A thin layer of stucco lightly skims the original brick, allowing it to “ghost” through, adding subtle texture.

Black window frames contrast with the crisp white interiors and echo the lines of the ceiling beams.

A young family called upon architect Donald Lococo to reimagine a 1965 builder-grade home. Shifting the design language from American French Provincial to a fresh Belgian Modern look, he simplified and edited the exterior, replacing fenestration and skimming the original brick with a thin stucco-like finish. Inside, base trim was minimized and crown molding removed. Frequent design collaborator Darryl Carter handled the interiors and Jennifer Horn shaped the landscape.

“Beautiful transformation with simple appeal. Lovely selection of materials.”
