It was time for a big decision: with all their children off to college, our clients had a choice between relocating to the city or reimagining their beloved suburban home as an oasis just for them. Feeling free to indulge in more delicate fabrics, glassy surfaces, and sophisticated color palettes, this stately stone home took on an air of playful chic. The living room enjoys fresh, exuberant color while the home office fully embraces the outdoors focused on a tranquil, multi-tiered Japanese garden. Sumptuous, saturated color defines the dramatic staircase and the dining room beyond expresses the luminous metallic glow of a 19th-century Japanese screen.
