Renovation and reconfiguration of a 4500 sf loft in Tribeca. The main goal of the project was to better adapt the apartment to the needs of a growing family, including adding a bedroom to the children's wing and reconfiguring the kitchen to function as the center of family life. One of the main challenges was to keep the project on a very tight budget without compromising the high-end quality of the apartment.

Burgin Design • Remodel
After inheriting her childhood home, Mrs. Prober decided to move back in with her husband and sister. They knew the 1932 home needed some major updates, as most of the home was in non-working order, and they wanted to be sure it was able to meet everyone’s needs. They updated the home to exactly what they wanted so they could grow old in it and pass it on to their children. After an extensive remodel to include renovations on pretty much every room in the house, the result is a gorgeous new home, inside and out. It’s the perfect place for this family to enjoy their golden years. http://www.burginconstructioninc.com, Orange county, CA, kitchen, bathroom, remodel

Cedar shakes mix with siding and stone to create a richly textural Craftsman exterior. This floor plan is ideal for large or growing families with open living spaces making it easy to be together. The master suite and a bedroom/study are downstairs while three large bedrooms with walk-in closets are upstairs. A second-floor pocket office is a great space for children to complete homework or projects and a bonus room provides additional square footage for recreation or storage.

Leopold's parents wanted to create a bright jungle inspired space for him to sleep and play. We painted the lower half of the room green complete with mountain peaks, the upper half off white creating an illusion of a higher ceiling and a neutral backdrop to a bold jungle mural. As well as specifying furniture and accessories to work with items already owned by the client, I also created a space plan that can be adapted easily as Leopold grows!

See how one Studio Shed ADU brought three generations together in our latest feature with Sonoma Magazine ?????❤️ “Dávila says the multigenerational setup has been healing because she didn’t grow up with her father. Her children love the arrangement, too, she says. Adding that her six-year-old ‘gets up at 6:30 am each morning to go wake grandpa up.” Read the full story at www.sonomamag.com/a-sleek-ADU-in-sonoma-fulfills-multigenerational-living-dream/

This wonderfully warm sea side home in the beautiful area of VIctoria has brought only joy to the family of 4. Their main residence has to withstand young children, growing flexible needs and the weather of being on the peninsular. From cold stormy winds, to sand and surf boards, the home embraces all that is thrown at it to constantly reinvigorate its occupants- so they always feel the true sense of home.

The small backyard off the patio was carefully landscaped to include lush flowers and plants that can grow year-round. The cute playhouse with raised vegetable beds were a must for this owner, and our team was eager to make a custom nook for the children, all the while incorporating the small space and patio it includes.

VISION AND NEEDS:
Our client came to us with a vision for their dream house for their growing family with three young children. This was their second attempt at getting the right design. The first time around, after working with an out-of-state online architect, they could not achieve the level of quality they wanted. McHugh delivered a home with higher quality design.
MCHUGH SOLUTION:
The Shingle/Dutch Colonial Design was our client's dream home style. Their priorities were to have a home office for both parents. Ample living space for kids and friends, along with outdoor space and a pool. Double sink bathroom for the kids and a master bedroom with bath for the parents. Despite being close a flood zone, clients could have a fully finished basement with 9ft ceilings and a full attic. Because of the higher water table, the first floor was considerably above grade. To soften the ascent of the front walkway, we designed planters around the stairs, leading up to the porch.

