This large expanse of lawn needed a major make over. Designer added many color full water wise ornamental grasses, shrubs and perennials. Took out 85% of existing lawn and added a new patio, steps, garden with grow boxes and strategic screens too. Designed for maximum enjoyment and preserving/enhancing their views while saving much water and maintenance. Rick Laughlin, APLD

This loft renovation, located in New York City's West Village, demonstrates a discrete addition placed into a context rather than a complete makeover of an entire space. Although modest in size, the existing loft has an exceptional feeling of openness, making it feel spacious and airy. The design approach respects the original character and charm of the loft while introducing new elements that enhance its functionality and aesthetic appeal.

KITCHEN REFRESH project recently completed in Highland Park - To keep costs down our designers retained the existing perimeter cabinets, sprayed and modified them, replaced the island and pantry cabinetry to enhance functionality & storage, installed new fixtures, finishes and countertops to completely transform this once dated kitchen.

A new “Front Porch”, including shingled low walls, paired columns, and stone entry steps, was part of the complete transformation of a circa 1905 house. “Exterior Enhancements” including re-shingling, re-roofing, new trim and adding roof details and extending the roof ends of the existing home, and also for the Garage. The new “Front Porch” required obtaining Zoning Board approval.

Client needed to add impact to front entrance using existing terracing. We designed meandering pathways with sitting areas enhanced by beautiful gardens that are also fully enjoyed from the front porch.

This design transforms the existing primary bathroom into a serene and timeless retreat. The vision focuses on light, balance, and refined simplicity. By emphasizing symmetry, natural materials, and soft tonal contrast, the space feels cohesive and elevated. The vaulted ceiling and natural daylight from the skylight inspired a soft, calming palette and subtle layering of textures. The new layout enhances functionality while creating a spa-like atmosphere centered on comfort and calm.

Our client purchased an apartment on the top floor of an old 1930’s building with expansive views of the San Francisco Bay from the palace of Fine Arts, Golden Gate Bridge, to Alcatraz Island. The existing apartment retained some of the original detailing and the owner wished to enhance and build on the existing traditional themes that existed there. We reconfigured the apartment to add another bedroom, relocated the kitchen, and remodeled the remaining spaces. The design included moving the kitchen to free up space to add an additional bedroom. We also did the interior design and detailing for the two existing bathrooms. The master bath was reconfigured entirely. We detailed and guided the selection of all of the fixtures, finishes and lighting design for a complete and integrated interior design of all of the spaces.
