Retro Roots

Upon receiving the project, our excitement soared at the prospect of working within the architectural brilliance of Al Beadle's creation. However, we recognized the need to breathe new life into a house seemingly frozen in 1964. Understanding the importance of a modern floor plan, we collaborated with skilled draftsmen to reimagine spaces that resonate with the way we live in 2023. A centerpiece of this transformation was the creation of a spacious open kitchen, a hub for modern living. While embracing contemporary design principles, we remained dedicated to preserving Beadle's architectural essence. Clean lines and expansive windows, hallmark features of mid-century design, were carefully retained to honor the home's original character.

In the spirit of mid-century favorites, we curated material selections that echo the era's aesthetic. Terrazzo and stone finishes were seamlessly integrated, creating a tactile experience that pays homage to the past while embracing the present. Bold and contrasting colors, synonymous with mid-century style, found their place in our design narrative. From the rich hues in the tile to the vibrant wallpaper in the upstairs bedroom, color became a dynamic element infusing the space with warmth and personality. Landscaping emerged as a pivotal element in our revitalization efforts. Embracing a minimalistic approach, we incorporated native plants and full walls of glass, blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces. The result is a seamless connection that invites nature into the heart of the home.

At every step, our commitment was unwavering—to marry modern functionality with Beadle's enduring architectural vision. The result is a home that stands as a testament to the past while embodying the spirit of contemporary living. Join us in the journey of transforming history into a vibrant, livable masterpiece.
