"We believe in connected experiences, where the rooms
themselves are not all the same; they have individuality, but
are connected within a larger story," explains Rehmann. In
this home, some rooms, like the reading room, she notes, "are
more compressed and intimate, while other rooms, such as
the kitchen and family room, really open up in volume and in
light, making this a wonderful place for a whole family to gather
in." The "open floorplan in the kitchen/living areas," she adds,
"reinforces the closeness of friends and family who are invited
into the heart of the home."
Who dare resist the invitation? The place is a splendor, steeped
in character and materiality, with the elaborations of fine French
style in harmonious coexistence with au courant touches. The
space, which began on a traditional track, slowly veered in a
more contemporary direction with the introduction of clean
lines and modern elements, always mixed with a sophisticated
material palette utilizing warm and natural materials that pull in
the tones and textures of the gracious landscape. "Throughout
the home you will find juxtapositions of old versus new, clean
versus rustic, traditional versus modern, and smooth versus
textured," Rehmann remarks of the intriguing frictions that
suffuse the space with an old soul and a fresh spirit.
