My article came out today on one of my all time favorite projects. Just a small portion of it shown here http://www.stlouishomesmag.com/article/1387

This is a case study on converting a mid century modern house in Ladue, MO that lost it's way over the years. This house had been on the market for quite sometime with very few viewings. I went in to see what the issue could be and was immediately struck that it was lost to an interior that was trying to be traditional with the bones of a modern house. There was a major disconnection and a vast amount of visual confusion. The interior was not inviting in anyway. I am not saying that you cannot do a contemporary interior in a traditional home, because you can but, there is very distinct and detailed way to do achieve this which takes a honed and discerning professional to do. Here are some before photos and after rendering views into the main areas of this study.
