1. Design Q’s
When remodeling this older home, untouched for over
30 years, we wanted to acknowledge and appreciate the
significant elements of design and the style of the
architecture that was presented in the design of that
time.
We wanted to preserve the existing fashion of the
rooms, modifying them by softly introducing new
contemporary elements that would beautifully connect
and compliment the originality of the timeless quality.
The outer architectural style of the building projected
its significance that worked beautifully when meeting
with the modern style of the interior, creating an
interesting and stylish connection between old and new.

We chose to make kitchen cabinets taller, dressing them in a
crisp white color easily adoptable to the original mode of the
room. It brought the openness and freshness of a modern
look to the room and increased the effectiveness of the space.

worked beautifully with brown tones of the
natural wood flooring, complimenting each
other in a non-traditional setting.

the room, making the room look light and open,
responding to the elegance of the balcony’s railing
outline while displaying the entire magnificent
panoramic view.
