Breathing new life into a tired 1980s-era family home, this transformation focuses on thoughtful floorplan adjustments that enhance flow and connection between the kitchen, living, and dining spaces—while still preserving a sense of separation true to the home's traditional roots. A refined material palette and carefully layered finishes bring warmth, clarity, and calm to everyday family life, creating a home that feels both grounded and elevated.
