Herrick Road Residence (Newton, MA)

Designed while at Hacin

Tucked into a quiet Newton neighborhood, this residence reflects a refined approach to modern family living, where function is elevated through restraint, proportion, and material clarity. The project focused on key interior interventions, including a reimagined kitchen and primary suite, designed to bring cohesion, warmth, and longevity to the home.

Rather than reinventing the architecture wholesale, the work carefully recalibrates it, removing visual noise, restoring balance, and introducing a more grounded, tactile palette. The result is a home that feels both current and enduring.

“The goal wasn’t to make it feel new, it was to make it feel right.”
— Matthew Arnold

“This is a home with history and roots—but also room to grow,” says Matthew Arnold, principal of ArnoldAnd. “The design needed to evolve with the family.”
