How does a historic home renovation of William Lawrence Bottomley’s Mediterranean Revival design stay true to its architectural legacy?
At Monument by Green Front, Green Front Furniture’s Den Cralle and SMS Architects’ Matson Roberts lead a historic home renovation with timeless style and modern function. Set on Richmond, VA’s iconic Monument Avenue, they reimagine this 1920s Monument Avenue home for contemporary living while honoring its historic character.
The series explores every step of the transformation: from a custom kitchen design that includes a reimagined kitchen layout to a rooftop terrace restoration based on Bottomley’s original blueprints. Den and Matson make thoughtful design decisions that improve flow, highlight historic architecture, and reintroduce elements lost to time.
Whether you’re passionate about preserving historic homes or seeking design inspiration for your own renovation, this series shows how great architecture can evolve — without losing what made it special in the first place.
