Displaying canvases by Steven Criqui (left) and Antonio Adriano Puleo (right), the transformed living room features a sculptural ceiling accented by a grate that brings light from the skylight in the expanded attic space above. Puleo designed the geometric print on the bench, which was made by James Melinat of Reigns Studio, who also built the custom cabinetry and bookshelves. Trifold sliders from Fleetwood open to the rear yard.
The expansive kitchen now blurs into the living room. Vintage stackable chairs from Rotor Deconstruction in Brussels, where Sarolta used to work, surround &Traditionâs In Between table. Behind it, Valchromat cabinetry is juxtaposed with tiles and Nemo Lightingâs Applique Cylindrique Petite wall lamps designed by Charlotte Perriand. Shelves of tableware, like the vintage Karcagi glasses made by the porcelain factory her family once owned, add character.
An oculus overhead of the conversation pit lets in extra light while giving occupants below a glimpse of the sky. The family often hangs out in the conversation pitâsome to read, others to play video gamesâand hidden built-in power adaptors make sure the two sons' electronics are always fully charged.
The redesigned primary bathroom features âVenice Sparseâ tiles from Concrete Collaborative. âMy husband always wanted terrazzo, as he is a true midcentury fan,â says Leah, âand the one we ended up going with reminded me of the beach with some sand tones and beautiful almost sea glass chips in it.â
