Fairmount Kitchen & Whole Home Remodel

Project Year: 2015
Country: United States
Zip Code: 19103
A true chef's kitchen in a historic Fairmount home! This room incorporates so many cool features: high-end appliances, dual-finish cabinetry, farm sink, wet bar, mini work space, vibrant colors, a preserved scalloped ceiling — and, of course, the pot filler!

We love the deep, warm finish of these lower Shaker-style cabinets and the contrast provided by the “leather finish” granite countertop. The shiny subway tile features a semi-opaque white glaze over the gingerbread-colored clay body, providing great texture for this new space.

In this new breakfast room, we installed a wet bar and incorporated the original cast iron, coal-fired cooker that you see peeking out at the right. The owners of this house love this piece and will now use it as a sideboard/serving area. We built the wooden shelves overhead for them to display...

This is the ceiling in the new kitchen was space we reclaimed from the old privy and shed areas of the tiny back yard on this urban lot. The old privy and shed were outside of the house's envelope. The scalloped ceiling you see here was the iron and concrete floor for the second floor!

This is the new range area of the new kitchen in this very large Philadelphia Victorian. We maximized storage by employing custom pull out drawers for things like herbs and spices by the range and a shallow drawer over a deeper one to the right for cooking tools and pots and pans.

A view of the farmers sink in this city kitchen. This sink is situated almost exactly over the location of the old back yard privy! Don't worry we installed modern plumbing for this new modern kitchen.

We rebuilt this cupola-bay area of this historic Philadelphia Victorian twin house. Most of the house is of brick with some flourishes like this bay made of wood. Check out the views of the interior of this space which show a tall curved stained glass filled ceiling space above this lovely light...

Our company does design build projects primarily on older houses. That means we typically have to work with some of the original elements of an old home.

The view from the master bedroom into the bay sunroom area beyond. Before we renovated the bay was so cold the clients kept it sealed off with heavy drapes. Now they can enjoy the expansive view year round.

Another view of this beautiful cupola we were lucky enough to work on. Here you can see the underside with exposed framing for the very cap of the cupola. All of this framing is structural not just decorative.

Two pairs of windows open between the bathroom and the cupola. This allows light into the main 2nd floor bathroom which also holds a laundry room to service the bedrooms on this floor.

The main 2nd floor hall bathroom and laundry area is full of light thanks to a modern skylight and the reeded glass windows that open onto the Victorian cupola.
