Our renovation of this 50's era rambler in the Broadmoor neighborhood addressed the idea of ‘openness’ in several ways. First, we provided a seamless connection to the outdoors. This was achieved by replacing existing windows to the rear of the house with a commercial storefront system, effectively opening up that entire façade to allow light and views to pass through unhindered. This storefront system included a large operable sliding panel which, when open, will allow unrestricted flow between interior and exterior. Then, at the interior, we revised the existing segmented floorplan to allow for a seamless interaction between the living, dining and kitchen areas. Similarly, the master bathroom and walk-in closet were altered to provide a greater sense of space and flow. Local artisans were engaged for the finer details, including quarter-sawn sapele kitchen cabinetry, Brandycrag slab countertops, welded steel railings, screens and support details, and hand-made glass tiles.
