceilings that we were able to repurpose in a contemporary way to complement the new design and preserve some original details in the home.

The clients requested a private Primary Bedroom with an en suite bath that would take advantage of the views. As part of the programming for four teenagers and frequent visits from parents, each of the additional five bedrooms now have en suite bathrooms as well. Every space throughout the house was designed with purpose, creating understated beauty and high-level function for this family of six.
