Sanctuary
A beautiful older home in a distinguished historic neighborhood has many lovely qualities, but a kitchen with room for seating, a mudroom or a modern master bath are all unlikely.

Sharp
The owner of this 1980s spec house loved its modern feel but needed to remedy structural issues, like leaky skylights, the aesthetic challenges of a dark, two-story entry foyer, and poor space planning.

Attitude
This home, built in the 1970s, is in a lovely and desirable neighborhood built of thick, natural Butler stone and heavy timber beams. However great the “architectural bones,” the interiors were aging and in need of modern updates and increased natural light.

Finesse
This beautiful historical house, originally built in the 1920s, desperately needed to be brought into the new century and current decade without losing the charm and finesse of its original details.

Respite
The kitchen has become the hub of family life, yet too often homeowners face the same reality as this client – a beautiful, historic home with an obsolete, cramped kitchen built for the needs of a bygone era.
