Roanoke Residence Redo

Modernization brought new life to this grand, 100-year-old Roanoke Park house that was tailored for a sophisticated and stylish family with two rambunctious boys.

This stately house had much to admire but was extremely outdated and direly needed to be revived. The complete interior remodel was approached with a genuine sense of reverence for the original character and craftsman details but with an aim for the unconventional. To enhance the original, the design approach maintained a rigorous attention to clean, simple details to acknowledge newly inserted elements contrasted with isolated and highly curated moments of color and material whimsy.

On the main floor, a warren of weird closets was removed to open up the kitchen and dining room while keeping a vintage built in hutch that ties the two rooms together. The kitchen was completely updated with all new cabinets and central island while preserving the existing glass atrium for a light filled and functional space.

Flowing up the beautiful, open stair with original stained glass windows to the upper level, an unused storage cabinet was transformed into a hidden reading nook with peek-a-boo view to the kitchen. The upstairs landing was reconfigured to suit our modern family, leading to the new master suite, new storage closet, and two new bedrooms with a Jack-and-Jill bathroom.
