- [Tudor Mansion, Merion Station, PA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tudor-mansion-merion-station-pa-pj-vj~5550246)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 10
  - Description: Maximizing openness and natural light were the goals in renovating the casual kitchen and family room spaces of this Main Line home to blend with the unique 1920s detailing. The kitchen was modernized with new cabinetry and appliances, and a narrow service stair was replaced with a grander, open switchback stair with a landing. The entire second floor above the adjacent family room was removed to create a cathedral ceiling with custom trim and millwork, large skylights and stained-glass windows.…
- [Modern Penthouse, Center City, PA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-penthouse-center-city-pa-pj-vj~5550287)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 8
  - Description: Philadelphia’s Western Union Building is an architectural gem that had been converted to condominiums in 2008. A repeat client engaged CWA to renovate one of the buildings’ large penthouses into an open-plan residence, taking full advantage of the terraces on three sides. The result is a thoroughly modern kitchen / dining / living space awash in sunlight throughout the day, with elegant custom kitchen woodwork and LED fixtures, walnut floors and two gas fireplaces. A staircase with brushed stain…
- [Historic Townhouse, Society Hill, PA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/historic-townhouse-society-hill-pa-pj-vj~610732)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 14
  - Description: Although the exterior is modest and unadorned, this historic 1850s home has strong interior features that CWA added to suit contemporary living. The lower level kitchen and dining areas were completely refurbished with a new layout that opens up the space and connects the rooms with a delicately lit passageway of custom wood doors and trim. Hot water radiant floor heat under limestone tiles warms the rooms. On the upper floors painted wainscoting, crown molding, an entertainment cabinet and maho…
- [Seaside House on Fisher's Island, Long Island Sound, NY](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/seaside-house-on-fisher-s-island-long-island-sound-ny-pj-vj~60396)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 5
  - Description: At the eastern tip of Long Island, so far east that it is more rightly claimed by Connecticut than New York, sits the nine-mile span of Fishers Island. Among the small docks, shingle-clad homes and working fishing boats, CWA designed a modern vacation home that looks as if it has always been there. With a front porch the length of the house and an upper deck on the second level, the ocean can be viewed from both the north and the south of the tiny island. A large, open first floor room brings th…

  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 8
  - Description: Hurricane Andrew fortuitously cleared the site for this new home in the Blue Ridge Mountain valley. Starting with a traditional timber-frame structure, CWA designed a generous wrap-around porch to take advantage of stunning views for clients who embrace an outdoor lifestyle. The timber-frame system allows for high insulation values in exterior walls and natural warming of second-floor bedrooms. Soaring interior spaces with exposed beams and brick fireplace enhance entertaining and relaxing, whil…

  - Location: Fishers Island, NY

  - Description: Everything about this project, now over 25 years ago was great. Fabulous site with water views in both directions, on the quiet and wild end of the Island. Great clients with multigenerational program, very talented contractor, and back when things were not crazy expensive. Most important was the chance to work on the design with my sister, Mimi, of Converse, Winkler Architects. Collaboration with Converse.
