Gothic Cottage

January 7, 2016 in by
Each of the four wood exterior doors displays a different vintage pattern, progressing from the formal, half-light front door to the more relaxed, full-light patio door in the rear. We also used divided lite windows and half round gutters – all in the 19th century tradition. We doubled space in the house by adding a Read More >

West Broadway

The traditional design of the addition and renovation are appropriate for the age of the house and the surrounding neighborhood. We took clues from the detailing in the original house to construct the new spaces, while breathing a new openness into the floor plan. The goal was to make each room clean and simple and Read More >

Broad Street

The Master Bath was designed to be open and spacious with separate vanity areas and a sculptural soaking tub. Natural stone, stained wood doors and crisp painted trim creates a spa-like feel in the bath. The third floor is now a media room/guest suite with bath and kitchenette. The ceilings were so tall that we Read More >

Colonial Revival

January 24, 2016 in by
The original house is a simple structure with elegant details, like the brick foundation and wood pilasters. For consistency inside and out, we matched original details so any new work would be seamless. Everything from woodwork to columns and flooring were replicated, even down to the glass doorknobs. The old arched porch hood was salvaged Read More >

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. The detailing on the addition is traditional in inspiration but simplified to compliment the main house and its surroundings. The effect is a garden room that changes with Read More >

1815 Farmhouse

January 7, 2016 in by
When our client bought the house he was the fourth owner and while the home remained historically intact there were serious maintenance issues. He needed practical things like a functional kitchen and a master bathroom but didn’t want to upset the balance or historic patina of the house. Over the years the owner had collected Read More >
