"As they assessed the 7,000-square-foot property, which spans two combined row houses and includes six bedrooms and bathrooms, one thing was certain: the challenge wasn't starting from scratch, but refining what was already there. Early on, Buxbaum Gordon and the clients agreed that replacing new materials felt wasteful. Instead, the focus became layering in warmth and personality through finishes and furnishings. The guiding principle was to refine, not rebuild."
""We wanted to keep everything intact since it had been renovated so recently," Buxbaum Gordon says. "So we changed the less-permanent finishes." Patrick Chappell of Tinker and Chance Eiesland was called in to convert half of the garage into a gym and create a his-and-hers closet in the primary suite. Flooring in the entryway and lower level was replaced, and three sets of iron-and-glass doors were installed for a backdrop that better reflected the Gorrans."
The 7,000-square-foot combined row houses contain six bedrooms and bathrooms and required refinement rather than full renovation. The design approach preserved recent renovations and limited changes to less-permanent finishes, layering warmth and personality through finishes and furnishings. Half the garage was converted into a gym and the primary suite gained a his-and-hers closet; entryway and lower-level flooring were replaced and three iron-and-glass doors were installed to better reflect the owners. Custom millwork, marble countertops, and fresh paint provided impactful details, while the kitchen and lounge areas introduced eclectic, old-meets-new elements.
