To avoid formality, Phillips created a different environment for each room. The kitchen, for example, is understated by virtue of its simple cabinetry by Boffi, and its white walls that flow with the rest of the house. “What we love about living here,” says Judith, “is that it works well with our young family.

Chris then rolls the cabinets to his desk in the living room to create more surface space. Photo by Kate McElwee.
