This historic Mission-area kitchen was transformed into a warm, functional, and beautifully detailed centerpiece of the home. Designed for a repeat client who loves to cook and entertain, the new layout opens the space to the full width of the house, connecting it to the living areas and framing views of the pool and backyard. Custom panel-ready appliances, a statement range hood, marble countertops, and a cherry butcher block island combine timeless craftsmanship with modern function. Built-ins like a bookcase, spice nooks, and a display buffet add character and charm. Every material, finish, and fixture was thoughtfully chosen to create a kitchen that feels classic, collected, and perfectly at home in its historic setting.

This early 20th-century house needed careful updating so it would work for a contemporary family without feeling as though the historical integrity had been lost.
We stepped in to create a more functional combined kitchen and mud room area. A window bench was added off the kitchen, providing a new sitting area where none existed before. New wood detail was created to match the wood already in the house, so it appears original. Custom upholstery was added for comfort.
In the master bathroom, we reconfigured the adjacent spaces to create a comfortable vanity, shower and walk-in closet.
The choices of materials were guided by the existing structure, which was very nicely finished.

The hallway at the second level feature a bookcase that frame the space, making the hatch to access the room an opportunity for a functional and decorative element.

This family home in the historic district needed updating and some added space to make it functional for a growing family. Due to lot constraints, a side addition was the only possible option. This home now has four bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and tons of built-in storage.

This adaptive reuse project brought new life to an old carriage house in one of Philadelphia’s most historic neighborhoods. After serving a multitude of functions over the years, Philadelphia’s Historic commission was brought in to help identify original details and colors that brought the building back to its original beauty.
