Elwood by Robson Rak Architects is a Modern Take on an Old Design

— May 21, 2014 — Art & Design
Robson Rak Architects worked in tandem with Made by Cohen interior designers to transform a slightly older house into an updated design that the owners would appreciate.

The outside of the house has been added onto with a darker gray addition. One can tell that this is not a part of the original design, but even though it stands out, it still works with the overall composition. For the interior, Made by Cohen went with a mostly white look, accented by a few specific color pieces such as a darker sofa and rugs in certain sections of the house. Considering that this is a renovation and the house was not built from scratch, everything looks very modern, which is a complement to both Made by Cohen and Robson Rax Architects.
