"They were willing to embrace some of the playful quirks of the house, and the same applied to the designers. They chose to work with each quirk not as a constraint but as a point of departure."
"We were just obsessed with it. This little moment that separates the kitchen from the dining room and then the back entry. We just had this vision of embracing it as sort of a working, living pantry."
"The playroom feels cozy in chaos. To add order, cabinets hide toys, there's a small desk for homework, and East London Cloth café curtains filter the light."
"The layout offered a chance to lean into the geometry. It connects to the living room, while a former doorway to the entry was simply sealed and left as is."
The 3,000-square-foot house features historical quirks that influenced its design. Designers embraced these elements, such as an awkward pass-through, transforming it into a functional pantry and display area. The playroom, despite its chaotic feel, was updated with cabinets for toy storage and a small desk. The layout allowed for creative use of geometry, connecting spaces while leaving some doorways sealed. The overall design reflects a balance of playfulness and intentionality, catering to the family's needs and preferences.
