A home is where your story unfolds. We design spaces that move with your life, using split-levels and natural light to create a residence that feels as personal as a handwritten note.

Glimpses of the Franklin Residence, a home designed to be a warm and personal sanctuary. The video shows how the different split-level spaces flow into one another, creating a connected family environment.

The split-level design of the Franklin Residence creates a visual connection between the living room and the dining area above. The space is filled with natural light and the family's personal art collection.

The same view at night, where warm artificial lighting creates a cozy and intimate atmosphere. The home transforms from a bright, airy space by day to a tranquil retreat by night.

This view shows the multiple levels and connections within the home, from the living area to the stairs and the small balcony. The design encourages movement and interaction.

The steps leading to the dining area also serve as informal seating, a place for conversation. I design spaces to be flexible and adaptable to the rhythms of family life.

Another view of the informal seating on the steps, showcasing how architectural elements can become social spaces.

The main staircase is designed with clean lines and natural materials, with a small plant adding a touch of green.

A different angle of the staircase, showing how it connects the different floors of the home.

The dining area is simple and warm, with wooden furniture and a large piece of art that is personal to the family.

The combination of a bench and chairs around the dining table creates a relaxed, informal dining experience.

About Crafting Personal Narratives

In the Franklin Residence, we used a split-level floor plan to connect the living and dining areas, effectively turning the stairs into casual, informal seating for family interaction. This is not just about furniture placement, it is about how we physically shape your movement and gathering habits throughout the day, ensuring that every corner of your home serves a social purpose rather than sitting empty.
