Colonial Revival

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 >

Park Loft

Attics have a great potential for more living space in a house without having to build an addition. The challenge comes in the design.

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.

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 >

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

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 >
