Renovations to this historic 1830’s Connecticut farmhouse started with the directive, “I don’t want to lose any of the character and history of the place.” From what had become a dark maze of interior rooms over nearly two centuries, we created a plan for a modern family. We recast the details of the original house in a completely new layout: original baseboards, doors, trims, and flooring complement a modern design with interiors by Fawn Galli that opens views from spacious rooms to the beautiful surrounding mountains.
Douglas C. Wright Architects did right by this beautiful old home, and I love that the new addition is black and seems to fade into the background. Photos: Costa Picadas.

Studio Meghan Eisenberg blends respect for architectural history with bold yet relaxed design. In Treehaven, a 1908 Craftsman in Mount Washington Los Angeles, the design honours the home’s historic character while introducing playful touches for a young family. A key transformation included enclosing the front porch to create a flexible lounge space that flows seamlessly into the dining area.

A bayside Federation home in Melbourne has been beautifully transformed by interior designer Samantha Eisen. The original red brick facade now wears an aged European-style render, while a rear extension opens onto the garden through a wall of glass framed in soft blue, echoing the warmth of the marble fireplace inside. The old porch has given way to a new kitchen and living area, with arched doors leading to the laundry and scullery. Throughout the home, thoughtful design breathes new life into vintage furniture, while custom touches like an aubergine bathtub and a mosaic-tiled loggia add rich character and charm.

The Erskine Residence, designed by B.E. Architecture, is set in Melbourne’s heritage-listed Middle Park. Built with white concrete and limestone, it has a distinctive, serene character. Japanese-inspired walled gardens on both levels bring in natural light while preserving privacy. Tailored to its owners, the home features separate studies, wellness areas and a chef’s kitchen for entertaining. BE Architecture is renowned for its extensive portfolio of thoughtfully crafted residences across Australia.

A retreat to nature for our accomplished New York City clients. Deeply attuned to their environment, our clients partnered with Artemis Landscape Architects to restore the land, reintroducing native flora and seamlessly integrating the home into its natural setting. Our role was to bring warmth and depth to the newly built structure, infusing the interiors with soul, texture, and a narrative that feels both intentional and timeless. Thoughtful layers of materiality, vintage elements, and curated pieces create a home that is both a refuge and a reflection of its surroundings.
Getting behind this when white/cream walls don’t typically get me very excited because in typical Moore House Design fashion, lots of moodiness is added in dark furniture and accessories and the textures are always next level. I really love this Jamestown, RI home.
