Franklin Road New Home
Project Description
This newly constructed custom home in Bryn Mawr, designed by architect Anthony Miksitz, masterfully combines modern Scandinavian influences with timeless architectural principles, creating a stunning and functional living space. The design emphasizes clean lines, open spaces, and a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor areas, reflecting the beauty of both contemporary design and classic geometry.
At the heart of the home is a state-of-the-art kitchen, which showcases sleek, high-gloss cabinetry in bold shades of red and white, adding a vibrant and dynamic element to the space. Complementing the cabinetry are luxurious waterfall quartz countertops, paired with high-end stainless steel appliances, which together embody the simplicity and elegance central to Scandinavian design. The kitchen not only serves as a functional culinary space but also as a focal point for the home, offering a modern aesthetic that invites both family gatherings and sophisticated entertaining.
Just off the kitchen, the dining room is bathed in natural light, thanks to a thoughtfully placed second-story clerestory. This unique design element features large glass windows and dual cables that support low-voltage lights, which hover elegantly above the dining table, creating an inviting and airy atmosphere that enhances the dining experience.
The home’s flooring further underscores its refined Scandinavian aesthetic. Character-grade oak flooring, with its natural finish and wide planks, flows throughout the entire space, providing both warmth and texture. This sophisticated woodwork extends even to the floating beam staircase, where handcrafted iron railings add a touch of artistry and craftsmanship. The continuous wood surfaces create a serene backdrop, promoting a sense of calm and connection within the home.
A striking stone wood-burning fireplace serves as a bold contrast to the otherwise minimalist design, becoming a central feature in the family room. The fireplace is framed by walls of windows, providing ample light and showcasing the home’s connection to its surrounding natural landscape. This space is a perfect blend of coziness and modernity, making it an ideal spot for relaxation or entertaining.
This Bryn Mawr residence is the perfect fusion of modern design principles with luxurious craftsmanship, offering a sophisticated, serene, and highly functional living environment. It’s a true representation of high-end, custom home building, where design, functionality, and aesthetics harmoniously converge.
