Our clients loved their old home but were ready for some updates. Based on the foundation and other historical clues, they believe it was built around 1890. The house was well-built and full of character. While it had a charming front porch, it was far from the kitchen and faced the driveway. We added a spacious side porch just off the kitchen, creating the perfect spot for outdoor dining. By connecting it to the original porch, we created a natural flow from the front door through the rest of the home. Inside, we redesigned the kitchen and dining area to open up the space and views. The homeowners chose retro appliances that complement the home’s vintage charm.

The Keeping Room was very dark when we started, and our client asked us to brighten it up! The new rug pulls coloration out of the existing artwork along with adding movement to the space. The brightly colored movable storage cubes help create the foundation of color in the room. We painted and distressed the existing mirror a lighter color, added new lamps and embroidered linen draperies. We incorporated the wall color into the coffered ceiling to define the beautiful trim-work.

A fun project combining a love of color with a love for an eclectic mix of furnishings and accessories. It was a great adventure figuring out how to marry the traditional style and good furniture that her husband grew up with and loved, with the funky vibe and saturated colors my client and her husband both wanted in their home. We started with high quality traditional furnishings and a classic oriental rug to lay the foundation. Then we added in modern elements, such as a gorgeous chunky wooden table for the eating area, paired with sleek warm white leather chairs and bold lighting that is anything but traditional. The top layer of Chihuly inspired glass, bright pottery, colorful fabrics, new dramatic custom curtains, and my client's own collections made everything just come together. Photos by Laura Kicey

A light and airy contemporary design was the perfect fit for this Bridgehampton home! By mixing trendy, tailored pieces along with some classic farmhouse elements, we were able to merge these two styles and offer our clients their ultimate dream home. The entire home was dressed in a soft neutral color palette, with warm whites, beiges, and rich browns. This was perfect for accentuating the natural beauty of the classic architecture and provided the foundation for incorporating more contemporary and modern furnishings.

This house was designed to maintain clean sustainability and durability. Minimal, simple, modern design techniques were implemented to create an open floor plan with natural light. The entry of the home, clad in wood, was created as a transitional space between the exterior and the living spaces by creating a feeling of compression before entering into the voluminous, light filled, living area. The large volume, tall windows and natural light of the living area allows for light and views to the exterior in all directions. This project also considered our clients' need for storage and love for travel by creating storage space for an Airstream camper in the oversized 2 car garage at the back of the property. As in all of our homes, we designed and built this project with increased energy efficiency standards in mind. Our standards begin below grade by designing our foundations with insulated concrete forms (ICF) for all of our exterior foundation walls, providing the below grade walls with an R value of 23. As a standard, we also install a passive radon system and a heat recovery ventilator to efficiently mitigate the indoor air quality within all of the homes we build.

For this kitchen remodel, our clients wanted to give their space a fresh, updated look without undergoing a full renovation. Since their existing cabinet boxes were still in great shape, cabinet refacing was the perfect solution. They selected a shaker door style in the soft, modern Stratus color, creating a clean and versatile foundation for the design. To elevate the space, we installed Calacatta Coloma quartz countertops, bringing in a touch of elegance with its subtle veining and luxurious finish. Completing the look is a stunning Raku Silver backsplash, adding depth, texture, and a beautiful reflective quality that ties the entire kitchen together. The end result is a bright and inviting kitchen that perfectly blends modern design with lasting comfort — and our clients couldn’t be happier with their transformation.

Our client bought an older expansive bungalow in Manotick with a stunning waterfront backyard. This beautiful setting became the foundation for our open concept Kitchen and Family Room Design. Besides the usual great functional requirements, the client wanted a ‘Rockstar’ visual kitchen to complement an eclectic collection of Mid-Century Furniture and objects. The reclaimed Northern Wide plank Oak hardwood (colour: Mill creek, collection: Artifax), floor provides a rustic and comfortable grounding to the crisp modernism of the kitchen. The floor is especially practical as the inevitable scratches from the family dog can be easily corrected by the client. The Kitchen features a ‘Bridge’ design of walnut cabinetry surrounding the pro-style fridge and freezer. Other appliances are clustered with demi-tall pantries and form an interesting linear definition that suits the ‘Long’ Room of Kitchen and Family Room. A walnut Eating Bar and walnut interior for the dish pantry complete the triad of walnut in the Kitchen. High gloss white cabinets featuring handle-free design are topped with gray quartz. The stunning Noble Grey light marble backsplash is installed with a Horizontal grain to complement the linear definition. The Family Room features an offset linear fireplace that is balanced with a substantial walnut entertainment unit. The awkward and unmoveable doorway was incorporated into the design to create the effect of a unit that is much larger than it actually is. The walnut wood matches the Kitchen but is installed with a horizontal grain, repeating the character of the kitchen backsplash.

A lovely traditional dining room, a nod to the historic architecture of the 1908 home. An imported handmade area rug is the foundation of the room. Scalamandre floral linen drapery fabric adds elegance and pops of color. Grass cloth wallpaper provides interesting texture and a suitable backdrop for the Client's original art.

knickerbockergroup.com Photo copyright 2017 Darren Setlow / @darrensetlow / darrensetlow.com The story of Tide’s Ledge began much differently than it ended. It was originally conceived as a transitional home, but one that was distinctly more on the traditional side, so as not to “stick out too much” in its classic coastal Maine environment. As the design team continued to meet with the clients about their desires and the direction of the project, it became apparent that there was a disconnect between the objective and the inspiration imagery they were drawn to. The design was well underway, the foundation going in the ground, when the lead Architect stopped the process short to address the conflicting visions. He pointed out that the clients did in fact have a keen eye for contemporary design and were clearly attracted to something with more of an edge. After mulling it over for a few days, the clients decided to take a leap of faith and truly build the house of their dreams. They then gave Knickerbocker permission to develop a fresh concept, and soon a new home emerged.
