Architect Gillian Green took a pared-back approach when designing this home. See how she transformed a dark and dated space into a modern home with a reduced palette that still feels warm and inviting. Gillian opened up the main floor to create a layout that lets the natural light flood in, brightening the clean-lined interior. Concrete floors provide depth and movement, while white oak wood cabinets further the warmth. The kitchen is storage-heavy with a large island where people can gather. A large piece of limestone with stacked logs acts as art in the living room, while black and steel finishes maintain the sleek aesthetic.

1. The juxtaposition of the warm sleek timber finishes, clean white walls/counters with simple cement floors is perfect. Such a dramatic change, I was wondering if the exterior of the house was changed. Anyway, well done.
2. well done, really gd
3. I love the restraint and sleekness in not having unnecessary stuff.
4. the concrete flooring 😍
5. It looks amazing. That being said THIS IS NOT MINIMALIST way of presenting a space. What the hell are those blankets, flowers, ornaments, cushions doing there? You wanted to make it pretty for the general public and made your channel director look like a fool in front of an educated design circle. Strip away those tacky ornaments and let the designer's vision be what is presented. She did a wonderful job.
6. I love a minimal interior and think this would look great in a new house or apartment. However its a shame an already beautiful home was ruined for it and stripped from all its history, details and personality.
7. Love the island pendants, someone knows where I can find similar?
8. Still too much decoration.
9. Missing the old charm. If this was a new bill then I would give it  thumbs up for the living room.
10. MInimalist is likely the most home design people looking for..
11. Lesson in minimalism.... AND a lesson in how to spend as much money as possible
12. UGG, to me the history and beauty of the home was destroyed.  I wish I'd never seen the before pix.
13. I like the before better than the after. All the personality of the original house gone with the wind.
14. Wow. I love this so much. Great work!

16. still looks a bit too cluttered for me
17. "minimalist" - still looks cluttered with pretentious crap
18. loved the room , layout and design, very open , clean n quite feel to it. Question. Do the large glass windows cause a problem in the winter or rainy season with the glass being cold and reflecting the same into the rooms. There is a lot of light in the summer but I find rooms or house with a lot of glass to have challenges in the winter. What is your take on it ?
19. thanks for sharing this great video
20. This is my DREAM HOME! So peaceful, so serene. Wonderful job. :)
