This indoor-outdoor home reinterprets the character of its historically significant suburb while celebrating sustainability, aging in place and material connection

The groove lines of the beadboard wall finish in this study/guest bedroom downplay the presence of a wall aperture where a drop-down bed is concealed 

This master bedroom strikes a dramatic chord – scalloped walls were built and wallpapered, and a custom reeded velvet bedhead introduced
