Ladue Home

Elevate to Elegance

Located in Ladue, Missouri, this two-story home is a perfect reprieve from bustling city life and a vibrant venue for our clients’ entertainment needs. This mid-70s home featured four key rooms upstairs and four downstairs, with a grand central staircase connecting them. Over the years, the home had changed hands several times and featured scattered designs that didn’t align with our clients’ needs.

One of our greatest challenges in this home was overcoming its layout, which made everything feel closed off. We opened up the home by removing unnecessary walls and creating a more inviting relationship between each room.

In the kitchen, we extended the existing counter space to add more prep space for our clients as well as seating for their guests. We added stunning granite countertops and a wall-to-ceiling backsplash featuring copper-clad tiles.

The home’s simple brick exterior was also completely reimagined. We painted the brick a warm ivory and updated the wood detailing to let the architecture become more subtle. We also elevated the feel of the entryway by adding new 10-foot glass entry doors and gas lanterns on either side.
