Project Overview
This expansive suburban estate project showcases the perfect blend of traditional architecture and contemporary living. Our team was tasked with transforming an 8,000 sq ft property into a sophisticated family home that honors its classical roots while incorporating modern amenities and comfort.
The clients, a family of five, desired a space that would serve as both an elegant entertaining venue and a comfortable family home. Our comprehensive design approach focused on creating versatile spaces that could effortlessly transition between formal and casual occasions.
Design Approach
Merging classical architecture with modern living
Our design vision for this estate focused on preserving and enhancing its traditional architectural elements while introducing contemporary comfort and functionality. We employed a warm, neutral color palette accented with rich jewel tones, creating a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere throughout the home.
The layout was thoughtfully planned to create distinct zones for formal entertaining, casual family gatherings, and private retreats. Custom millwork and architectural details were incorporated throughout to maintain the estate's classical character while providing modern storage and functionality.
