Iconic Walter Durham home gets a new look…..

Designing and updating this architecturally iconic home in Gladwyne was both an honor and a lot of fun. The project was especially meaningful because I had the opportunity to collaborate with my grad school friend, Janine Massaro. Together, we created a beautiful and functional space perfectly suited for a young family of five.

Second, because of the historical importance of this home, it was import to keep, or in some cases recreate, the characteristics of this architectural style; like random width pegged oak floors, detailed millwork, and big bright windows. The existing kitchen floor was tile therefore, we had to try to match the new wood floors to the old in the dining room. This kept a consistent flow throughout the first floor.

Grand Finale- A gorgeous colonnade with newly integrated wood floors.

We selected Calcutta Gold Marble for the custom designed white oak island to keep a classic look in this new space.
