ORDER AND GRACE
A model of stately reserve on the outside, the inside of this house with its confusing maze of spaces was anything but. By applying function to the layout of spaces and graciousness to the design of the rooms, this house was transformed from chaos to order.
BREAKING THROUGH
How do you make a kitchen larger when you can’t build an addition because the house is located in a flood plain? The answer is to view the available interior space as a resource and use it to your best advantage.
TRANSFORMING THE TRADITIONAL
What do you do when the neighborhood is perfect, the street is ideal, but the house needs major work? You transform your traditional home to accommodate contemporary living and to reflect the narrative of its inhabitants' lives.
updating the 70's
A very-Brady-style addition was tearing this house apart. A few simple plan moves, a stylistic makeover, and a total transformation was achieved. These layout changes and cosmetic alterations created a space which now blends with and enhances the charm of the existing house.
Finding space
