The inspiration for the aesthetic was rooted in honoring and reviving the character of the original structure, which had a history of over 50 years. The design approach was to work around the existing architecture rather than altering it drastically, aiming for a look that justified the vintage interiors of the house. This approach allowed the new design to complement the existing charm without overshadowing it, creating a seamless harmony between past and present.
