The challenge

What the homeowners needed

Heavy brick, popcorn ceilings and small aluminum sliders made the main living space feel closed-in and dim, even though it faced a beautiful backyard.

Our solution

How we approached it

We replaced the sliders with a full wall of steel-frame glass, reclad the fireplace wall in oak, added a skylight and laid white oak floors that carry the eye straight outside.

“Oakline found space and light we didn’t know we had. We live outside half the year now.”
