About This Project
The Homeowner's Challenge
The homeowners loved everything about living in Tremont, from the walkable neighborhood and nearby restaurants to the views of Downtown Cleveland. While they had already invested in creating a backyard pool oasis, the home’s dated layout and traditional finishes no longer reflected the modern lifestyle they wanted. Their goal was to create a contemporary home with better flow, improved functionality, and stronger connections between the indoor and outdoor living spaces without leaving the neighborhood they loved.
Hurst's Approach
Hurst Design Build Remodel completely reimagined both the interior and exterior of the home, creating an open floor plan designed for entertaining and everyday living. By relocating the centrally located powder room, the team dramatically expanded the kitchen and introduced a large island, custom banquette seating, and improved circulation throughout the first floor. Contemporary finishes, warm natural materials, and bold architectural details brought a fresh, modern aesthetic while preserving the home’s connection to its urban setting.
Key Design Features
- Open concept kitchen centered around a large waterfall-edge island with seating
- Charcoal slab-style cabinetry paired with marble-look quartz countertops
- Wide-plank white oak flooring and custom slat wood accent walls
- Built-in coffee bar and custom banquette for everyday dining
- High-end appliance package with matte black fixtures and modern lighting
- Updated exterior featuring mixed siding materials, a dramatic black entry, and enhanced indoor-outdoor flow to the backyard pool and entertaining spaces
Outcome
The renovation allowed the homeowners to enjoy the best of both worlds: a modern home tailored to their lifestyle while remaining in the vibrant Tremont neighborhood they love. The redesigned spaces flow effortlessly from indoors to outdoors, creating a home that is equally suited for entertaining, relaxing by the pool, and taking advantage of everything city living has to offer.
