This French Country–inspired kitchen was designed to complement the romantic character of a Tudor Revival cottage near Missionary Ridge. Blending historic charm with modern function, the space feels both curated and timeless.
At its center, a dark-stained maple island anchors the room with depth and elegance. A striking black Ilve professional gas range brings a touch of classic European craftsmanship, paired beautifully with Shadow Storm quartzite countertops and a French casement push-out window that invites in natural light.
A pair of French doors salvaged from Normandy, collected at auction, serve as a key architectural element. The home’s antique windows were reglazed and updated with new hardware, preserving their vintage character. Original wood floors were restored, and a walk-in hidden pantry was seamlessly integrated for added function without disrupting the historical feel.
The result is a richly layered, functional kitchen that brings together old-world elegance and modern craftsmanship in perfect harmony.

A succession of everyday spaces occupied the lower floor of this restored 18th century castle on the hillside.
The existing estate illustrating a period clouded by historic neglect.
The restoration plan for this castle house focused on increasing its spatial value, its open space architecture and re-positioning of its windows. The garden made it possible to enhance the depth of the view over the rooftops and the Baixa river. An existing addition was rebuilt to house to conduct more private and entertainment functions.
The unexpected discovery of an old and buried wellhead and cistern in the center of the house was a pleasant surprise to the architect and owners.

Located in Huntington Bay on Long Island, this historical waterfront home was meticulously renovated and expanded by Stokkers & Company. The interior was transformed to create functional living spaces with a coastal aesthetic, all while maintaining the traditional heritage of the home’s exterior.

The client desired a kitchen that fit her modern day needs but complimented the historic character of her 1920's home. By using classic inspired finishes such as 3x6 subway and a quartz with a vein appearance of natural marble, the desire for a historic flair but with practical appeal was achieved.
The details of a plate rack and the small shelf below the wall cabinets add a touch of function along with a decorative element. These little touches were perfect to establish the period look to blend the new kitchen with the history of the existing home.

This traditional historic bedroom features warm hardwood flooring paired with pale green paneled walls. Natural light filters through double windows dressed in sheer white curtains. A dark wood interior door contrasts with white bi-fold closet doors, creating a simple, functional space ready for modernization.

Historically one of our oldest port cities, Charleston is known for a rich blend of many cultures and craftsmanship. Our Charleston aluminum outdoor furniture blends a classic wide plank coastal furniture design with updated proportions and technological sensibility. Designed functionally and aesthetically to be used with or without a cushion, our Euro height seating comfortably sits in between dining and lounge heights, answering the call for a better chat group design. Offered in a variety of cushion options. Our wrought aluminum has hand polished, 360-degree welds, finished in our ultra UV resistant Mahogany.

The custom fireplace in this room is the real showstopper. We were able to marry a contemporary gas fireplace insert with an antique coal fireplace cover to give this fireplace function and charm. We designed a custom fireplace surround to coordinate with the woodwork in the dining room and utilized a variety of handmade tile sizes and finishes to create a fireplace that feels like it has always been a part of this home. To give this room a bit more natural light we also added a custom window with a lovely diamond pattern.

Longview Farm Park is the remnant of a farm that may have been settled as early as the 1820s. The farm was divided several times and the house modified over the years. The city acquired the 30 acre property for use as a park in 2000. The park contains horse stables, tennis courts, picnic and playgrounds, a nature preserve, walking trails and a small fishing pond. It also retains the historic farm house whose structure contains a log cabin believed to be one of the oldest houses in the county.
Powers Bowersox Associates, Inc. was retained to work with a committee represented by staff, elected officials, and citizens to renovate the house, and to design a new “community living room” connected to the historic farm house. The addition is a long low pavilion type structure that quietly compliments the historic house. It provides a multipurpose community room, catering kitchen, office space for the city’s parks and recreation department, a volunteer gardening club and other local not-for-profit groups, and maintenance storage. It is designed to permit the house and the addition to function separately, or combined as a single venue for community events.
