Montgomery Circle Residence

A family home that was destined to grow. Comprehensive interior renovations, a new outdoor living pavilion, and an indoor kitchen that flows seamlessly to an outdoor kitchen allowed this family to grow into their current home. Entertaining and flow of space from inside to out were important in rethinking and shaping how they lived and how this brought their dreams to life.

Arched Outdoor Living

A primary driver for this project was the desire to create a new outdoor living space. This pavilion was located directly off of the back of the house, centered on the formal living room and establishing a connection between the upper and lower tiers of the property. A three centered arch allows for a grand opening and connections between indoor living, outdoor living, and the rest of the property beyond.

Formal Living

Directly ahead of the front entry and grand foyer is a formal living room. A bay window was replaced by French doors providing direct access to the outdoor living pavilion.

Speakeasy

An intimate bar area with custom casework and moody hues emerged from an dated laundry space. It is connected to the formal dining room by a hidden door, giving it a "speakeasy" feel, and has direct access to the outdoor patio. The design process for this renovation centered around ease of flow between indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces.

Aligning Openings

Aligning openings and architectural elements maintain the classic formal character of this home while adding modern amenities. The kitchen opens directly to an outdoor kitchen area. This space aligns with the central arch in the outdoor living pavilion, for a direct view of the outdoor fireplace.
