In this kitchen remodel, the space underwent a significant transformation to achieve a modern and inviting atmosphere. The old wood cabinets were replaced with stunning new cabinets in a contemporary wood tone, instantly refreshing the kitchen's aesthetic. To brighten and open the space, the countertops were updated to white quartz. The addition of a beverage fridge and floating shelves provided a practical entertaining area, enhancing functionality and style. Extra cabinetry was introduced to optimize storage, ensuring a clutter-free and organized space. The finishing touches, including a new sink, faucet, and cabinet hardware, added a polished look to the kitchen, resulting in a complete and cohesive renovation that seamlessly combines modernity with functionality.

The current home for this family was not large enough for their needs. We extended the master bedroom to create an additional walk-in closet and added a master bathroom to allow the parents to have their own retreat. We mixed the couple’s styles by introducing hints of mid-century modern and transitional elements throughout the home. A neutral palette and clean lines are found throughout the home with splashes of color. We also focused on the functionality of the home by removing some of the walls that did not allow the home to flow, keeping it open for conversation in the main living areas.

Clean lines and a layered floating design give this contemporary bathroom vanity a distinctly custom look. A streamlined wall-mounted vanity stretches beneath an expansive mirror, while a warm wood floating cabinet below provides additional storage and introduces natural texture. A slim linear light fixture echoes the horizontal proportions of the vanity, creating a simple, architectural composition. Minimalist fixtures and a neutral palette complete the understated modern design.

Carol selected the REBEL kitchen design as the foundation for her kitchen renovation. She kept the T-bar handles. To maintain the minimalist style that Carol desired, we replaced the countertop with a light grey quartz from Silestone. Additionally, we introduced a walnut-veneered kitchen island to infuse warm tones into this minimalist aesthetic. ‍ The kitchen is priced at $14,263. (This price includes all doors, frames, plinths, mechanisms, and shipment.)

This one and one-half story, in-town, simplified Gothic Revival on Martha’s Vineyard has had a handful of alterations over the years. The latest is the addition of a new shed dormer which we designed to join an existing shed dormer, forming an ell. The result increased headroom, daylight, and ventilation, greatly improving a bedroom, while creating space for a new full bath and additional closets. The new dormer is nested in the primary roof and fitted with casement windows to match the existing dormer, as if they were built concurrently. While we were at it, we introduced a new, fresh color palette upstairs and off the first floor main entry hall to highlight the Island locale and to play off the porcelain ceramic and beach glass tile that we chose for the new bath photo by Katie Hutchison

View from the family room into the dining area and kitchen. An existing mid-century ranch was given a new lease on life with a whole house remodel and addition. An existing sunken living room had the floor raised and the front entry was relocated to make room for a complete master suite. The roof/ceiling over the entry and stair was raised with multiple clerestory lights introducing light into the center of the home. Finally, a compartmentalized existing layout was converted to an open plan with the kitchen/dining/living areas sharing a common area at the back of the home.

This addition and extensive interior renovation optimizes front and rear river views, natural light and indoor / outdoor integration. The use of craftsman detailing – adding a front porch – makes this home naturally inviting, functional and extremely livable. The design was challenged due to the waterfront lot restrictions, lot coverage restrictions (car port instead of garage), slope stability challenges and septic restrictions (only 15% of existing footprint was allowed). The rear eating area / sunroom addition was built on pillars to achieve septic clearances. The second storey addition utilized sloped ceilings, which finished at 10 ft. in order to create spacial volume. Open to below areas allow more sunlight in and help achieve square footage requirements. The carport helped meet lot coverage restrictions, but more importantly, helped lessen the environmental impact. Driveways and walkways feature natural stone for water runoff. The home exceeded the design objectives by maintaining formal entertaining, by eliminating walls and organizing spaces, creating comfortable family areas and by introducing natural light throughout the home. 2012 Finalist in the Canadian Home Builder’s SAM Awards for a Whole House Renovation $250,000-$500,000 2012 Ontario Home Builders Association Awards Finalist for Most Outstanding Home Renovation $100,000 – $500,000 2012 Greater Ottawa Home Builders Association Awards Finalist for Renovations/Additions $350,000 – $499,999

The renovation began with trimming back the roofline and removing a few existing windows. In their place, skylights were installed to introduce ample natural light into the space. To add visual interest and break up the walls, a combination of materials was used. A striated metal roof was incorporated into the design, providing a distinct and contemporary touch. Additionally, the existing white window frames were painted black to align with the newly installed black window frames, and a new roofline was extended to create a covered porch, ensuring a cohesive and modern aesthetic throughout the exterior.

A unique 1929 cottage on Newfound Lake was to be renovated. The building was located entirely within the 50’ setback and a corner of the building was on the neighboring lot. The seasonal building had significant rot and structural issues. Working with the Town and the State, it was agreed that the footprint of the building was grandfathered in the setback. The building footprint was moved to meet the sideline setback and allowed a fully compliant addition to the building. Despite its dilapidated condition, there were many endearing qualities that the family loved. It was decided to design a new year round, high performance three bedroom cottage with a detached garage using the original camp for inspiration but introducing many new 21st century conveniences. The original living room and dining room were replicated along with the two steps down from the original dining area and kitchen. The addition involved a new master bedroom suite, an entry and pantry on the main level and a new upper level with a bedroom/office. Many features of the original building were recycled including interior doors, windows, shutters and antique sinks. Reclaimed 200 year old mill timbers were used for the exposed joists and roof rafters throughout.

paul zimmerman photo... note how I was able to incorporate the glass tile matrix into the window frame and even the glass block wall. Introducing the "brick pattern" into the glass block reflects the pattern that we used on the walls and floor. In addition, gluing the glass block together with JUST clear silicone gives us such a nice look compared to the bulk of mortar. Well worth the effort! I was so happy the home owner allowed me to create this unique look for their master retreat!
