Row House Remodel

摘要

Designer Nicole Cole, principal of vestige HOME, is accustomed to working in Philadelphia's old row houses. She treasures their historical details and time-worn feel. "Even when it's a new space, we want it to feel like there's a bit of story to it," she says. "It should be contextually appropriate." That mindset informed the remodel of this late-1800s row-house kitchen. The homeowners wanted a new space optimized for frequent family meals, and materials had to be tough enough to handle two young boys. It was determined early on that the renovation would not be possible without also addressing the adjacent, awkward half-bath.
