According to the family’s builder and friend Scott Frankel, the owners desired spaces that would be equally beautiful and livable, which his design-build firm’s team—including project manager James Milford, concept designer Rodney Stevens and residential designer Himanshu Madhani—delivered in spades. “It has a more traditional setting in the front, and although the layout is modern and open, we used elements like ceiling treatments to define each space and French doors across the back to keep it feeling relaxed and not museum-like,” describes Stevens. Notes the wife: “Our goal was comfortable elegance—a family home where nothing is ‘untouchable’ for children but still looks adult and beautiful.”
