Project Princess

Princess started as a traditional ranch house that was renovated in the mid-2000s. This project reconnected the interiors with the home’s architectural roots through a more contemporary lens. The design moves away from the earlier renovation with rich color, graphic patterns and unexpected materials, while keeping the warmth and simplicity that give the house its character.

Sitting room with a large black-and-white beach photograph over a walnut bench, black leather sling chairs and a fiddle-leaf fig
The house at dusk: a white brick front with three dormers, a long porch with black railings and a walk across the lawn
Hallway with a gray and white checkered marble floor, a large red text painting and black steel doors to the backyard

Deep charcoal walls make a dramatic transition into a brighter space, where graphic artwork and a checkerboard floor bring an unexpected burst of color and pattern. The contrast gives an understated passage a distinct personality.
