This full-home renovation reimagines a traditional residence through a more collected, contemporary lens. Designed around the concept of Urban Classic, the home balances timeless architectural detailing with modern lines, rich natural materials, sculptural lighting, and moments of deeper, more saturated color. Oak woods, expressive artwork, brass accents, and layered textiles introduce personality throughout, creating a home that feels sophisticated without becoming overly formal.

The renovation extends far beyond finishes, with thoughtful architectural changes designed to improve the way the family moves through and experiences the home. The kitchen was completely reconfigured with a new layout and cabinetry, while the foyer and stairwell underwent significant modifications to create a more open, double-height arrival experience. Bathrooms, millwork, lighting, plumbing, and interior finishes were reconsidered throughout the residence, allowing the design language to carry cohesively from one space to the next.

Throughout the main living spaces, traditional architecture is intentionally juxtaposed with cleaner, more contemporary furnishings and details. White oak cabinetry and a streamlined clean-lined range hood give the kitchen a warm, understated presence, while a new fireplace surround anchors the family room and a dedicated coffee bar adds function to the dining space. The library takes a more dramatic approach, using color-drenched walls and ceilings, full-height bookshelves, and layered lighting to create an intimate destination within the home.

Urban Classic is ultimately about contrast: old and new, refined and relaxed, quiet moments and bold expressions. Rather than creating a home defined by a single aesthetic, the renovation layers classic detailing with unexpected materials, art, color, and highly personal spaces. The result is a home that feels evolved rather than newly decorated: functional for everyday family life, rich with character, and designed to become even more beautiful as it is lived in over time.
