Prescott Place 1
We did several design studies to determine the best layout with the most architectural interest. The courtyards were inspired by homes in Italy and Spain where a central garden provides sunlight, fresh air and privacy. The variety of spaces within each condo make it more livable. Some rooms are open and light filled – others Read More >
Shades Of Grey
To create the new kitchen, a bathroom, pantry and basement stair were relocated so the entry could be centered on the dining room. A new doorway was also added to connect to the living room – greatly increasing light and movement throughout the house. Upstairs the master suite was reconfigured and a new door added Read More >
Mid-Century
The basic footprint of the house remained the same. We kept most of the original foundation but expanded ceiling heights from 7’-10” on the old first floor to 9’-0” on the new first and second floors. The double height living room and kitchen are open to each other to become the main gathering space of Read More >

Kossuth Street
We wanted to open up the ‘original’ house to the new addition as much as possible. We removed the brick masonry wall at the back of the house and installed a new steel beam to hold up the second and third floors. We exposed the original brick wall to give color and texture to the Read More >

The bath features classic historic details like chrome plumbing fixtures, pivot mirrors, marble counters and shower bench and hex tile floor. The soaking tub is a nod to the old claw foot tub that would have originally been there. The large shower is a modern feature that updates the function of the bath – it’s Read More >
