Traditional Home in White Given a Modern Twist with Restrained Color Palette

A balance between the old and the new often veers towards one of the sides more prominently. Classic, stylish and filled with neutral hues that are cleverly intertwined with pops of bod color, this fabulous home feels as traditional as it does modern. Even from the outside one can easily sense the timeless appeal of the residence and a roof with terracotta tiles adds to this sense of uniqueness draped in history. Window shutters in bluish-gray bring the outdoors inside while large windows bring ample natural light into every room of the house. Fabulous drapes in every room of the house add color and print to the white spaces and add contrast to an otherwise muted setting.

Traditional home given a modern update with a picture-perfect facade that is a showstopper








Designed by Lissa Lee Hickman, the home makeover subtly adds an air of luxury to an otherwise traditional home where everything is restrained and polished. The kitchen and dining area become the new heart of the house and the color scheme remains largely unaltered from the living space to the kitchen. Exquisite blue accents make the biggest impact in the living room while shades of gray usher contrast into the kitchen. A picture-perfect home renovation!

A well-designed home should be equal parts beauty, functionality, and comfort. In achieving this result, my first and most important aspect of the creative process begins with actively listening to the client’s needs. My goal is to design timeless spaces that respect not only the architectural character of the home but also the client’s taste…

A single-family housing scheme was developed, contained in three separate operating modules, distributed among social areas and two pieces that interact independently, solving a program of areas for a master bedroom for two people and four secondary rooms for eight people, including your individual and shared service areas. The interaction with the exterior was proposed through the areas that develop in the palapa. The dining room, the kitchen, the living room, the deck, and the pool, are linked together in a common space, while each unfolds from its movable facade of wooden doors, resolving climate relationships independently and sustainably. The most intimate and contemplative connection happens in the pieces of concrete and wood that contain the rooms, suggesting a protected, safe place, in which, each inhabitant would individually define the type of link with its immediate exterior, from its reading of the place.