Our clients for this project were to move back into the Victorian terraced house they bought before their children arrived, having rented it out for the past 20 years. With the kids now growing up and a return planned for the next stage of life, the house was in need of a full refurbishment and a well earnt contemporary extension.
The new proposals at ground floor level started at the back. Here there was the opportunity to radically transform a pokey outrigger kitchen into a larger sociable kitchen and dining space, opening out to the garden. The extension design is built around a large solid oak lined settle, which is a recessed bench reminiscent of traditional settle benches. The settle has concealed storage below, with hinged seat panels to provide access.
The kitchen was custom made to the clients specifications, and incorporates a movable island unit to enable them to set this piece against the wall at the back of the kitchen when hosting parties. A simple jack and trolley system ensures this can be moved, fully loaded, in a matter of minutes.
The settle is located below two openable roof lights, which sit on top of dramatically chamfered oak lined reveals. The design provides at once a practical ventilation strategy, minimal overlooking from neighbours, and a warm materiality that works alongside an abundance of natural light. The oak lining to the settle and roof light reveals continue in a third element, the window seat looking out to the garden. This has a cat flap and litter storage below, and a fixed picture window set within the deep brick reveals.
It was decided early on that the extension would be in brickwork, to complement the existing array of brick structures at the back of the property. A pale handmade brick was chosen, with colour matched mortar and flush pointing, giving a sense of mass and monumentality to the exposed columns and walls used internally and externally. Combined with the oak, we agreed with the clients to ensure a long lasting and timeless aesthetic to take the house through the next 30 years and beyond. Natural stone flooring was chosen by the clients to complement the brickwork, used inside and out.
The front of the ground floor incorporates a petrol green reading room, with bespoke shelving and panelling to create a cosy library space to complement the first floor reception room. The hallway is reconfigured to allow space for a cloakroom and wc, with classic mosaic tiling to both the hallway floor inside and the entrance path. Period features such as new conservation box sash windows and classic skirtings and architraves were re-introduced to restore the house to its former grandeur.
The full refurbishment stretches through all three storeys of the house, predominantly in a restrained classic style within the original house. There are contemporary accents linking the interior scheme to the new extension, through the incorporation of oak joinery and a new staircase leading to loft storage space within the top floor master suite.

With two small children and a third on the way, the owners of an original eighteenth century Cape were quickly out-growing it, but they had no desire to move away from the Cape Cod home and location they loved. They simply needed a reconfigured layout and more space. Their goals included repurposing some existing rooms, adding a new kitchen/family area plus screen porch on the first level, and creating a master suite and roof deck with an outdoor shower on the second level, connected by a new stair.
Our challenge was to improve the flow between existing spaces, and design the two-story addition without overwhelming the pint-sized original Cape. We took advantage of the lower grade at the rear of the property to step the first floor of the addition down two steps from the existing main level. This allowed us to align the second floor in the addition with the existing second floor, while gaining ceiling height in the new first-floor kitchen/family area. We composed a cross-gabled form for the addition to improve the second floor headroom, while maintaining the existing eave line. We then extended some existing shed dormers to gain headroom and enhance function. We also expanded the outdoor living area with privacy walls along the roof deck.
New, larger, double–hung windows that match the lite configuration of the existing windows, along with new side-wall shingles and trim which resemble the existing exterior treatment help to tie the new addition to the old Cape. Though there’s no mistaking the new for the old, the two are simpatico.

This small third bedroom in a 1950's North Vancouver home originally housed our growing interior design business. When we outgrew this 80 square foot space and moved to a studio across the street, I wondered what would become of this room with its lovely ocean view. As it turns out it evolved into a shared creative space for myself and my very artistic 7 year old daughter. In the spirit of Virginia Wolfe's "A Room of One's Own" this is a creative space where we are surrounded by some of our favourite things including vintage collectibles & furniture, artwork and craft projects, not to mention my all time favourite Cole and Son wallpaper. It is all about pretty and girly with just the right amount of colour. Interior Design by Lori Steeves of Simply Home Decorating Inc. Photos by Tracey Ayton Photography.

Contemporary landscape design offers a grand simplicity to this English traditional cottage in West University, Houston. Paving with clean lines and artificial turf replace what was a muddy, underutilized space. A concrete walk frames the children's play lawn and offers a path for bikes. Fig ivy will grow to cover the fence adding a green, textured backdrop to a shady dining area. Eclectic pottery brings a pop of color while bistro seating against a confederate jasmine vine offers a tranquil setting for morning coffee.
