Mid-Century Modern Restoration

Nestled in a wooded, urban lot, this authentic Mid-
Century Modern home underwent an extensive
renovation to modernize the surfaces and systems
while preserving the charm and essence of the original
structure. Constructed in 1957, the 1,260 SF singleowner
home had not been updated in its 60-year
lifespan and was in serious disrepair.

Purchased sight-unseen as the personal home for an
architect with a significant Danish Modern collection,
the painstaking restoration included total replacement
of the roofs, carport, and HVAC system, partial
replacement and repair of the siding, and tuckpointing
the brick fireplace and exterior wall. Period-specific
interior surfaces were preserved and refinished, where
possible, or respectfully and beautifully upgraded
where not. The kitchen, previously hidden behind a
partition wall, was opened to the living spaces and
nature beyond.

Honored by the local preservation society, the home
now serves as a defining structure for Mid-Century
Modern architecture in its region.
