This recently purchased home in Baltimore near Morgan State University had original wood siding, which was rotting in some places, and had single pane wood windows that were leaking air and provided no insulation value. Capital provided and installed custom vinyl insulated replacement windows that are highly energy efficient with 12 layers of Low-e and argon, along with additional luxury features and benefits such as Tru-v beveled colonial grid pattern. In addition to the windows, Capital provided and installed Mastic Quest 4’’ siding in Pebblestone Clay with Rugged Canyon trim as a beautiful accent while capping all windows and doors in white.

Colonial reimagined! This traditional New Jersey colonial style family home was in need of an update to fit the family’s needs. The living room specifically was stuffy and hardly used. The goal was to take this colonial traditional home and give it a new direction! Where to start? The Floors! This room was carpeted and just did not wear well- so we recommended a change in all the flooring to a new wood stained with a light touch. This provided the backdrop to make some major changes in the style of the room. The client’s were very trusting as we had worked with them before- and when we suggested a black greek key grasscloth- we were happily surprised they embraced the idea. Sexy but comfortable The client wanted to be able to come into this room for specific reasons- to read and relax without television, to play the piano and to entertain. The room needed a cozy and cohesive style and with comfortable furnishings and a place to display treasures. A bar was a nice touch too!

Drawing inspiration from a colonial-era farmhouse, beauty and function are achieved with a blend of door styles and finishes on the cabinets and armoire. The working fireplace in the Stonehill kitchen by Wood-Mode provides a great way to stay toasty.

The homeowners of this traditional colonial in Grosse Pointe Park needed an update to their master bathroom that would provide more space and utility. The challenge was giving them a classic look so that it fit with their home, without being formal so that it fit the family. We combined a jade picket tile from, with a hexagon tile on the floor and marble accents; added a fabulous mint green vanity and topped it off with traditional Delta fixtures. This bathroom can’t be beat!

The charm and style of this historic Spanish colonial home in Paradise Valley radiates through the base of the Camelback Mountain. Old growth olive and specimen Ironwoods frame the home as grass areas provide a visual transition from garden to a sun-drenched desert adaptive plant palette. The garden spaces transform from season to season due to the fields of perennials and wildflowers. Unusual succulents and cacti sets the tone for this picturesque, evolving private botanical garden.

Every home is filled with meaning, but this one is especially significant to its owners. The clients were high school sweethearts and were returning back to Ohio to enjoy their retirement. They decided to build next door to the house she had grown up in, which happened to be on the property once owned by his grandparents! We worked together to develop a design that provided the classic detailing they wanted, while providing connected spaces filled with light. It was built with extra TLC too, with the homeowners doing everything from the rough framing to the interior trim themselves!

An open house lot is like a blank canvas. When Mathew first visited the wooded lot where this home would ultimately be built, the landscape spoke to him clearly. Standing with the homeowner, it took Mathew only twenty minutes to produce an initial color sketch that captured his vision - a long, circular driveway and a home with many gables set at a picturesque angle that complemented the contours of the lot perfectly. The interior was designed using a modern mix of architectural styles – a dash of craftsman combined with some colonial elements – to create a sophisticated yet truly comfortable home that would never look or feel ostentatious. Features include a bright, open study off the entry. This office space is flanked on two sides by walls of expansive windows and provides a view out to the driveway and the woods beyond. There is also a contemporary, two-story great room with a see-through fireplace. This space is the heart of the home and provides a gracious transition, through two sets of double French doors, to a four-season porch located in the landscape of the rear yard. This home offers the best in modern amenities and design sensibilities while still maintaining an approachable sense of warmth and ease. Photo by Eric Roth
