Front elevation, highlighting double-gable entry at the front porch with double-column detail at the porch and garage. Exposed rafter tails and cedar brackets are shown, along with gooseneck vintage-style fixtures at the garage doors.. Brick will be added to the face of the retaining wall, along with extensive landscaping, in the coming months..

This project is an addition to a Greek Revival Farmhouse located in a historic district. The project provided a bedroom suite and included the razing and reconstruction of an existing two car garage below. We also provided a connection from the new garage addition to the existing family room. The addition was designed to feel as though it were always a part of this family home.

The L-shaped bungalow provides privacy from the main house on the property. The path leads guests from the gate down to the teal front door. Black window frames offer less glare than the traditional white.

This storybook Tudor languished on the market due to the lack of bedrooms and their inequitable sizes. In a pre-purchase consultation, we assured the owners that we could yield a four-bedroom house - one primary suite and three additional rooms of near equal size - while maintaining the distinguishing details of the home such as the grand stair. Further, the owners were looking to improve the first-floor functionality of the existing home to support a young growing family. Strollers, shoes, and outerwear were visible and disorganized in the enclosed porch that had become a de facto mudroom. The home had evolved over time to include two forward facing doors; the homeowners primarily used the door into the porch/ mudroom, but consequently felt that the formal entrance for visitors was hierarchically unclear. The first floor’s only bathroom adjacent to the mudroom was dark and cramped.

This family of 5 was quickly out-growing their 1,220sf ranch home on a beautiful corner lot. Rather than adding a 2nd floor, the decision was made to extend the existing ranch plan into the back yard, adding a new 2-car garage below the new space - for a new total of 2,520sf. With a previous addition of a 1-car garage and a small kitchen removed, a large addition was added for Master Bedroom Suite, a 4th bedroom, hall bath, and a completely remodeled living, dining and new Kitchen, open to large new Family Room. The new lower level includes the new Garage and Mudroom. The existing fireplace and chimney remain - with beautifully exposed brick. The homeowners love contemporary design, and finished the home with a gorgeous mix of color, pattern and materials. The project was completed in 2011. Unfortunately, 2 years later, they suffered a massive house fire. The house was then rebuilt again, using the same plans and finishes as the original build, adding only a secondary laundry closet on the main level.

At this front exterior, I had to burn all external coating from the ladders due to paint failure. New paint and coating were applied by brush and roll in the white gloss system.

This project was am early 1960's build and while a lot of the trim was solid cedar the siding was fiber panel sheets from the last 10-20 years and was showing its age on the gables and garage. We completely replaced the siding on the house, overlaid the siding on the garage, replaced the fascia, and painted everything with Sherwin Williams Latitude paint.

This project was an addition and renovation to an existing home. The home became an approximately 3,100 gross square feet of space on a .34 acre lot in northern Massachusetts. The existing ranch style home was completely renovated with the addition of a two car garage and second floor.

This handcrafted home is nestled on a golf course in the mountains, with plenty of outdoor spaces to enjoy the sweeping views. The clean lines and finishes are the perfect backdrop for the custom features of this home, including the exquisite fireplace, hand sculpted curved plaster ceiling in the study, the mirrored hexagon tiles and hammered sink in the bar, and so much more. The wine room is located just off the dining room and features floor to ceiling see-through glass doors and a stone floor. Visible from the entry, it is remarkable by design. The en suite features a pristine all-white bathroom with an entryway of it’s own flanked in custom linen closets that perfectly capture the style of the owners.

The term “forever home” is often used to describe a house that portends to meet all of one’s current and future needs. Attaining such a residence often entails moving from one’s current home, leaving behind years of memories. We had the satisfaction of collaborating with a client to make their existing home into their forever home with smart adaptations that will allow them to age in place…in the house and neighborhood they love. The site is challenging in that the front of the home is perched atop a steep incline, and the home is primarily entered via a more accessible alley in the back. Thus, the home has two “fronts.” The existing low-slung ranch/bungalow had suited this couple for many years. However, newly retired with more free time, the couple sought to create a more gracious home to enjoy entertaining indoors and out, hosting guests for extended stays, and exploring their artistic sides in a proper studio space. A successful project would be a home filled with natural light that allowed them to age in place. A “happy house.” Inspiration for the design was found in the owners’ love of 1920s Arts & Crafts bungalows and bright colors. The existing home provided design cues, such as a porch with stucco columns and shallow arches that had been concealed by a previous renovation. Building upon that, we proposed to reconfigure the roof into a cross-gable to maximize interior space on the second floor while increasing the home’s contextuality with neighboring ones. A new primary bedroom suite with bathroom, his and hers closets, and a dressing room for the lady of the house were created. To maximizing versatility, the dressing room can also be utilized as a guest room. The balance of the second floor includes a hall bathroom and large office, gallery walls to display artwork, storage areas, and even some private meditation spaces with doors hidden behind bookcases. A first-floor addition expanded the casual dining room into the rear garden and created a new art studio. To imbue the middle of the house with light, skylights were introduced over the existing stair; new screened stairwells, inspired by the work of Louis Sullivan, filter the natural light. Acknowledging practical issues of aging in place, all openings were designed to allow easy passage by a wheelchair, and bathroom accommodations include grab bars and roll-in showers. Additionally, a small first floor bathroom was expanded and, along with an adjacent bedroom, will allow for single floor living if necessary. Exterior detailing was again influenced by the Arts & Crafts tradition: deep overhangs, brackets, and tapered columns. New cedar shingles were installed, the original porch restored, and the low arch motif was re-introduced into the design. A new garden of native plantings with an outdoor room anchors the house in the landscape. While one never truly know what the future holds, creating their “forever home” gives the inhabitants peace of mind that they can live in this place that brings them joy and gives them comfort now and, in the days, to come.
