This project required the significant alteration of the top floor of a nineteenth century loft building in lower Manhattan. An existing wood frame roof was removed and a two story 7,200 SF addition was added. The major volume, a two-story living/dining space behind the existing marble facade, connects the two levels spatially. The organization of the plan attempts to recreate some of the hierarchies of private and public domestic space associated with the better prewar residential buildings in Manhattan. The detailing – the extensive use of paneling, for example – is reminiscent of the work of architects such as Jean Michel Frank, Adolf Loos, and Bruno Paul.

Our attempt at a North Shore Boston Victorian-era Dining Room. Although we do not entertain a lot, the room is very visible and was worth a complete overhaul from 1990s-era decor. We were propelled by a burst cast-iron pipe in the winter of 2021! The project is almost done now, just waiting for a 19th century sofa to be added (after its much-needed re-upholstery). Will update in early April with better photos.

In an attempt to diminish irrigation and maintenance cost we greatly reduced the lawn and added drought tolerant plants that would be easy for the homeowner to maintain. By placing plants in a pseudo-agricultural rows we were able to give the landscape a contemporary feel without working against the more traditional lines of the home. Bright colors, interesting textures and seasonal changes keep the landscape from becoming stale. A new gathering space complete with bistro lights in the existing pine were incorporated to accommodate both large and intimate affairs. Through creative and cost effective measures this property now offers a contemporary setting without conflicting with the homes original design.

This customer approached us with their ideas for a pavilion and breezeway; however, they were attempting to work within a strict budget and timeline. As promised, we wound up completing the work a week in advance and only surpassed the agreed-upon budget by $200 (due to additional orders desired by the customer). The team for this project consisted of a group of sub-contractors, building officials, vendors, city permit departments, and the neighborhood HOA board, all of which seamlessly worked together to create a successful end-result. From the beginning, we worked hard to create a clear vision for the work that needed to be done, but we were actually able to make several positive design adaptations as the customer's needs evolved during the project.

This house is one of 34 post WWII Mid Century Modern homes build in a development in Princeton. This house includes an addition of what used to be a dance studio and master bedroom suite, designed by Michael Graves in the late 1970's. Also at that time the original kitchen was replaced by Graves with white plastic laminate faced cabinets. Over the years, this kitchen started delaminating, which inspired the current owner to renovate the kitchen. The owner has a collection of Biedermeier furniture and decided to use birdseye maple and cherry stained cabinets for the new kitchen in an attempt to tie the house together.

The Ossido line stems from a wager against time, in an attempt to crystallise a material at a specific point in its life and have it stay that way forever. Specifically, it entails the reproduction of a oxidation process on slabs of copper and metal, which generates a very strong and rich colour, yet which inevitably disappears as the oxidation process progresses.

Inspired by the movie Chimpanzee, the artwork is a humble attempt to bring focus on the beauty and the vulnerability on this animal.

Vorrath Woodworks completely refurbished these Swedish made mid century modern swivel base club chairs. The new East Indian rosewood veneers are even more stunning than the original. Someone attempted a refinish job on the original wood using an orbital sander and left the backs destroyed. We purchased new veneer to bring these beauties back to their original glory. All new foam and fabric round out the restoration job.

As you can tell from the before pictures, this client was attempting to organize their growing family as best they could using this laundry room and surrounding areas for many purposes. For every problem, John Rogers Renovations designed a beautiful solution!

This silk area rug had suffered heavy staining in one section approximately 5 inches in diameter. After several failed attempts by the client to remove the stain with grocery cleaning agents, the client gave us a call. The area rug was an expensive purchase and the client's were clearly distraught about what had happened to their rug. After working with our team of master area rug cleaning experts, we were successful in removing the stain. Take a look at the before and after photos.

This project focused on fixing an unfinished ceiling in a second bathroom that was originally a patio conversion. The client attempted to paint it, but oil from the ceiling spread, damaging the walls. To resolve this, I installed affordable planks, added crown molding, repaired the damage, repainted, and upgraded the lighting—giving the space a polished and complete look.

At the end of 2012, Danberry came across what was then a rundown home in the Casco Point neighborhood of Orono, in desperate need of some design help. A failed attempt by the previous owner to remodel it as an investment had left it abandoned for years. But when the Danberry’s got a glimpse of this diamond in the rough, they knew it had potential. The project included a completely remodeled kitchen, bathroom, basement and living room.

Under the gorgeous granite top we have added matching storage cabinets with furniture base but opted for beadboard on the sides instead of more panels in an attempt to keep the space more casual for this waterfront home.

The owner of this Devil’s Glen Ski Resort chalet was determined to honour the original structure built by his father. At the same time, a growing family created the need for an amplified space. The design for the enlarged chalet attempts to incorporate proportions and angles from the original craftsman styled structure while simultaneously taking cues from the challenging mountain site. Stonework and timber beams create a framework for expansive glazing that affords sweeping views to the mountain, snow and sky. As a result, a new generation of skiers is engaged with the mountain and it’s community in the same way the owner’s father provided him.

After initially attempting to go it alone, Charmaine hired IKD to lay out her IKEA kitchen. “It was difficult for me to envision how our kitchen would look using the IKEA Kitchen Planner. It just looked like boxes to me. I wanted to have a full kitchen rendering and that was why we chose IKD. We wanted to see how our kitchen would look and [see] other ways we can configure our cabinet sizes,” she says. She continues: “The price was so affordable and IKD really moved quickly with our design to meet the kitchen sales deadline.
