A busy family breathed new life into their mid-century modern home, honoring its clean lines, functional layout, and strong connection to the outdoors while updating it for everyday modern living.

Design goals

Improve daily functionality for a family of four: streamline circulation, add storage, and create durable surfaces that withstand high traffic.

Maximize the home’s panoramic views with minimal visual interruption. Bring in comfortable and inviting furnishings that complement the open floor plan.

Material choices and finishes: A neutral palette of warm wood, soft greys, bright pops of color and crisp white maintain mid-century warmth while feeling fresh. Durable, family-friendly finishes— stain-resistant upholstery.

Outcome: The renovation delivers an elegant balance of past and present. The family now enjoys an efficient, low-maintenance home that supports their busy lives while preserving the architecture’s defining features. Clean sightlines, expanded glazing, and carefully considered materials allow the home to feel both calm and purposeful, with the surrounding views remaining.
