The living area opens onto a deck. A set of benches on ground level were built by the couple for their wedding but have been repurposed here as flexible seating.

The architects used cedar slats to enclose a steel-and-concrete staircase that leads to the master bedroom upstairs.

A gravel path leads from the dining area to a bridge across the restored creek that runs along one side of the house.

A vaulted ceiling interspersed with skylights, in tandem with floor-to-ceiling glass, fills the home with natural light.

The great room feels larger than it actually is, thanks to its vaulted ceiling and ample glass.

Tight confines meant only a few feet of foyer before giving way to the stairway and kitchen, yet the small footprint (and a glass door) helped fill the home with natural light.

The homeowners are known for collecting spirits as well. Fun fact: They sold a few of the bottles to afford their dream dining room fixture.

The slat wall treatment is continued, with the powder-coated metal railing “creating a different language,” says Gregga. Adds Sean: The railing “has such a good feel in your hand.”

The cut-out in the oak cabinetry denotes a sleeping nook for the couple’s cat Mitten.

Gregga left the ceiling exposed to define the cozy lounge area from the rest of the room. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors now open to the backyard.

All of the furnishings are domestically made and were sourced from Erica’s design store, Solsken, in the Palermo district of Buenos Aires. “The leather upholstered chairs and benches won recognition for good design for furniture produced in Argentina, so I’m proud to have them on display here,” she says.

The home’s original facade included wood board and batten finished in light gray and crossbuck designs. Worrell Yeung updated the exterior with a moss-inspired custom dark green finish.

The original stair railing was removed, refurbished, and reinstalled.

The DJ station and record collection is a perfect fit in the living room.

Lutron Sivoia automatic roller shades in a custom valance were mounted to the window mullions, which were also painted Benjamin Moore “Wrought Iron.” The sofa is the Kasala Venice five-piece modular sofa tucked up against bespoke cabinetry by Beechtree Woodworks.

The renovation didn’t change the structure of the home.
