Designed in 1952 by Perry Johanson of NBBJ, the original interiors were untouched. We stripped down the interior and exterior, carefully keeping the integral mid-century features. Small rooms were removed and spaces opened to flow together; steel doors and sunshades added definition. We kept the heavy timber beams and ceilings, replaced the old windows with new still authentic looking windows, kept trim-less moldings and refinished and reinstalled the original radiators. The kitchen was expanded and redesigned, opening up to a now accessible garage roof with a built in conversation pit.
Without expanding the footprint of the house, it was transformed from modest to impactful. I walk through the house now and see her strength.Open, modern and complete.
