For this Tudor style 1930's Kitchen Renovation, we removed a servant's chamber stairwell and butler's pantry in order to gain space more space for a bustling family. We also added a door and staircase to down to an outside patio creating a direct connection to the outdoors.

After retiring, the hustle and bustle of life subside into the simple comfort. Being close to the ocean, both the sounds of the tide moving in and out and waves crashing onto the shore are soothing. This was the backdrop to the inspiration for the home: to create a calming, yet inviting space.

This space was once a utility closet that house the home's aging furnace. In the midst of the renovation, the homeowner decided to upgrade and relocate it to the basement. The now empty closet was converted to a dog space. The half door gives the fur babies a view of the home, as well as a space to relax undisturbed from the home's hustle and bustle.

Located in the Beverly Grove neighborhood of LA. This private residence occupies a bustling corner. Organized as an L-shape along the two street sides, the mass of the building works as a buffer for the interior courtyard and pool. From the exterior the house was divided into two distinct smooth stucco volumes connected by a rough reclaimed wood siding stairway. The roof is clad in standing seam metal with concealed gutters.

Our long-time clients wanted a bit of outdoor entertainment space at their Boston penthouse, and while there were some challenges due to location and footprint, we agreed to help. The views are amazing as this space overlooks the harbor and Boston’s bustling Seaport below. With Logan Airport just on the other side of the Boston Harbor, the arriving jets are a mesmerizing site as their lights line up in preparation to land. The entire space we had to work with is less than 10 feet wide and 45 feet long (think bowling-alley-lane dimensions), so we worked extremely hard to get as much programmable space as possible without forcing any of the areas. The gathering spots are delineated by granite and IPE wood floor tiles supported on a custom pedestal system designed to protect the rubber roof below. The gas grill and wine fridge are installed within a custom-built IPE cabinet topped by jet-mist granite countertops. This countertop extends to a slightly-raised bar area for the ultimate view beyond and terminates as a waterfall of granite meets the same jet-mist floor tiles… custom-cut and honed to match, of course. Moving along the length of the space, the floor transitions from granite to wood, and is framed by sculptural containers and plants. Low-voltage lighting warms the space and creates a striking display that harmonizes with the city lights below. Once again, the floor transitions, this time back to granite in the seating area consisting of two counter-height chairs. "This purposeful back-and-forth of the floor really helps define the space and our furniture choices create these niches that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional.” - Russell The terrace concludes with a large trough planter filled with ornamental grasses in the summer months and a seasonal holiday arrangements throughout the winter. An ‘L’-shaped couch offers a spot for multiple guests to relax and take in the sounds of a custom sound system — all hidden and out of sight — which adds to the magical feel of this ultimate night spot.

A gorgeous retreat in the heart of Houston. The softly trickling fountain and enclosed courtyard makes it easy to leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind.

Hidden from the hustle and bustle, an incredible pantry space is tucked just off of the kitchen and is amongst the crowning jewels of the space. It features open shelving, ample counterspace and boasts windows which bring in fantastic light - unheard of in a pantry! Photo by Spacecrafting Photgraphy
