Location
Franklin Lakes, New Jersey

 Total Area
3,400 sf

 Scope
Designed and incorporated a modern interpretation of traditional details throughout the residence, such as: baseboards, molding, chair railings, crown molding and extensive built-ins

Residence - Franklin Lakes, NJ

Program
Interior design renovation and historical contextualism for a circa 1600 AD dutch colonial residence

 Challenges
Adding modern details, while preserving the integrity of a colonial floor plan. The existing wood shingles, sandstone floor facade and gable roof were preserved as part of the original structure

Strong architectural consistency, detail orientated continuity between the old and the new enhancements

Digression from the traditional Dutch Colonial floor-plan, by eliminating a portion of the 1st and 2nd floor ceilings, allowing for the creation of an entryway 3 levels high

Installation of exposed roof trusses to empasize the gable roof

Modification of existing exposed beams into a curved ceiling truss

Creation of a modern kitchen with a hint of traditional style. By maintaining the exposed ceilnig beams and paneled doors, while utilizing a palette of green, white, glass and wood, RSA was able to blend the past with the present
