With its charming fanlight, double front doors, and slate driveway, the brick Georgian was a familiar fixture in designer Susan Jamieson’s childhood. She’d grown up around the corner in Richmond’s Windsor Farms neighborhood. So when her clients called to describe their new house, she couldn’t help but be surprised. “Their taste was modern,” she recalls.

And it was Jamieson they turned to with a huge request—infuse this beloved architectural gem with a fresh, contemporary style. This was no small task.
