This client approached SKA seeking a historically sensitive renovation of their Tudor home, with a focus on refining key interior elements while preserving the character that defines the property. Our role centered on reimagining the fireplace mantel, redesigning the interior railings throughout the home, and enhancing the upper-level bookcases and storage areas to better serve modern living needs.

Each intervention was approached with a deep respect for the home’s original architecture. Rather than introducing competing design elements, the goal was to create a seamless dialogue between old and new where every detail feels as though it has always belonged. The fireplace mantel was carefully proportioned and detailed to act as a focal point within the space, reinforcing the sense of warmth and tradition that is central to Tudor design. Similarly, the railings were thoughtfully redesigned to balance craftsmanship and restraint, contributing to the home’s overall sense of rhythm and continuity.
