Forest Hills Residence - Porch

While the Den was originally designed to transition to the Screened Porch by only a bank of windows and a single door, we made the decision to remove the entire wall and in its place install a grand set of six glass sliding doors which gives not only a greater connection with the outdoors but also the flexibility of opening the two spaces to each other during the warmer months. The concept for the heart of the home begins with a monochromatic color scheme comproised of soft, warm neutrals covering comfortable timeless furnishings all contrasted by vibrant hues of kelly green with splashes of a sunny yellow. The earth textures emerge from a dark, hand scraped wood floor grounding the space for the layering on top of natural linens and cottons of the seating, a sisal rug under foor, raw wood found over head in lighting and solid oak beams with a focal point of a cast limestone fireplace all creating a timeless environment for the family's taste to evolve over the many years to come.
