The architectย carefully listened to their needs and desires before startย working. Page Goolrick said to Dwell: โ€œTo solve design problems, you have to look at how a family really lives and works. I think an architectโ€™s job is to celebrate what people really care about and simplify and streamline the rest.โ€

The renovation of this beautiful Mid-century Modern cabinย carefully considered the proximityย to the sea that requiresย materials that adaptย and adjustย over time, asย driftwood,ย but alsoย require little or no maintenance. Also the color palette reflectsย the environment to create a relaxed and warm atmosphere.

Furniture-wise, however, it is an explosion of Mid-century Modernย European and American classics. In the living room/kitchen area over the Saarinen oval table thereโ€™s a Louis Poulsen lamp while Mirror Ball pendants by Tom Dixon hoverย overย the kitchen counter. Aย Tab F1 floor lamp from Flos isย behind the Dunbar sofa designed by Edward Wormley.
