The Detail of Dining

From simple to elegant, the purpose behind the setting remains the same — any home’s dining area is a common gathering space for family, friends, and special guests. Here’s a handful of great examples that Giffin & Crane has helped to create, plus a few details about the teams involved and the project overall.

CONTEMPORARY TRANSITIONAL: Maintaining a cool, contemporary look for the exterior, this home’s owners developed a more transitional feel inside by opening up living spaces with warmer colors and textures. The extensive two-story remodel — designed by Tony Spann of Harrison Design — also produced better flow in part with a reinvented kitchen and master bedroom. 

GARDEN COTTAGE REMODEL: Architect Tom Meaney utilized cozy sitting alcoves and ceiling texture and color to maintain the home’s intimate scale throughout its larger interior spaces. Copper, stone, and leaded glass added character to previously informal settings.
