Full gut renovation and facade restoration of an historic 1850s wood-frame townhouse. The current owners found the building as a decaying, vacant SRO (single room occupancy) dwelling with approximately 9 rooming units. The building has been converted to a two-family house with an owner’s triplex over a garden-level rental. Due to the fact that the very little of the existing structure was serviceable and the change of occupancy necessitated major layout changes, nC2 was able to propose an especially creative and unconventional design for the triplex. This design centers around a continuous 2-run stair which connects the main living space on the parlor level to a family room on the second floor and, finally, to a studio space on the third, thus linking all of the public and semi-public spaces with a single architectural element. This scheme is further enhanced through the use of a wood-slat screen wall which functions as a guardrail for the stair as well as a light-filtering element tying all of the floors together, as well its culmination in a 5’ x 25’ skylight.

Clients who enlisted my services two years ago found a home they loved, but wanted to make sure that the newly acquired furniture would fit the space. They called on K Two Designs to work in the existing furniture as well as add new pieces. The whole house was given a fresh coat of white paint, and draperies and rugs were added to warm and soften the spaces.

This cozy living room got a refresh with a crisp white paint on the exposed brick and colorful furnishings.

This Heights bungalow room found new purpose as a favorite spot to read, thanks to a cohesive theme of blue and white and a comfortable ottoman to prop the feet. The ottoman was remade from one that had been in part of a previous design, and was updated to be more tailored. The whole room was inspired by the painting and the blue and white objects scattered around the home, which were assembled on the bookshelf to make a statement. The chandelier added bling and nods to the dining room across the hall.
