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!

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.

The Magnolia creates an airy feel with flow between the kitchen, family room, and dining room. In addition to the Magnolia’s three bedrooms, this home features a large flex room that can be used as desired plus a study. The master suite includes his and hers walk-in closets, a soaking tub, dual vanities. Tour the fully furnished model at our Katy Design Center.

This ambitious remodel touched all interiors and exteriors of this 1925 Tudor, including significant work on the shell to increase home comfort and performance. Hammer & Hand replaced most exterior widows—save for a handful of the original leaded glass panes—and built a kitchen addition matching the distinct swoops of the existing roof. Inside, French doors were removed and entryways enlarged to brighten the space and create longer sight-lines throughout the living areas. In addition to all new interior finishes, H&H also added a fully finished basement with living area, study, spare bedroom, bathroom, and a mini climate-controlled wine cellar tucked into an unobtrusive corner.

The ranch-style home required significant modifications to make room for two generations of adults living in one household. The second story addition was added containing a master bedroom suite, craft room, study, laundry and bathroom. Furthermore, the existing first floor was redesigned and renovated with the focus on creating a “no-step” main level for an aging parent with mobility concerns. A new great room was constructed which affords the homeowners a comfortable place to relax or entertain larger family gatherings. Careful consideration was given to the design of the exterior of the home as well. It was important that the second floor addition blend with the original home creating a unified façade.

With porches on every side, the “Georgetown” is designed for enjoying the natural surroundings. The main level of the home is characterized by wide open spaces, with connected kitchen, dining, and living areas, all leading onto the various outdoor patios. The main floor master bedroom occupies one entire wing of the home, along with an additional bedroom suite. The upper level features two bedroom suites and a bunk room, with space over the detached garage providing a private guest suite.

This is a gorgeous new two story custom home with a master suite, a mini master suite, 2 additional bedrooms, a gameroom, study, and wine lounge!

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.

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.

This was a tiny nursery with a low, flat ceiling. The height of the ceiling was at the top of the closet shown. I opened the closed in cavity of the tiny closet into an expanded desk/study area, vaulted the ceiling, added the mahogany beams, opened a hallway to an added bathroom. Also added two closets in the hall and opened an area for an armoire for additional storage.
