FAMILY LINEAGE

Originally designed by the architects Dubin + Dubin, and built by the homeowner’s grandfather, this mid-century modern jewel carried deep family significance.

Oversized lift and slide doors, constructed of solid Mahogany, replaced the rear wall of the home to reveal an expansive rear lawn and wooded ravine; blurring the boundary between house and garden.

Inside, the once-compartmentalized kitchen was reimagined as a bright, open gathering space by raising the ceiling and introducing a palette of warm, natural materials; honed Statuary White marble and an island crafted from oiled English Brown Oak.

The exterior work included replacing the failing fenestration with custom solid Mahogany windows and doors, repairing the many integrated copper planters, and restoring the aging masonry. The result, an elegant renewal of heritage with a hint of modern comfort.
