"Jett even helped the couple find their new home just outside Columbus. While touring new-build communities together, the designer sensed a disconnect. "They love architecture and history and were telling me all about their travels around the world," he says. "They're natural storytellers, and I wanted them to have the perfect place to write their next chapter." His instincts led them to a Tudor Revival in the leafy suburb of Bexley, where the early-1900s home immediately resonated."
"The house had good bones but an unwieldy layout: too many bedrooms, multiple additions, and a maze-like flow. The first order of business was consolidation. Without changing the home's footprint, Jett reduced the bedroom count from seven to four, creating two primary suites (one for the homeowners and one for guests), along with a nursery for the couple's newborn son. There's also a wellness wing complete with a gym, sauna, and prayer and meditation room; outside, a 2,000-square-foot vegetable garden now flourishes."
Darren Jett redesigned an 8,000-square-foot early-1900s Tudor Revival near Columbus for an Indian-American couple, integrating family history, spiritual symbolism, and bold pattern. He helped them find the home, then simplified an unwieldy layout by reducing bedrooms from seven to four without altering the footprint. The plan created two primary suites, a nursery, and a wellness wing with gym, sauna, and prayer and meditation room. Exterior additions include a 2,000-square-foot vegetable garden. The design balances clients' Indian roots with American vernacular while preserving architectural character and creating narrative-driven, functional spaces for family life.
