Side view of shingle style house on Kiawah Island. From front to back, the lot offered only 145 feet in buildable length, so we utilized the property’s width to fit five bedrooms, ample living space, spacious pool deck, and lush lawn.

The client wanted a deck to be connected to the rest of the yard and transition to the upper deck 10ft of grade to the patio on grade. The centrally located circular kitchen area services both the patio and the upper deck and gives lots of options whether it’s just the family or a party for 50. Minimizing rails and stairs during the transition from the upper deck to the lower deck on grade was critical to the clients. Adding the kitchen to the project without obstructing the view out the rear patio doors was also an important request from the client. The WOLF PVC Black Walnut accents and fascia really sets off the Driftwood field. Dutch Quality weathered ledge stone was used in the kitchen with a granite counter. Custom welded aluminum rails and EP Henry Bristol pavers are also featured. The built in flower beds extend the feel of the patio area and allow for plantings to be added. This project turned an unusable back yard and disconnected elevated deck into cohesive multi-level living space.

Woodland Builders transformed this first floor, which was once disconnected and constrained. By switching the locations of the dining room and kitchen, we optimized the layout for functionality, flow, and socialization. The expansive new kitchen and dining room have become vibrant, multifunctional spaces. They effortlessly cater to the needs of a seven-person family with enhanced storage solutions and a dedicated coffee and cocktail bar. These improvements create a sense of openness and connection, making the space ideal for entertaining.

Feinmann transformed this once cramped, disconnected, first-floor living space into a grand contemporary kitchen with room for dining, cooking, and entertaining. The homeowners specifically wanted to create a connected and modern kitchen with great lighting, room for two cooks, and more counter and storage space. Our solution was to bump out their home’s side entrance and remove the walls between their kitchen, family, and sunroom. These changes allowed us to create a space with open site lines and an entire wall of windows that offers ample natural light and a full view of the back yard.

The renovations at Horseshoe Hill transformed a disjointed property into an alluring farmhouse with strong connections to the landscape and a fresh aesthetic to complement the owner’s South African furnishings. A new main gable establishes a strong central focus for the massing, and an entry wing addition welcomes visitors with a charming porch and inviting foyer. New south-facing covered porches create comfortable outdoor living areas, connect major rooms to the outdoors, and provide shade and filtered light for interior spaces. The home’s updated floor plan distills an existing warren of disconnected, small chambers into spacious, open rooms that infuse the house with a modern flow and engage the new pool.

Building a new home in an old neighborhood can present many challenges for an architect. The Warren is a beautiful example of an exterior, which blends with the surrounding structures, while the floor plan takes advantage of the available space. A traditional façade, combining brick, shakes, and wood trim enables the design to fit well in any early 20th century borough. Copper accents and antique-inspired lanterns solidify the home’s vintage appeal. Despite the exterior throwback, the interior of the home offers the latest in amenities and layout. Spacious dining, kitchen and hearth areas open to a comfortable back patio on the main level, while the upstairs offers a luxurious master suite and three guests bedrooms.

A major aspect of the project included an extensive kitchen remodel, as the previous kitchen was disconnected from the main living area. Our clients wanted a bright and cohesive space to enjoy with their family and friends. New contemporary style, oak cabinets complement the sleek, walnut upper cabinets and island. Teak wood slats found behind a section of floating upper cabinets elegantly hide the staircase leading to the first floor.
