Our client purchased a new 3,000 SF spec home that had great bones, great layout and generously proportioned spaces, but some big details felt too “suburban” to him. The client requested: a complete overhaul of the powder room; that the white kitchen be “more inviting and exciting”; that the wall paneling surrounding the TV in the living room be warmer and “more unusual”; that the office have a window bench seat for his dog; that the master suite be warmer and more connected to the conservation land outside the windows. The powder room wall required reinforcement to accommodate a floating stone vanity and lower stone shelf. We had to wire for many new ceiling mounted light fixtures (DR, LR, Office, Entry, Powder Bath, Kitchen and Master Bedroom) which remarkably weren’t included in the original build; this required removing portions of the coffered ceiling in the Office and making adjustments for structural beams that lay on the exact location for several of these pendants. We designed the custom LR paneling on the TV wall-the proportions needed to scale with the vaulted ceiling space; all electrical outlets and switches had to be hidden within the panels or moved; we needed to accommodate a new gas fireplace which required additional venting and resolved the baseboard issue. We designed a new kitchen island that would better suit the client’s needs and ensure that it fit exactly to the current island dimensions because we could not refinish all of the new and very costly flooring. With building a slightly larger island it created a pinch point and couldn’t accommodate a single slab with no seams-the client wanted a seamless island countertop in stone with a 2” thick apron-it took 9 men to transport/transfer and lift it into place! We purchased and installed a new glass door refrigerator and panelized it to match existing cabinetry. Then, we painted all the existing cabinetry on site. We created a seamless 14 ft long and 3 ½ ft deep built-in, with a feather-down, bench seat cushion for the office window seat for the client’s dog.
