THE FUSE

Warm minimalism usually depends on empty space and quiet surfaces. This 14,500 sq. ft. home in Wellesley, 20 minutes west of Boston, applies that restraint to a house occupied by an active family of five, a large dog, and frequent entertaining. Tharon Anderson McEvoy, owner and principal of Tharon Anderson Design, treats minimalism as a durable framework rather than a set of precious surfaces, prioritizing tactile materials that withstand daily use.
