Refreshing a Washington Victorian row house

Posted on Fri, 20 Sep 2024 by KiM

A family-focused light renovation for our Downtown Washington DC clients. Our clients asked us to embark on a quick and light refresh of their quaint 2500 square feet Victorian Row house just a few blocks away. They asked for a refresh for their busy family to have a place that felt familiar whilst renovations were embarking on their larger family home.
What a pretty, neutral, and almost minimal home created by Moore House Design. Absolutely loving that canopy bed situation and the sweet bay window vignette in the living room (it’s very ‘Oda & King‘ – IYKYK, featuring a table of theirs). Photos: Zack Dezon.

I’d love to share one of our recent projects where we transformed a 3250 sqft builder-grade home in suburban Markham into a personalized haven for a young family. They wanted a chic, low-maintenance space that reflects their lifestyle, with a focus on functionality and timeless design. The kitchen layout was completely reimagined with a spacious island, creating an open flow into the family room. The master ensuite was designed as a spa-like retreat with a walk-in shower and a large round tub. Throughout the home, we added plenty of storage solutions to keep it clutter-free while maintaining a warm, inviting atmosphere with neutral tones and natural materials. 
Teresa Leung of Studio Lii created such beauty in this home that is simple yet classic and neutral yet very soothing. I can see myself playing with bits of colour and pattern and antiques in here to add some spice with this being an ideal starting point. Photos: Niamh Barry

Vriskaig House

Posted on Thu, 29 Aug 2024 by KiM

Vriskaig House sits above Portree Loch (in the Hebrides – an archipelago off the west coast of the Scottish mainland), sited in a wooded hillside, bedded into its wild context with views across the water. Two volumes intersect; an arching, blackened timber clad form follows the contours of the land, from which a rubbled local stone front wall descends dramatically, concealing further accommodation behind. This blackened timber cladding and natural stone walling reduces the visual impact of the dwelling from distant views.The use of natural materials runs into the interior, a free flowing, generous but understated space. The rough and rugged environment outside is striking, viewed through large expanses of slimline glazing. Clayplaster walls, natural resin floors and ash joinery work together in a carefully curated palette.
This house is very much modern and minimal which offers no distractions to the beauty outside its walls. I could sit on that sofa and watch the view for hours. Designed by Bath-based architecture and interior design firm Room. Photos: Toby Mitchell.
