This comprehensive gut renovation represents a radical departure from the home’s original, compartmentalized layout, evolving into a masterclass in warm minimalism. The project was driven by a desire to strip away the superfluous, focusing instead on the purity of form, the integrity of natural materials, and the emotional impact of volumetric space. By removing non-structural partitions and reinforcing the building’s core, the design introduces a "broken-plan" living concept—offering the breathability of an open loft while maintaining a sense of intimacy through subtle architectural transitions.

Materiality and Texture The aesthetic is anchored by a restrained but deeply tactile palette. Wide-plank oak runs throughout the residence, providing a soft, organic foundation that grounds the ethereal brightness of the walls. In lieu of standard paint, the vertical surfaces are finished in a custom hand-applied lime wash, creating a soft, suede-like movement that captures shifting shadows throughout the day. This "soft-modern" approach is further articulated through the use of honed limestone, blackened bronze accents, and custom-milled cabinetry that features integrated finger pulls to maintain uninterrupted visual planes.

Light and Connectivity Central to the architectural intervention was the recalibration of the home’s relationship with light. The fenestration was entirely redesigned, introducing oversized, minimal-frame glazing and strategically placed skylights that act as "light cannons," bathing the interior in a consistent, diffused glow. The transition between indoors and out is treated as a seamless threshold; the interior floor levels were precisely calibrated to match the exterior decking, effectively extending the living square footage into the landscape.

Detailing and Execution True minimalism relies on the perfection of the "invisible" detail. This gut rehab features museum-grade reveals in place of traditional baseboards and crown molding, requiring surgical precision during the framing and drywall phases. All mechanical systems - including linear slot diffusers and integrated smart-lighting arrays - are recessed and concealed, ensuring that the technology serving the home never competes with its architectural soul. The result is a residence that feels less like a house and more like a curated atmosphere, designed for quiet contemplation and effortless modern living.
