Bedroom

The three independent rooms upstairs were converted to a main suite with a walk-through closet at the center.

“We sandblasted, I don't know how many layers of paint off the ceiling, but we sandblasted it, and it turned out beautifully,” says Maziarski. “And then we just sealed in its natural color.”

Exposed brick in the main bedroom reveals metal struts inserted by David Cunningham to tighten the party wall's attachment to the facade.

By moving the door to the bathroom, the architects could place a custom headboard against that wall, so the view can be seen from the bed. Custom storage underscores the windows.

The living room was tucked into the front portion of the parlor floor, with a curved velvet sofa from Crate & Barrel and Terrazzo hand-knotted rug from Nordic Knots defining the space. Unexpected pattern is delivered via the Geometric Prints by Marina Ancona at 10 Grand Press, custom drapery using Imogen Heath Anni Stripe Rose, and the owner’s chair reupholstered in Cutout by HBF Textiles. In a perfect combination of the homeowners, the vintage demilune Italian brass tables were refurbished with pink mirrored plexiglass.

They added a primary suite with a balcony on the second floor. “On a beautiful day, you can see the ocean,” Robert says.

The original entryway didn't have the much-needed storage the family of four needed.

The primary bedroom windows frame up-close views of the boulders on the site.

The Modus team gave it more of a studio feel, with bigger living areas connected to the backyard, and a bedroom and bathroom. The blue velvet sofa is a Francesca Grace custom design, placed with a Rishi Black Rope Round Table from TOV and chairs from Poly and Bark.

The twin headboards shaped like clouds were custom-designed by Francesca Grace.
