Copper House Remodel

The Copper House was named for the ceiling that was already there — unique, warm, and almost removed before we decided it was the whole point. We kept it, along with the original timber beams +windows, and let those bones lead every decision that followed.

What came in was lighter: new oak floors, simplified trim, and a palette that finally let the architecture breathe. The kitchens and bathrooms were gutted and rebuilt from scratch — all warmth, texture, and intention. This is what a home looks like when you keep the character and design updates around it.

I don’t do many full design projects, but when I do I wish they could all be as amazing as this one. I’ve learned that what truly makes a project great isn’t tile or stone (although those matter too….). No, what really makes a build or remodel special is the relationship you build with the clients throughout the process.

Key Updates

• Replaced flooring with light, wide-plank white oak flooring throughout
• Restructured the entry and enclosed the dining area with a new entertaining wet-bar (with backlit Cristallo countertops)
• New kitchen with wide, white oak cabinets and a custom plaster hood
• Custom limestone fireplace surround and mantle
• Removed stone from fireplace and replaced it with a hand-troweled plaster finish
• Eliminated heavy window trim
• Freshened up bathrooms with earthy, organic textures and a neutral palette
• Combined laundry room and mudroom to create one larger, multi-functional space
