We are thrilled to introduce 612 Gravers Lane, a veritable ~jewelbox~ in an ideal walk-to everything Wyndmoor location. Originally built in 1900, this classic 20th century farmhouse was comprehensively renovated and expanded by Cherokee Construction in 1997, in the finest fashion, sparing no expense. Beautifully sited on a manageable .31 acres, the exquisite landscape plan was designed and installed by Gale Nurseries. The first floor features a brightly lit, gracious floor plan with coveted architectural details, millwork and voluminous ceilings. Enter a gracious center hall, formal living room and dining room to your left, cozy library your right. Gourmet kitchen and generous breakfast room with fireplace and butlers pantry. The adjacent family room and mudroom complete the scene. Upstairs, in addition to a spacious, light-filled master suite, two additional en suite bedrooms and laundry. The third floor offers an amazing guest suite, bath with sitting area and plenty of space for home office. Finished lower level, just waiting for gym and media room and an abundance of storage. 4 bedrooms/3.1 baths - Detached 2 car garage. Outside, beautifully designed trellises adorn a large flagstone terrace that will simply knock you out, creating an extremely private setting within walking distance to both Wyndmoor and Chestnut Hill villages and trains to Center City.

Set within a wooded landscape, the Millwick Pool House and Guest House expand upon the original courtyard residence with a series of carefully scaled accessory structures. A new pool and pavilion extend daily life outdoors, strengthening the dialogue between architecture and trees. Nearby, the guest house introduces a pop-up dormer and clerestory windows that bring generous light into a compact footprint, creating a lofted retreat that feels both intimate and expansive. Together, the additions deepen the home’s connection to its forested setting while reinforcing the clarity and sculptural character of the original design.

Our team reimagined our client's living space, introducing a custom fireplace with a very modern floating quartz hearth and reclaimed wood beams for the mantle and additional shelving. The custom wall-mounted media cabinet is a combination of beautiful quarter sawn White Oak and Blackened Steel. The feature wall was fabricated on-site from reclaimed pallet wood. Tailored furniture pieces echo the modern, hard lines of the fireplace and media wall. Incorporating pattern, soft textures, and organic wood elements help to keep the space feeling warm and inviting

Our customer in Jamison, PA used our Rug-Search (tm) service to find a living room rug to complement their new sofa and window treatments. They selected a hand-knotted wool and silk oriental rug for its elegant but non-traditional look. Their room is small and offered them some challenges in its furnishing due to architectural asymmetries. The 8x10 rug they chose, with its light background and asymmetrical floral patterning, expands the space, and does not introduce additional misaligned axes that would make the room look and feel busy.

With a vision to blend functionality and aesthetics seamlessly, our design experts embarked on a journey that breathed new life into every corner.
Our design plan was inspired by the large arched opening to the dining room right off the kitchen. This theme is artfully replicated throughout the space, complemented by rustic wooden floors and creamy walls and cabinets, evoking a gentle European countryside ambience. Introducing new arched doorways enhanced both traffic flow and visual intrigue, especially when framing the new range. Additional embellishments included wooden headers on the range hood and kitchen window, further enhancing the overall aesthetic.

Removing the long, narrow center island immediately opened up the kitchen, creating a greater sense of space. Closing off an unnecessary doorway provided additional wall area, allowing the cooktop to be repositioned and improving the kitchen’s layout and flow.
The bold choice of a rich green for the cabinets gave the kitchen a striking, modern look, while still feeling balanced. The green acts as a neutral tone, complemented by calming pale oak flooring, neutral quartz countertops, and a textured backsplash in a similar hue for subtle visual interest.
The redesign also introduced functional zones: a dedicated baking area designed with their daughter in mind and a bar area perfect for entertaining family and friends.

In this farmhouse-style home remodeling project, the homeowners aimed to achieve a cohesive and inviting aesthetic throughout their kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, and closets. The kitchen underwent a complete transformation with the removal of existing cabinets, appliances, and walls, providing a clean slate for the renovation. The new kitchen features bright cabinets, a kitchen island, and a peninsula, offering functional workspace and a stylish focal point. The addition of floating shelves and an updated dining room further enhanced the farmhouse charm. The strategic removal of walls and the incorporation of mirrors created an illusion of spaciousness, making the room feel larger and more open. To enhance organization, storage solutions were introduced, including the addition of a small mudroom space, providing ample room for belongings upon entering the home. The bathrooms were revitalized from dark and uninviting spaces to relaxing and functional retreats. Clean tile choices and updated showers contribute to the farmhouse aesthetic, while offering a fresh and modern feel. The bedrooms and hallways received a fresh coat of paint, adding the finishing touch to the overall remodeling job. The newly updated spaces now exude farmhouse style throughout, creating an inviting and cohesive atmosphere that reflects the homeowners' vision.

