"They wanted a proper stair that felt more like townhouse living, and the kitchen was in the back and cut off from everything. OSSO Architecture designed a new staircase and an open kitchen, reworking the layout on the upper floor to fit in as many beds and baths as possible."
"We had a lot of discussion around the back wall. We loved the tall, beautiful old windows and didn't want to lose them, and if we opened it up, that would have required a different configuration of the kitchen."
"We leaned into preserving existing details like plaster crown molding and window trim, replicating some of it, and let those be the features that stand out. The committed white palette emphasizes those original details, including the salvaged parquet floor on the parlor level."
A young couple renovated a duplex condo in a five-story row house to create a family-friendly environment. The project included replacing a spiral stair with a proper staircase, redesigning the kitchen for better connectivity, and maximizing the number of bedrooms and bathrooms. OSSO Architecture preserved original features like plaster crown molding and tall windows while implementing a nearly all-white palette. The renovation also included modern amenities such as central air and European-style radiators, all while maintaining a tight budget.
