What does it take to renovate one of William Lawrence Bottomley’s Mediterranean Revival style homes while staying true to its architectural legacy?
At Monument by Green Front, Green Front Furniture’s Den Cralle and SMS Architects’ Matson Roberts are leading a historic home renovation that brings timeless style and modern functionality into perfect balance. Set on Richmond, VA’s iconic Monument Avenue, this home built in the 1920s is now being carefully reimagined for contemporary living.
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. Along the way, Den and Matson make thoughtful design decisions that improve flow, highlight the historic architecture and reintroduce elements that had been 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.
