Philadelphia Home: The New Modern Family Home in Chestnut Hill
With the help of Philadelphia designer Mona Ross Berman, a young family takes a 1907 house from empty shell to utterly sophisticated (but kid-friendly!).
Model Kitchen
In the kitchen, modern amenities and furnishings (custom cabinetry, Shin and Tomoko Azumi’s LEM Piston stools, Alvar Aalto pendant lights) are a sleek counterpart to warm Brazilian-soapstone countertops and traditional elements like the arched double doors, original to the home. The back of the kitchen functions as a butler’s pantry, with a second dishwasher, a wine refrigerator and additional storage.
