Modern Warmth

When the new homeowners stepped into this untouched 1960s interior—rotary phone still in place—they saw the opportunity for a complete transformation. With a vision for clean, modern design and a referral from friends, they chose Emergent for our comprehensive design-build process.

After spending time in the space, they identified exactly what they needed: a reoriented kitchen, a tucked-away shower in the primary bath, panel-ready appliances, a coffee bar, bold lighting, and space for a formal dining room. We partnered closely with them to guide selections, refine the layout, and bring every detail to life.

The four-month renovation included a full kitchen reconfiguration, removal of a brick fireplace in the sunroom, and high-end finishes throughout. Even with older systems and the usual remodeling curveballs, the project stayed on track.

“It felt like everything always kept moving,” they told us.

The final result is a seamless blend of mid-century character and contemporary functionality—a space that feels both timeless and entirely tailored to their lifestyle.

“It feels like our home… a layout that works so well for our family.”
