Once abandoned for more than forty years, this post-war home was given a second life by its new owners. A complete renovation— featuring a thoughtful room layout and a refined selection of materials and fixtures—transforms the house into a tranquil haven. It creates a setting for family and friends to gather and connect, while also offering intimate, private areas for retreat.

Strong connections to nature—from a multi-sliding patio door that opens seamlessly to the backyard, to expansive picture windows that frame views of the surrounding trees in every room— shape the experience throughout. This openness to the outdoors is balanced by its emphasis on quality craftsmanship and meticulous detailing on the inside cultivates a sense of calm, comfort and refuge within.

Previously a gap in the fabric of neighborhood, the house is now reintegrated into the streetscape through a renovation that respects the scale and characters of its surroundings.
