What was once a dark and divided space is now an open family retreat with hideaway spaces for privacy and solitude. Custom sliding doors, and glass railings, contrasting whites and walnut with pops of rich blues and oranges the new living space invites you in with a space for play, eating, comfort and fun. The split level front room is now closed to the front door and offers a quiet space for reading, working or watching a movie, and the joining office with custom desk and upstairs hidden laundry separates the family space from the more private living space which can be closed off on both sides for work or study.
