The Lafayette Residence is a 1950s one-story, brick ranch house in a leafy, post-war neighborhood in Savannah, Georgia. Once composed of small, dark spaces in a melange of design styles, a complete renovation transforms it into a contemporary home. A fusion of vintage and modern elements enhances the new open-concept gathering spaces, and a prominent kitchen features custom surfaces in wood and granite. Extending the interior spaces into the outdoors, a large, raised entertaining area, an intimate courtyard, and sculptural water features create a peaceful sanctuary for this modern family.
