2008 Best Residential Interior
 

This home has a classic layout on the main floor, with bedrooms above. The owners wanted a gathering space with warm European industrial chic to fit within the existing home. The space for a second floor family room was there, but it needed finding among the existing rooms.

A bedroom was gutted and opened to the hallway and third floor stairwell, creating a spacious new family room on the second floor while letting light penetrate deep into the home. Another bedroom was created by converting one of the two existing sunrooms. The family room is warmed by floor-to-ceiling cherry bookshelves along one wall and tall cherry cabinetry opposite. Low voltage track lighting highlights the bookshelves, and replacing a massive granite fireplace with a European wood burning stove created a friendlier corner.

The second floor is now open from the west end to the east end of the house, which allows the family to do a number of activities in a variety of areas and still remain close to one another.
