Beacon Hill Home
Located in Beacon Hill, our renovation of a five story row house, fully converts the 19th century brick building’s interior to a modern oasis. Located in one of the most iconic neighborhoods in Beacon Hill, the brownstones in the greater area were designed and built between 1834 and 1847. These homes have been occupied by famous Boston residents such as architect Charles Bulfinch, painter John Singleton Copley, and author Louisa May Alcott. Many residences have been recently renovated and offer treetop views of the Charles River.
Working with Atsu Gunther as the interior designer, we worked to design a clean modern interior with warm neutral tones while abiding by Beacon Hill Historic District exterior aesthetic requirements.
A fluted glass and steel vestibule and sculptural stair welcome both homeowners and guests into the home. The five floors include spaces for entertaining and private quarters for our client and their family. Custom millwork by Furniture Design Services is featured on every floor in French white oak veneer and painted finishes. Three of the original fireplaces have been clad in limestone cabochon fluted tile.
An expansive Lamilux triangular-shaped skylight adds a unique feature to the dining room and large glazing brings light to the space. A small courtyard on the back elevation of the home features a dogwood tree and a private sitting area. To overcome the challenges of working within a historic home with a fixed footprint, we worked closely with extremely talented craftspeople. The result of that collaboration makes the Modern Row House a special project in our portfolio.
