**★★★★★ — Mastodon Moving, April 2017**

> I have been working with David and his team for the past 2 years and he is truly a visionary.  Our clients have been blown away with his customer care and his attention to detail.  Our clients boasted about how he seemed to think of everything!  His ability to work with funky houses or odd layouts has been a specialty of his and it really shows in his profile of before and after!  I would highly recommend David and his team!

**★★★★★ — rashes, May 2014**

> For the past decade David Boronkay has designed and supervised every remodeling/renovation project I have embarked on.  We have worked on projects in my homes in Massachusetts and Florida.  These projects have ranged from one-off design consultations, to bathroom renovations, and major additions.  David has been our go-to for everything related to design and architecture.
>
> Slocum Hall Design Group is currently designing and managing a large renovation and addition project on our newly acquired historic property in the Boston suburbs.  The process of working with them has been effortless.  Everyone from the contractor we are working with, to the lawyer who is managing permitting, and the interior designers have commented on what a pleasure it is to work with the Slocum Hall team.
>
> David’s design to enlarge and reconfigure this gracious historic home built in 1896 and make it function for a modern family of 6, without compromising its impeccably preserved historic integrity, illustrates his talent and sympathy for architecture of any vintage.
>
> In addition to the extraordinary conceptual skills around space and design that David brings to the table Leah is a true genius when it comes to system integration, planning, and project management, no detail is over looked.   I am pleased to say that our project is on time and run with great efficiency.

> I would highly recommend Slocum Hall Design Group because of their extraordinary design skills and unparalleled professionalism.

  - Description: When our clients retained us for this home renovation/addition project, they sought to update and enlarge their stunning English Manor style home, perched prominently on a hill. Now empty-nesters, they wanted the house to accommodate their needs as they age. The interior was gutted and the floor plan reconfigured creating a large, modern kitchen for entertaining and a multi-room owner’s suite. A new elevator was added as was an attached garage allowing our clients to remain in their home indefin…

  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 15
  - Description: Our clients found an abandoned post and beam structure that had been sitting unfinished for years. They wanted to upgrade the exterior and reconfigure the space, selecting new finishes and furnishings for the interior. The front elevation was clad in Board and Batten siding and cleft stone. A grid detail in the front-facing gable and new portico brought further interest to the substantial façade. The interior space was reimagined to function as a year-round vacation retreat with a strong emphasi…

The main floor has a large open kitchen, breakfast and family room with a coffered and v-groove ceiling, and a ledgestone fireplace. The living room boasts an expansive wall of bi-folding glass doors, bringing the natural landscape inside.

  - Description: When our longstanding clients acquired land adjacent to their current home (a home we helped renovate!), they retained us to design a guest house and sports barn. One was designed to accommodate a guest apartment, extra garage parking and a ‘lodge room’. The second structure, intended to look like a barn, houses a basketball court on the main floor and a turf space and locker rooms on the lower level. We referenced the main house for the exterior design, adding arched windows and barn-inspired t…

  - Description: Like many homes of its vintage, this beautiful Newton Center Victorian, sitting prominently on a corner lot, lacked the comforts and conveniences of a twenty-first century residence. We designed an addition to accommodate an enlarged Kitchen and Family Room on the main floor, an additional family Bedroom suite on the second floor, and finished above-ground space on the lower level.

  - Description: The owners of this property purchased the dilapidated 1950’s ranch with the intention of demolishing it and building a modern residence in its place. A yearlong demolition delay caused the owners to rethink their plan, and instead, looked to Slocum Hall to design an addition and reconfigure the existing home to meet their programmatic needs. The prominent two-car front-facing garage was converted into Living Space with 12’ ceilings. An addition towards the rear of the property housed a new Garag…

  - Description: The owners of this 1818 Federal Revival, located in Dedham’s historical district, needed additional space for their growing family. A unique solution presented itself when the neighboring home became available. Separated by a narrow driveway the neighboring home, built in the 1870’s, had a strong visual connection to the original; we combined them with a sympathetically designed connector that effectively unified the two homes. The main floor of the new home was converted to a contemporary kitch…

## Community Q&A

**Q: Wrong exterior choice? Advice please :(** *(in Home Disasters)*

Hi all! I am struggling with a few choices for our homes exterior.
a few years ago we changed out our front window making it larger. We were rushed into a decision and went with a color from the brick that was deeper and LESS yellow and im not super happy with my choice but have to live with it / make it work. After a traumatic interior reno i just needed time before coming back to the exterior.
A few notes:
-We face east and are fairly shaded most of the day
\- I only really have the budget for paint (front door, garage, parts of window and fascia / gutters (not grids - cant get at them) and then some sort of siding / trim solution that is more permanent than what we did to fill that space beneath the window.
\- im not wild about super modern or contemporary design for this house. Would love to lean into nature and go kind of cozy cottage / European countryside 
Looking for suggestions on:
1\. what color to paint our front door (i have a few samples on the front door now)? Garage door? Windows (minus grilles), fascia and gutters?
2\. ideas for how to use trim or siding etc. to make that mid part of the house around the window feel more resolved / have a bit of contrast? 
3\. General suggestions on how to improve the look of the house! Statement light for beside front door etc.
4\. suggestions for the future when have more budget or go to replace the grey roof, garage door, front door 
Thank you so much in advance for any help. i know its not an exciting house but we love living in it and id really love us to enjoy the exterior and feel proud of it.

A: I would go with a slate blue door.  Remember, your roof is light gray, and the color has to go with the beige brick, the cream trim and the gray roof. I'd recommend Benjamin Moore Van Deusen Blue or Newburyport Blue.  A saturated gray-blue would bring some life to the muted colors.  For under the window, install "shadow box" trim to make it look like its panelized.  2 panels will balance the 3 windows above.

**Q: Love the carpet, what brand and style?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Love this!
