Downtown Living unites two mid-rise apartments in Boston, MA, United States, by Walker Architects into a single elevated home oriented to a sweeping city panorama. The clients—downtown academics—kept their original residence and added an adjacent unit for relaxed gathering, games, and study. The result ties modern simplicity to rich material comfort, from paneled arrival to a long living room anchored by stone and steel, with new finishes extended across the public rooms.
This stunning Newton, MA home underwent a remarkable transformation at the hands of Walker Architects, resulting in a modern masterpiece that seamlessly blends functionality and style. The Chestnut Hill House, originally a dated and incongruous property, was thoughtfully renovated to create a spacious living room, playroom, home office, and guest quarters, all connected by a dramatic open staircase.
The crowning jewel of the project is the new high-performance kitchen, which opens up to a stunning 14-foot tall modern sunroom, establishing a harmonious connection with the beautifully landscaped backyard.