Located in Palo Alto's flood zone, this Eichler home underwent a phased renovation thoughtfully redesigned to accommodate a growing family of five, with an emphasis on school proximity and nearby grandparents. The bedroom wing was completely reconfigured, including a new front addition as a guest suite for grandparents, expanding the house to five bedrooms and three baths. Taller 9-foot ceilings were introduced in some areas, enhancing the overall openness—a lofty goal for an Eichler.
The tranquil courtyard, a favorite spot for the family, was redesigned to allow parents to watch the kids while cooking. The backyard became a relaxing lounging area connected to the living room. Once dark living spaces were modernized by removing a low-hanging beam in the kitchen, adding skylights for natural light, and eliminating the fireplace to create a more functional entertainment space. Finally, new landscaping reflecting the client's heritage and some of the home's architectural elements, creates a harmonious indoor-outdoor flow.

The Challenge
As the most intimate room in most people’s homes, this bedroom begged for a makeover to transform it from an everyday room into a relaxing retreat.
The Solution
By combining functional pieces peppered with intricate detail and with one-of-a-kind artwork, this room became and area of escape. The addition of a handcrafted hanging chair created an intimate space to reflect back on the day and peer out into the lush, green backyard.

This project involved the removal of an aging wood shower enclosure and surrounding fencing, which had begun to deteriorate and contribute to poor drainage conditions. The existing area retained moisture, creating a muddy, unstable surface that impacted both usability and long-term durability.
The redesigned space introduces a fully upgraded outdoor shower system positioned discreetly behind a new white privacy enclosure. The structure was selected for its clean architectural lines, low-maintenance material, and ability to brighten and modernize the space while maintaining privacy.
A primary focus of the project was drainage correction. The ground plane was regraded and rebuilt using a permeable system consisting of oversized stone slabs set within polished black river rock. This layout allows water to move efficiently through the surface while maintaining a stable, clean, and visually refined finish. The contrast between the large-format slabs and the dark stone creates a structured, intentional foundation that elevates the overall design.
Planting was incorporated with both aesthetic and functional intent. Lavender was installed and trained along the enclosure to soften the structure and introduce seasonal fragrance. In addition to its visual contribution, it serves as a natural pest deterrent, helping to reduce mosquito activity and improve comfort within the space. Supporting plant material was kept minimal and scaled appropriately to maintain a clean, uncluttered environment.
The result is a fully integrated outdoor feature that transforms a previously underperforming area into a functional, durable, and visually cohesive extension of the home. The space now supports consistent use while delivering a refined, spa-like experience aligned with the surrounding landscape.

With a modest patio between the home and the pool, the homeowners longed for better entertaining spaces and more connection between their interior, exterior, pool, and second floor. Copper Sky Design + Remodel began this renovation with the removal of a weathered pergola and creating a large opening from their living room to the patio for new sleek accordion steel doors that seamlessly merge the indoor and outdoor spaces.
To further elevate the outdoor space, the adjacent patio was covered, and retractable screens and vinyl panels were installed. These features provide flexibility to enjoy the outdoors without the inconvenience of summertime insects, pollen, and unpredictable weather. The ceiling of the newly covered porch was custom designed to discreetly house the electrical components for the motorized screens, maintaining a clean and uncluttered appearance.
A spiral staircase was introduced, leading to a second-story deck that spans the width of the home. This addition provides easy access to the outdoors directly from the bedrooms, offering a serene spot for enjoying the stunning views of the backyard. The deck features cable railing, which preserves the unobstructed view, and is adorned with elegant copper post caps. For added privacy, louvered wooden screens were installed at one end of the deck.
Given the homeowners' joy for entertaining, this design included the installation of outdoor speakers and color-changing LED lights on the porch ceiling and upper deck railings. The LED lights allow for a customizable ambiance, enabling the homeowners to set the perfect mood for any occasion. Additionally, gas lanterns were added to the porch beams, casting a romantic glow over the pool area, and enhancing the atmosphere for evening gatherings.
