This Cambridge home was completely updated and reimagined with clean contemporary lines and bright pops of color within an otherwise muted palette. The smaller footprint of the house now benefits from a more open and airy layout, with rooms that can easily spill into each other for variations of use and privacy. The bathrooms were transformed with sleek tile and glass, and elegant storage solutions were added throughout. The central staircase became a focal point with horizontal metal rails, allowing for the passage of natural light from the first to the third floor, and creating the ideal space to display this bachelor’s unique collection of illustrations.
