This row house blends contemporary aesthetics with timeless design. With guidance from Mowery Marsh, the clients revitalized a historic 1880s brownstone while ensuring it met Passive House standards. Inside, every detail was carefully considered to create a well-crafted home. ESD worked closely with our incredible clients to ensure that the furniture and decorative layers balanced comfort, approachability, and sophistication.
