Kentucky Avenue

The renovated façade and interior of Austin and Louise’s Kentucky Avenue home now reflects their tastes and inclinations: A steel bridge with a wood deck stretches across a sunken moat and guides visitors to the front door.

The De Stijl-esque patterning of the new openings communicates Austin’s interest in electronic music. Like his music, the façade has many layers. Also, it has its own distinct rhythm and patterns. The lyrics of his songs may be dark. Even so, the tunes, like DeStijl art, aspire to clarity.

However, this isn’t just decoration: The patterning and layering of the façade follow directly from the layout of the interior spaces. Indoors, the carefully designed casework creates a consistent, contemporary aesthetic. Rigorous drawings make all the difference when it comes to detail.

Though the architecture may not resemble its Kentucky Avenue neighbors, the building somehow fits in: The height is just right, as are the colors and the windows.
