Second Avenue

The carriage house has an overhead door to the backyard so it can be opened and used as more entertaining/serving space. The living room and master bedroom on the second floor open completely to the pool with french doors and balconies. A saltwater pool was installed rather than a chlorine pool because it uses less chemicals. Read More >

Park Loft

January 8, 2016 in by
Attics have a great potential for more living space in a house without having to build an addition. The challenge comes in the design. Attic space always looks bigger than it is because there are no walls for reference. A good design will take advantage of the natural roofline to create hierarchy and drama. The Read More >

Neil Avenue Expansion

February 2, 2016 in by
The kitchen, mudroom and bath on the first floor have tile floors with radiant heating.   The built-in window seat in the kitchen gives kids a place to hang out while keeping them from being underfoot. The cabinets in the mudroom were custom designed for the space to blend with the architecture of the home. A Read More >

City Park

The kitchen now opens directly to the family room addition and the backyard. The bright new sunroom brings light to the interior and complements the historic house.

Wilber Avenue

In an old house, sometimes just reworking existing space can solve issues better than adding more space. The house had a large entrance hall that was underutilized, so we tucked a powder room and desk area beyond a new archway to create a better-scaled foyer. By rearranging space upstairs we were able to get two Read More >

Fourth Avenue Porch

To take advantage of views of the park at the end of the street, we incorporated a new second-story balcony into the design.  The balcony is directly off the master bedroom. We replaced all of the windows with new larger windows, added a door to the second floor balcony and custom built a new mahogany Read More >

1901 Revival

January 13, 2016 in by
The old addition had a pantry and bathroom on the first floor. We removed the bathroom and part of the existing brick wall to expanded the kitchen and open it to the backyard. We converted the old pantry space into a new powder room. Details are very important in creating the character of a space. Read More >

“The building looks hip and urban, as if it had been plucked from the warehouse districts of New York or Chicago. Its prominent sawtooth roof and large windows blend with other industrial buildings on the same street. The massive wood ceiling and open staircase lend light and spaciousness to the whole design.”
