MOCKINGBIRD VALLEY RESIDENCE
LOUISVILLE, KY
Nestled in the historic Mockingbird Valley neighborhood of Louisville, KY, this stunning 1920s home, designed by renowned architect Stratton Hammon, exemplifies early Art Deco and International styles. Our comprehensive renovation aimed to honor the home's rich architectural legacy while modernizing it for contemporary living.
The design incorporates sleek and streamlined additions, including a meticulously crafted garage that seamlessly integrates with the original structure. The façade retains its bold geometry, clean lines, and symmetrical elegance, enhanced by the newly added striking black-framed windows and the use of timeless materials. The updated whitewashed brick exterior contrasts beautifully with traditional details, such as the classical front portico, providing a harmonious blend of vintage sophistication and modern minimalism.
Inside, the home features light-filled spaces and thoughtful details that elevate its historic character. A dramatic double-height entryway, complete with a skylight, creates a welcoming focal point, while the restored staircase and intricate crown molding pay homage to its original craftsmanship. The living areas maintain an open and airy feel, accented by playful Art Deco-inspired details such as geometric fireplaces and unique ceiling treatments.
The outdoor living spaces, including the rear veranda and poolside patio, provide seamless indoor-outdoor connectivity—a nod to the home's original emphasis on leisure and luxury. Enhanced landscaping and thoughtful hardscape additions extend the home’s livable areas, creating a tranquil retreat in one of Louisville’s most picturesque neighborhoods.
This renovation exemplifies our commitment to preserving architectural heritage while introducing modern functionality, breathing new life into an iconic Louisville landmark.
