A frame house ideas

A cozy breakfast nook is nestled in the partition wall separating the kitchen and living room.

The renovated apartment sits in a well-preserved residential tower from the 1970s, located in the city's historic Restelo neighborhood.

The all-white kitchen awaits on the second level and is fitted with vintage appliances, cabinetry, and tile flooring.

One unexpected quality of floating stairs is that they interact visually with the wall and ceiling even more than the floor. “You’re able to create some really extraordinary spaces when you use floating stairs as the unifying element that ties these different dimensions and surface materials together,” says Johnson.

The living space includes a Stuv woodburning stove. To balance the raw hemlock, Braithwaite customized industrial touches like Edison-bulb light fixtures that suspend at varying heights on fabric wire.

The Cornelia starts at $185K but can be upgraded with off-grid equipment so you can take it to the sort of secluded site it was imagined to for. Its floors are made from reclaimed hardwood and its board-and-batten interior siding from maple.

Sliding glass doors connect the courtyard with the renovated kitchen and living area.

The main living room is anchored by a stone-and-brick fireplace and overlooks the side patio and lush lawn.
