The new build project in Newton, MA, spanning approximately two years, stands as a testament to the collaborative effort between myself and a loyal client with whom I had previously worked on their last house. This time around, my role shifted towards a consultative capacity, where I was entrusted with guiding and advising on every decision related to the creation of their new home.

From the project's inception, my client expressed a strong desire for a design that exuded timeless elegance, leaning heavily towards the traditional side with an abundance of moldings and architectural features. The journey of transforming this vision into reality involved numerous ventures to various suppliers and vendors. Accompanying my client on expeditions to millwork suppliers, stone yards, and wood flooring showrooms became a routine, fostering a hands-on approach to curating the perfect elements for the home.

The meticulous selection process extended beyond construction materials to encompass every aspect of interior design. Furniture shopping and sourcing became a collaborative exploration, ensuring that each piece harmonized seamlessly with the envisioned aesthetic. The palette chosen for finishes and furniture leaned towards a sophisticated array of neutral tones, establishing a canvas that allowed for the integration of timeless design elements.

To infuse a touch of vibrancy and personality into the space, we strategically introduced pops of color, with orange and blue emerging as the chosen hues. These accent tones played a crucial role in elevating the overall aesthetic, injecting life and energy into the classic and elegant backdrop.

As the project unfolded over the course of two years, it became clear that this endeavor was unique in its commitment to achieving the utmost in classic and timeless design. Reflecting on the collaborative journey, the Newton, MA project remains a highlight in my portfolio, showcasing not only the culmination of meticulous planning and execution but also the enduring beauty of a classic and elegant design.
