Up on the 3rd floor of a townhouse the master bath was too closed in. The closet was too small. The room couldn't take advantage of the lift from the huge skylight. We remedied all of these situations and the homeowner was able to accomplish it (almost) all himself at a substantial savings and with the knowledge that he could always get professional help if he needed it.

In this remodel, we accomplished a seamless look, incorporating newer materials with the old to maintain the home's classic appearance. Grand Homes used two different colors of granite countertops in the kitchen, and a combination of stained cherry cabinets and painted glazed cabinets. The open kitchen with its large island and a seating area offers a space where the family can congregate while meals are prepared. Large decorative windows in the living room let lots of natural light in and the addition of LED under cabinet lighting illuminates the room substantially and offsets the dark color of the built-in cabinets.

We are delighted to unveil our latest accomplishment: adding a brand-new, beautifully designed full bathroom to a once single-bathroom home. This impressive transformation elevates the property to a more functional and comfortable two-bathroom residence, catering to the evolving needs of the occupants. Our highly skilled team meticulously crafted this exquisite bathroom from top to bottom, ensuring that every detail met the highest standards. The project involved creating a new space within the home where none existed before, turning a previously unused area into an elegant sanctuary of relaxation and rejuvenation. Now featuring premium quality fixtures, tiling, and expert craftsmanship, this meticulously designed bathroom seamlessly blends both form and function. The new addition not only enhances the daily lives of the homeowners but also adds substantial value and appeal to the property.

Starting its life as a dark, walled in space with inadequate cabinetry and multiple awkward components, I knew the only way forward with this penthouse kitchen, was for it to undergo a complete rebuild. The clients were hoping to welcome a child in the years following this renovation, however they love to entertain so also wanted a modern and sophisticated kitchen. Therefore, the task became marrying functional indestructibility with clean, elevated design, resulting in a timeless, architecturally forward kitchen with sensible storage and innovated finishes. The first and most important task when addressing the modernization of this kitchen, was to remove the existing walls that closed off the space. Accomplishing this allowed for a more free-flowing feel and opened the sightline to the rest of the unit. This also invited the opportunity for a new, more welcoming floor plan including the addition of a large island with ample counter space and optional eat-in functionality. In order to maximize functional efficiency and overall aesthetic value, I knew the plumbing required substantial relocation. However, with concrete ceilings and floors, combined with a strata unwilling to allow trenching of the slab, moving the plumbing to the most effective location was no easy feat. Ultimately, I was able to accomplish this by creating a hidden channel inside the cabinetry that allowed the plumbing to be redirected to the ideal location without visible detection. Creatively, I was inspired by the idea of injecting dimension, by way of juxtaposing materials that wouldn’t necessarily be found together in nature, yet worked harmonious when combined. You’ll notice the cabinet fronts are all made of solid Dekton – a manmade stone that while costly, is nearly indestructible. This created the base in which we inset the countertop, backsplash and surround, all made in a wood-like material. As if a huge ice-cream scoop glided into a slab of solid stone, uncovering beautiful layered depths of wood. I worked with a local company to custom manufacture this is a high impact, one-of-a-kind laminate specifically for this project. It’s nonporous, fingerprint resistant and antimicrobial. It offers a matte finish which has a beautiful hand-feel resembling real wood but because it’s manmade, it’s not subjected to the same expansion and contraction of natural wood, making it an exceptional choice for this application. Final details also include a touchless kitchen faucet, integrated appliances, hidden storage, Italian lighting, delicate Australian hardware and smart switches and plugs.

These homeowners came to us through a recommendation from a client who was extremely happy with the work we did for them in the past. This project was in the inner city and the homeowners tore down their old house and built their new home in its place. Keeping with the charm of the original home, the main goal for the home was to make it look like a brand new 100 year old home. We were brought on to work on the entire home with the exception of the kitchen (entry, family room, ceiling work, office/ den, living room, fireplace, window trims, 5 bedrooms, and 4 bathrooms). In addition to our custom woodworking, these homeowners leaned heavily on our design suggestions. From an execution standpoint, this home was extremely detailed, and getting the balance from room to room and throughout the entire home was crucial for achieving the correct look. In addition, the methods and materials used 100 years ago have since had drastic improvements, making the lifetime and quality of the finished product substantially better, but also adding a higher degree of difficulty to accomplish accurate looking details. The end result of this project was a work of art. A home that thad the appearance of a 100 year old home, with modern materials and methods to ensure quality and longevity. Everything from their dramatic entry and staircase to their floor-to-ceiling hand-finished den showcases a skill set and eye for detail essential to accomplishing the lofty goals of this home.
