The structure of the
house was kept largely intact to celebrate the exposed beams, high
ceiling, and Japanese ski cabin-esque design. A light greywash was
added to draw the dwelling together, as well as highly crafted
materials and details to enhance its charm and create moments of
architectural interest.
The soft,
minimalist pallet is enhanced by playful touches, a thoughtful
collaboration between the architect and client. A blue velvet
sofa, leather-topped bar stools, carefully chosen hexagonal
doorknobs and collection of unique sculptures the client had
picked up on a trip to Copenhagen create a diacritic space
reflective of her unique personality. “Her direct involvement
and excitement are what made this project so special,” says
project lead designer Lindsey Theobald. “The home isn’t generic
because of her willingness to take risks and add in fun
details.”
