Dunthorpe Residence

The Dunthorpe Residence is a beautiful home built in the 1980’s in the Shingle Style reminiscient of Robert AM Stern’s early residences. The home was originally designed for the client’s young and growing family. Today, as retired ‘empty nesters’ who also enjoy entertaining - the client wished to embark on a full renovation of the home. The client’s vision was to transform the house from a more traditional interior to a more contemporary, transitional aesthetic. The scope of work involved a full kitchen and powder room renovation as well as converting three existing bedrooms to guest rooms with ensuite bathrooms. The client was inspired by a clean, light minimal color and finish palette consistent throughout the home. The footprint of the kitchen remained the same with an island anchoring the center of the kitchen but existing column and walls were removed to create a more open, airy feel and visual connection to the dining space. The driving material in the kitchen was the cream colored Luna Quartzite used for counters surfaces and full a height backsplash. All new appliances were Sub-zero Wolf.
