Borrowing influences from both Japanese and Scandinavian design, the home showcases clean lines and simplistic features while incorporating natural elements and textures. Shou sugi ban siding, stone accent walls, organic light fixtures, and pattern tiles contribute to a warm, inviting feel. Light wood tones throughout the home, large walls of windows, and copious green plants round out the design. The open office and great room spaces include a two-sided fireplace to the outdoors, more windows, and a sleek white oak slat wall, which creates privacy from the office without closing off the space entirely. All these unique elements culminate in an intimate portrayal of the homeowners’ collective memories.

Paying homage to classic East Coast style, this Linden Hills oasis features an open-concept main level perfect for entertaining, with resawn timber beams, flat-black metal accents, and white oak floors. The family room boasts a striking white oak accent wall with a custom concrete shelf, while the lower level wet bar includes a one-of-a-kind cigar humidor and a Sub-Zero wine refrigerator. Heated polished concrete floors add a touch of luxury. The Upper level layout is tailored for this growing family and movie nights are enhanced by a home audio system, creating lasting memories. The home also includes a custom gym with vulcanized rubber flooring, ideal for CrossFit workouts. Every detail of this home reflects thoughtful design and timeless style, creating a haven of comfort and elegance.

The original 1939 Cape Cod was charming but a bit lonely on the wide, quarter acre lot. With a fourth child on the way, the couple longed for the convenience of an attached garage, a master bathroom to call their own and more upper-level bedrooms. However, the property’s vintage neighborhood charm – and trees – could not be forgotten. Adding nearly 1,500 square feet up and out fulfilled the family’s needs of wanting more space.

The homeowners loved the location of their small Cape Cod home, but they didn’t love its limited interior space. A 10′ addition along the backside of the home and a brand new 2nd story gave them the exact amount of space that they needed. With a classy monotone exterior and a welcoming front porch, this remodel is a refined example of a transitional style home.

This remodel went from a tiny story-and-a-half Cape Cod, to a charming full two-story home. The exterior features an additional front-facing gable and a beautiful front porch that is perfect for socializing with neighbors. This custom build features an open concept floor plan that is functional for a growing family.
