Details include a chef-style sink, quartz counters, motorized assist for heavy drawers and various cabinetry organizers. Jewelry-like artisan pulls are repeated throughout to bring it all together.

The owners of The Applewood Manor, a boutique bed and breakfast in Montford, reached out to The Hands of Sean Perry Co. in 2023 for another renovation project — this time, for their cozy Cortland Cottage space.
The team quickly got to work transforming the historic room to include all the comforts of a modern, boutique hotel-like experience, while still honoring all Historic Resources Commission guidelines. In the bath, they installed spa-quality heated flooring, a new Grohe faucet, and vibrant blue tile from Mediterranean Tile. Throughout the room, the crew laid new French Oak engineered hardwood flooring and added fresh, locally sourced wooden windowsills from Green River Woods for a more rustic feel.
With help from the owner and operator, who is an interior designer, the crew added pops of color throughout the room — painting the door a bold shade of red and hanging colorful modern artwork with a decidedly canine theme, honoring the owners’ beloved French bulldogs: Cleopatra, Pearl and Ziggy Stardust.

Situated on a gently sloping site in the heart of the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant, the El Camino del Norte Residence takes cues from the structural clarity and purposeful simplicity of California's mid-century modern architecture. Clean lines and generous overhangs frame views of the landscape while allowing the site's natural topography to shape the sequence of spaces and the home to perform naturally with Southern California's light and climate. The design reflects the client's active engagement with the outdoors, where inside and outside are in constant conversation.
Design Challenges
Rancho Santa Fe Art Jury approval - Material and massing refinements that honored covenant guidelines
Grade change - Strategic site planning that engages the sloping topography as an integral part of the design rather than a constraint to overcome.
Rancho Santa Fe Fire safety compliance - Material selection and site planning that absorbed code requirements into the architecture

This project won in the 2013 Builders Association of Metropolitan Pittsburgh Housing Excellence Award for Best Urban Renewal Renovation Project. The glass bowl was made in the glass studio owned by the owner which is adjacent to the residence. The mirror is a repurposed window. The door is repurposed from a boarding house.

Steeped in history, this Historic Forest Park Carriage House underwent a transformative
renovation to accommodate the evolving needs of its owners. Tasked with creating a vibrant
ground floor space for a bike and training studio, our challenge lay in balancing preservation
requirements with modern functionality.
Preservation guidelines dictated that exterior details remain intact, posing a unique set of
challenges as we sought to rejuvenate the structure. Crumbling stone pilasters and
deteriorating windows and doors demanded meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship.
Structural adjustments were made to support the load of the second-floor apartment, while
new plumbing, electrical, and insulation were seamlessly integrated to enhance comfort and
efficiency.
The interior design embraced an industrial aesthetic, with exposed ceiling frames and polished
concrete floors, lending a sense of character and authenticity to the space. Custom solutions,
such as a tile pedestal for the utility sink and a double wall for bicycle storage, were
implemented to maximize accessibility and durability. Replacement windows and doors,
meticulously crafted to match historic details, preserved the integrity of the structure while
enhancing functionality.
Despite the challenges posed by preservation requirements, the Historic Forest Park Carriage
House stands as a testament to the seamless integration of heritage preservation and modern
design. Through careful planning and execution, we were able to breathe new life into this
historic gem, creating a space that honors its past while embracing the needs of the present.

This dark, claustrophobic kitchen was transformed into an open, vibrant space where the homeowner could showcase her original artwork while enjoying a fluid and well-designed space. Custom cabinetry materials include gray-washed white oak to compliment the new flooring, along with white gloss uppers and tall, bright blue cabinets. Details include a chef-style sink, quartz counters, motorized assist for heavy drawers and various cabinetry organizers. Jewelry-like artisan pulls are repeated throughout to bring it all together. The leather cabinet finish on the wet bar and display area is one of our favorite custom details. The coat closet was ‘concealed' by installing concealed hinges, touch-latch hardware, and painting it the color of the walls. Next to it, at the stair ledge, a recessed cubby was installed to utilize the otherwise unused space and create extra kitchen storage.
The condo association had very strict guidelines stating no work could be done outside the hours of 9am-4:30pm, and no work on weekends or holidays. The elevator was required to be fully padded before transporting materials, and floor coverings needed to be placed in the hallways every morning and removed every afternoon. The condo association needed to be notified at least 5 days in advance if there was going to be loud noises due to construction. Work trucks were not allowed in the parking structure, and the city issued only two parking permits for on-street parking. These guidelines required detailed planning and execution in order to complete the project on schedule. Kraft took on all these challenges with ease and respect, completing the project complaint-free!
