Teddy and Louisa's Historic Home Transformation

Hammer Design Build embarked on a transformative journey with Teddy and Louisa to reimagine their historic residence in Silver Spring, MD. The project focused on merging the home's timeless character with modern aesthetics, resulting in a space that exudes both classic charm and contemporary opulence. Under the guidance of Greg Buitrago Jr., Hammer's Creative Director, the renovation honored the original architecture while integrating cutting-edge amenities.

Home Design and Remodeling Wishlist

The vision for Teddy and Louisa's home was clear: preserve the historical essence while creating a modern living environment. The couple desired a renovation that would open up the main living areas, enhance the functionality of the primary suite, and provide seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces. Key elements included a state-of-the-art kitchen, a grand family room with access to a new deck, and a luxurious primary suite, all designed to blend modern minimalism with the elegance of the home's original features.

Remodeling and Architectural Challenges To Overcome

The challenge was to maintain the integrity of the home’s historical features while implementing modern design elements. This included the meticulous preservation of existing pocket doors and the integration of a vintage European fireplace as a new focal point. Each decision was made to ensure that the updates felt cohesive with the original architecture, providing a smooth transition between old and new.

This extensive renovation touched every corner of the home, transforming it into a modern minimalist sanctuary that respects its historical roots. Highlights of the project include:

Kitchen Transformation

The kitchen was redesigned into an open-concept space, featuring high-end appliances, custom cabinetry, and sleek countertops. This area now serves as the heart of the home, perfect for both everyday living and entertaining.

Family Room and Deck Transformation

Inspired by luxurious spa retreats, the main bathroom underwent a complete overhaul to create a sanctuary of relaxation and rejuvenation. The addition of a spacious wet room with a two-person shower and a freestanding soaking tub provides an indulgent escape from the stresses of daily life. With heated tile floors, concrete vanity sinks, and LED backlit mirrors, every detail contributes to the modern elegance of this space. This bathroom renovation exemplifies the transformative power of "A Whole Home Transformation," offering Changfu and David a luxurious retreat within their own home.

Primary Suite Transformation

The primary suite was reimagined to provide a serene and opulent retreat. It includes a White Oak vanity and traditional pinwheel tiles, blending contemporary luxury with classic design elements. The suite is a true sanctuary for relaxation and privacy.
