The client, a young bachelor, with a passion to traveling dreamed about a contemporary yet cozy apartment which is not overloaded with unnecessary decor elements and with minimum indoor plants he couldn't take care for during his lengthy absences. The apartment was minimally rearranged, additional study room was organized, also a laundry & utility closet found it's place, bathroom and toilet went separate to give more comfort and fulfill client's wish.

Treetops is a Shingle Style house built in the 1900’s on a 37-acre site overlooking Aponnnagansett Harbor. NCA doubled the residential project’s size and retained a period look. Additional living spaces include four bedrooms, three bathrooms, kitchen, breakfast room, sunroom, and study. A massing design solution balances the house off the main existing octagonal entry bay with a new octagonal tower.

Custom built for a loyal customer of ours (and UCLA alumni), this bathroom addition now allows for aging-in-place. Eliminating a tiny bathroom inside one of the bedrooms and re-creating it in an unused Study, they were able to gain much more space and include a curbless shower for smooth entry. Design was kept classic and simple – with a punch of color!

This renovation project updates an existing New York 1920s apartment with a modern sensibility. Replacing the cellular pre-war layout of the central spaces with a built-in walnut credenza and white lacquer side board effectively opens the plan to create a unified and spacious living area. The back side of the full-height dining room side-board screens views from the entrance foyer. The modern design of the new built-ins at center of the space is balanced by perimeter radiator covers and a full-height bookshelf which work with the period trim detail. The dining room features a folding translucent glass partition that provides separation from the kitchen, or can be completely stowed away to create an open kitchen that connects with the rest of the space. The new kitchen has been relocated to open directly onto the dining room, and features a long, solid mahogany island serving counter. An operable white lacquer and translucent glass partition pulls out from behind a concealed panel to separate the two rooms, providing flexibility for both casual and formal arrangements. The relocation of the kitchen allows for the addition of a small private study, and a powder room, both absent from the original layout. Photography: Mikiko Kikuyama

Further along, the great room includes a cathedral ceiling, porch access and wall of windows to view outdoor scenery.

This creates a dynamic, interactive dwelling that can be laid out in multiple configurations. There are a variety of options for privacy and the possibilities range from a completely open floor plan to three separate enclosed bedrooms. For example, the first floor study can become a private master suite with a bathroom, and the sitting room on the second floor could be transformed into an additional bedroom.

Master bedroom in the new 3rd-floor addition offers a spectacular view of the city from the custom window seat (with storage!). How do you squeeze a soaker tub, steam shower, walk-in closet, large master bedroom, and a private study into the renovation of a 2-story East Danforth semi? By going UP! For this project, the homeowner had a firm budget and didn't dream it could include a new kitchen as well as the 3rd-floor addition. With some creative solutions and our experience remodeling older homes, Carter Fox delivered an open-concept light-filled home that preserved several original elements in order to save budget for the must-have items - AND a new, customized kitchen.

Significant Additions to a Georgian Revival House: The original house was constructed by a sea captain and many of the details are a nod to nautical details fabricated by shipwrights. The new owners wanted to improve the internal circulation and interior proportions of the house. The front entry and family room addition respond to near and distance views of the surrounding landscape and the historic Hobart Gap. The side French doors open onto a private garden and serpentine wall referencing the historical gardens of the Lawn at University of Virginia, where the owner attend.
