Modern Mix

The Modern Mix project is a testament to the enduring appeal of classic North Shore architecture, reimagined for contemporary living. Inheriting a property with profound historic charm, the young client family wanted a home that felt deeply rooted in tradition yet highly functional for their modern, bustling lifestyle. The story of this estate is one of thoughtful revival—breathing vibrant new life into stately, historic bones.

Drawing on an architectural background, the design approach focused on preserving original details like the intricate moldings and grand fireplaces, while completely modernizing the home’s flow. We curated a dynamic juxtaposition of old and new, pairing museum-quality antiques and vintage rugs with streamlined, modern upholstery. Custom cabinetry was integrated throughout to provide seamless, hidden storage solutions.

The clients’ ultimate goal was an approachable elegance. They needed spaces that could transition flawlessly from formal holiday entertaining to casual weekend family time. By balancing scale, proportion, and highly personalized art selections, we transformed this historic residence into a welcoming, timeless family home.
