Delancey Street
2020
Breathe new life into a historic home.
Delancey Street is one of Philadelphia’s most prestigious addresses, but this home’s interior was stuck in the past. Dark, cramped, and dated, it lacked the light, openness, and modern flair that its celebrated location demanded. Winston stepped in to transform this historic gem, turning it into a fresh, casual space that matched the prestige of its address.
Be bold.
Create openness and light.
Winston’s first move was to open up the entire first floor, allowing natural light to flood the space. The open-plan layout gave the home a modern flow, making it feel more breathable and inviting. A dramatic, curving staircase was added to guide guests naturally to the back of the house, where the new dining room and kitchen awaited.
Take risks.
The transformation didn’t stop at the front door. Winston reimagined the exterior, giving it a facelift with a polychrome roof, a custom twisting chimney, and lush wisteria vines. He saw potential in the neglected side yard and turned it into a functional courtyard, expanding the floor plan and increasing the home’s value.
