Living

The main living room is anchored by an original brick fireplace.

The clients wanted an open-concept living space, connected to the outdoors, where they would feel relaxed and centered. Klopf Architecture preserved the glass wall at the rear of the house while replacing the windows and doors with higher-efficiency Fleetwood models.

Clerestory windows and sliding glass doors span across the main living room.

All the doors have been painted burnt orange—a tribute to Christopher’s grandmother—and match the pads on the homeowners’ seats at the kitchen table. The pebble-inflected concrete floor is original.

Wood-trimmed, floor-to-ceiling glazing wraps around the main living areas.

Expansive glazing and glass doors connect the main living areas to the adjacent patio.

The main living areas are perched on the upper level and frame striking waterfront views.

Flagstone flooring throughout is a nod to the home’s midcentury era. All of the windows had to be replaced, but many were kept in the same spot as the original.

In the main living area, vaulted ceilings and a soaring brick fireplace further enhance the home's overall sense of space.

The remodeled home appears to only be one level from the street, although an additional story is tucked below on the hillside site.

Polished concrete blocks and a concrete floor are contrasted by a birch plywood tray ceiling. Paola and Jason cut the vertical strips in the ceiling themselves and placed fabric behind to soften the acoustics. Custom brackets were added to the modular seating from West Elm, the table top and legs were found on Etsy, and the chandelier is by Avenue Lighting.

A vintage shelving unit provides storage and hallway separation.
