This 100-year-old classic Colonial home underwent a thoughtful and transformative renovation, meticulously tailored to the rhythm of a young family. The project achieved a seamless blend of historic elegance and modern utility. Key to the transformation was a highly customized kitchen and mudroom renovation.

Situated along the perimeter of the property, this unique home creates a continuous street wall, both preserving plenty of open yard space and maintaining privacy from the prominent street corner. A one-story mudroom connects the garage to the house at the rear of the lot which required a local zoning variance. The resulting L-shaped plan and the central location of a glass-enclosed stair allow natural light to enter the home from multiple sides of nearly every room. The Arts & Crafts inspired detailing creates a familiar yet unique facade that is sympathetic to the character and scale of the neighborhood. A chevron pattern is a key design element on the window bays and doors and continues inside throughout the interior of the home.

Inspired by the architecture of the prestigious Regent Street in London, the exterior of this city home has an elegant and refined street presence. A thoughtful floor plan cleverly utilizes the project’s narrow site to provide an open, but defined light-filled interior. Custom detailing paired with colorful finishes, create an inviting and vibrant family home.

Perched atop a renovated Gold Coast hotel, this 6,000 sf 2-story penthouse apartment is home to a young family of five. A new wood and glass stair in the center of the plan is the highlight of the modern and clean aesthetic that is present throughout the unit. Plan updates include opening the dining room onto the entry, taking advantage of the natural light and sweeping views of downtown. A full renovation of the kitchen, master suite and children’s wing adds functionality for our clients.

Although built on four lots in the heart of the city, the scale and character of this new, 12,000 single family residence is well integrated with it's historic neighbors, maintaining a park-like setting for the street. The traditional Federal Style detailing of the exterior is well-suited for the character of the neighborhood, providing a formal public front. Once inside, however, the character transforms into a vibrant and light-filled modern Art Deco interior for a young family. The home will also feature a focus on sustainable green design.
