Inside, the team fearlessly eli minated extraneous moldings , b
beams , fussy hardware , elaborate wood pa neling, ornately m illed
an d built -in ca binetry, and gave the kitchen and ba throoms make
to match th e couple's dean-lined aesthetic. Even th e balusters o
grand staircase were replaced with simpler versions to give it a
mini mal demean or.
Ou tside, they bo ldly re moved sh utters an d columns , hidgutters , t
o rnate wood front doo rs for stainless s teel, sheathed th e craggy
facade in velvety s tucco and swapped ou t rustic shjagles for au
galvanized st eel.

floors, b ut t he oak boards they were replacing were n' t th ick enough to
provide th e depth we needed to pour them; notes Saydaks. Instead, he
suggested terrazzo with gray granite chips an d gray epoxy to achieve
the monochromatic e ffect the clients desired. "But it was still too shiny
for th em, so w e ha d It refinished an d buffed three ti mes to make it as
ma tt e as possib le ; says Shiff.
To change th e ho m e's once traditi onal street -side appeara.nce from
stra ight and tall t o low and lithe, Beynssens widened th e fro n t walk;
added a stucco retainin g wall to create a terra ce that echoes the roofli ne
an d emphasizes th e home 's wid th; and pla nted th e lawn with triangles
of blue oat grass an d chedcerboard cubes of aisply cUppedboxwood.
