Steel-and-glass walls enclose two other rooms, now set up as a guest room and office.
Downstairs, a separate family room is defined by exposed steel framing with inset brick walls.
Another view of the living area shows the recessed windows, trimmed in walnut with incorporated bench seating.
Steps down from the kitchen is the living room, delineated by a deep blue. An adjacent staircase leads to the lower-level family room, guest room, and office.
The bespoke kitchen by Plain English pairs olive green cabinetry with a marble countertop and backsplash. The exposed brick wall and concrete floor lend an edge to the material mix.
The glass doors connect the airy kitchen and dining area with the courtyard. At the opposite end of the kitchen, an imposing steel staircase leads up to three bedrooms.
Completed in 2019, this home by London’s TDO Architecture picks up on the local vernacular with a stately brick facade set behind a traditional courtyard entrance. Crittall steel-framed glass doors along the lower level set the stage for industrial-style finishes throughout the interior.
