North Clinton House 1

.

Design work is continuing for the North Clinton House, in collaboration with Andrew Thorpe.  The full gut and renovation with rear addition and basement walk-out requires all new finishes, fixtures, and complete furnishings throughout.  Recent finds include the Eames DCM chairs, a solid walnut dining table, the Canyon and Neo sofas by Bensen, solid stainless lever handles from Summerhill Hardware and the Titan 1 pendant.  Finishes include quarter sawn UV oiled white oak floors, a refined honed limestone, and white statuary marble with delicate grey veining to be paired with stainless steel.

The space has been transformed by the new side and rear additions, now ready for the exterior black brick and new windows.  The existing footprint of the house has nearly doubled in width, and extended into the rear lot to align with the neighboring rear facade.  The ceiling of the long side addition slopes upward into the house to create a dramatic new space for art, books and a home office.  The divisions in the ceiling are to be illuminated by three long skylights.  The master bedroom will now have a generous new window and walk-out to the garden.

The washrooms have been redesigned with crisp white walls, slate floors, charcoal counters and new fixtures including beautiful ceiling mounted lights that are doubled in the mirrors.

Design work is continuing for the millwork and finishes as the framing and electrical rough-ins near completion.  The palette will be a rich combination of oiled walnut, chrome, quarter sawn solid oak with ebony inlays, white marble, lacquer, limestone and rough hewn slate, with hand made sand-cast hardware. 

Congratulations Suzanne and Arriz!
