This growing family came to us with a small, well-worn bungalow within the historic streets of Frederick, Maryland. Staying within keeping of the character and proportion of the rest of the neighborhood, we transformed this unassuming house into a historic, light-filled, family home.

This house, situated in an orderly garden, was transformed from a one and a half story bungalow into a three-story craftsman-style home, affording the owners a new level of comfort and connection to the outdoors.
The first floor solution features an addition to the rear of the house, creating a new open kitchen and adding a dining area that opens onto a stone porch with pergola.
The den was expanded to include space won from a reconfiguration of the mechanical systems, and the opening from the front room to the dining room was re-envisioned as a craftsman parlor with low walls and square tapered columns.
Making use of bonus storage space under the stair, these shelves provide the family a fabulous place for depositing goods when entering through the side entry.
