Franklin Road New Home
Project Description
This newly constructed custom home in Bryn Mawr, designed by renowned architect Anthony Miksitz, seamlessly merges modern Scandinavian design with classic architectural principles, creating a home that is as stunning as it is functional. With an emphasis on clean lines, open spaces, and a harmonious flow between indoor and outdoor living areas, this home exemplifies the best of contemporary design while respecting timeless geometric forms.
At the heart of the home lies a state-of-the-art kitchen, designed to be both a functional culinary hub and a showpiece. The bold red and white high-gloss cabinetry adds a dynamic pop of color, reflecting the energy of Scandinavian design. Waterfall quartz countertops and high-end stainless steel appliances elevate the space with sleek sophistication, offering both luxury and practicality. Whether for intimate family gatherings or larger-scale entertaining, this kitchen provides a welcoming and stylish atmosphere that is perfect for any occasion.
Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining room is flooded with natural light, courtesy of a strategically placed second-story clerestory. This innovative design element incorporates large glass windows and suspended, low-voltage lights, creating an airy, open atmosphere that enhances both dining and social experiences.
The home’s flooring further accentuates its refined Scandinavian aesthetic. Character-grade oak flooring with a natural finish and wide planks stretches seamlessly throughout the home, adding warmth and texture to the space. This sophisticated woodwork extends to the floating beam staircase, where handcrafted iron railings introduce an element of artistry, elevating the home’s visual appeal. The continuous wood surfaces provide a serene, cohesive backdrop, fostering a sense of calm and connection throughout the living spaces.
A striking stone wood-burning fireplace provides a bold contrast to the minimalist design, becoming a central feature in the family room. Framed by expansive windows, this feature draws attention to the connection between the home’s interior and its beautiful natural surroundings. This space offers the perfect balance of modernity and comfort, ideal for cozy evenings or entertaining guests.
This Bryn Mawr residence represents the perfect blend of modern design principles and luxurious craftsmanship, offering a serene, sophisticated, and highly functional living environment. From its timeless architectural features to its cutting-edge design, this home is a true representation of the highest standards in custom home building.
