I work exclusively in 3D so clients, builders, zoning officials, etc all have a clear understanding of what the building will look like before construction begins. Clients are able to download the 3D models and view them inside and out on their own computers, which leads to enhanced collaboration.

THE BATHROOM WAS WIDENED 36" INTO THE ADJOINING BEDROOM TO CREATE MORE SPACE FOR TWO PEOPLE. A WET ROOM WITH CUSTOM GLASS PARTITIONS WAS DESIGNED TO ENCLOSE THE FREESTANDING TUB AND DUAL SHOWER ZONES. WE ALSO ADDED A LARGE, FROSTED PICTURE WINDOW TO ALLOW NATURAL LIGHT INTO THE NEW BATHROOM. A DOUBLE TEAK VANITY, NEW LIGHTING, AND MARBLE MOSAIC FLOORING BREATHE NEW LIFE INTO THE SPACE.

Our mission on this project was to replace an existing basic garage with a functional and attractive new multi-bay garage to house several collector automobiles. The homeowners also had a wish list for a mudroom addition, a kitchen re-do, a bathroom renovation, and systems modifications. Requirements for the garage were specific: a hydraulic lift for working on cars, a second story for storage, and heating and insulation. Serious green thumbs, the couple wanted space for gardening equipment as well. And the garage design should complement the traditional style of the existing house, a classic Chestnut Hill stone colonial revival, built around 1925. As we progressed with the design, the storage room upstairs got upgraded to a multi-purpose studio/loft with a full bath and a shaded balcony. Although the Philadelphia zoning code permits a detached garage at this location, the proposed size—both the footprint and the height needed to accommodate a lift—exceeded the zoning code limits. We shepherded the design through a lengthy zoning review process and obtained a variance, enabling construction to move ahead. Once finishing touches on the interior of the house are completed, we’ll have more photos to share.

The client knew that their site would be a challenge because of the steep grades, but they wanted to make sure that they made it as functional and beautiful as possible. By adding a number of winding and intersecting paths and staircases the finished design allows the user to access almost all parts of the property.

Robert Hopson Construction Group was thrilled to team up with Do+Ba Architects to build this "Canine Comfort Shelter" for the 2016 ASPCA Bark & Build fundraiser, hosted in North Park Shopping Center. The design intent of this shelter is to accommodate a pet’s ever changing comfort zone, whether that is a need to dwell in a tight/confined space out of fear or to look out on the world in curiosity. The “Roof” of the shelter has a dual purpose, rotating on a pivot to become the door should the space need to be enclosed. Special thanks to our model, Oxford Hopson for all of his hard work!

KuDa Photography Remodel of SW Portland home. Clients wanted a very modern esthetic. Right Arm Construction worked closely with the Client and the Architect on the project to ensure project scope was met and exceeded.

Situated on the edge of New Hampshire’s beautiful Lake Sunapee, this Craftsman-style shingle lake house peeks out from the towering pine trees that surround it. When the clients approached Cummings Architects, the lot consisted of 3 run-down buildings. The challenge was to create something that enhanced the property without overshadowing the landscape, while adhering to the strict zoning regulations that come with waterfront construction. The result is a design that encompassed all of the clients’ dreams and blends seamlessly into the gorgeous, forested lake-shore, as if the property was meant to have this house all along. The ground floor of the main house is a spacious open concept that flows out to the stone patio area with fire pit. Wood flooring and natural fir bead-board ceilings pay homage to the trees and rugged landscape that surround the home. The gorgeous views are also captured in the upstairs living areas and third floor tower deck. The carriage house structure holds a cozy guest space with additional lake views, so that extended family and friends can all enjoy this vacation retreat together. Photo by Eric Roth

Our clients wanted to make improvements to their existing crushed driveway. Zoning regulations in this Rhode Island coastal community required the driveway paving to be permeable to manage stormwater and runoff. D'Urso Landscaping along with DJR Construction completed the excavation and installation of a permeable paver system in 2024 and it has improved the usability of the driveway, has eliminated stormwater puddling and runoff, looks fantastic and has increased the value of this coastal home.
