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…

    Artistic Character The biggest challenge of the project Bunkherr came up at the outset of the collaboration between the client and the architects. The attractive hillside property was located in a former holiday home neighborhood set amidst a picturesque landscape in Hesse, Germany. Due to great dedication, perseverance and a tenacious struggle for the client’s strong desire to build their home in this very attractive place, a construction permit could finally be successfully acquired. The design is based on the idea of a human back, which divides the property into two areas: a public hillside area, which contains the entrance to the house, the garage and a spacious, plaza-like courtyard – an inviting place to share time with friends and neighbors. Even the client’s horse finds room here. And it also has a private valley facing area, which offers a magnificent view of nature. The structure of the building is defined by two building blocks, which are arranged at right angles to one another, the upper floor is cantilevered towards the valley. The private rooms of the parents are accommodated there. Below on the ground floor there is an open kitchen, dining and living area, which is characterized by the room-high glazing. A central design concept was to create spaces for the works of the artistically influenced client. For example, the interior of the house, has sculptures and paintings that add a special personal touch to the timeless, modern style of the house. Only a few materials, such as the white screed, which is not only used on the floor but also on the furniture, and the specially designed wooden boards provide a stylish setting for this.
