This house was a very small mid-century bungalow with previous additions that resulted in a large but chaotic layout. The owners wanted to convert the house to a super-efficient, and charming Craftsman-style, 6 bedroom home for their large family and work at home. We achieved the space needs by moving a few walls for a more efficient, organized layout, setting up spaces for overlapping uses, and making a small upstairs addition. Every bit of square footage was optimized to meet the goals of the project without making the house huge or adding unnecessary cost. Much thought was given to the entry sequence near the front door. A large flow-through mudroom with storage for each family member, and adjacent laundry, make it easy for children to be taught to keep their things organized and to contribute to household chores. A mail station and central home admin area at the mudroom help keep clutter down at other areas and minimize home management tasks. A garage door near the kitchen gives quick access to bulk items. The existing house had too much view to the street from the living room through large corner windows, and too little entry transition, to the extent that the family did not feel comfortable using the living room much without shades drawn. We raised the window sills and brought the new windows in from the corner of the house, allowing plenty of light while protecting privacy and a sense of enclosure in the living room. We enlarged the front porch to create a more graceful transition from the public to private space. We located the front door so that the circulation from entry into the house would allow for furnishing the living room with a sitting circle that is not intruded upon by people walking through the room. Sight lines through the living spaces were an important consideration in the design. The owners wanted discreet spaces for living room, kitchen, dining and family room, but also wanted the living spaces to feel connected and to be able to easily watch their children. Being able to see the children playing in the yard while getting things done inside the house was also important. While largely working with the existing structure, we opened walls and rearranged the use of spaces to make a series of connected living spaces with long views through them. The character of the remodeled house is a contemporary Craftsman with classic materials and cool, consistent colors. A few arches echo through the house to frame spaces and soften the feeling of the rooms. Photography: Kurt Manley https://saikleyarchitects.com/portfolio/bungalow-expansion/

Several years ago, we updated the exterior of this home by adding the stonework, the full color flagstone patio, retaining walls, and built-in grill. The latest addition to this great outdoor space is the pergola. The shade structure’s roof slats were built at an angle to provide shade while still allowing light though. This light and airy home in Chadds Ford, PA, was a custom home renovation for long-time clients that included the installation of red oak hardwood floors, the master bedroom, master bathroom, two powder rooms, living room, dining room, study, foyer and staircase. remodel included the removal of an existing deck, replacing it with a beautiful flagstone patio. Each of these spaces feature custom, architectural millwork and custom built-in cabinetry or shelving. A special showcase piece is the continuous, millwork throughout the 3-story staircase.

Designed by Randy O’Kane of Bilotta Kitchens, the inspiration for this project was an industrial farmhouse-chic look – it’s the theme throughout the client’s whole house. The client (a mother of four, running a busy household) wanted a real oasis for bathing and showering – an escape from reality. She and her husband are the type of people who actually use their tub so that was carefully selected from Victoria + Albert Baths. The existing structure of the original master bathroom included the high vaulted ceiling. Randy decided to add the reclaimed wood beams to give the room shape and bring in more of that farmhouse element. She selected a trough sink from Decolav as a contemporary twist on a horse trough. Even the porcelain floor, selected from Rye Ridge Tile, looks like wood that you would see in a barn. The countertop is Caesartstone’s Calacatta Nuvo honed. The overall palette is a contrasting mix of soothing neutrals and much darker browns and black. All fixtures are in a matte black finish, including the trim on the shower enclosure, providing a nod to the industrial side; the brushed brass lighting touches on the elegant side. The two walls with the chevron tile are really the feature of the room. The Vanity is Bilotta Collection Cabinetry in a 1” thick door in Rift Cut White Oak with Smokey Oak Stain.

Home's may have particularly wonderful elements to serve the function of the household or merely to decorate the structure and sometimes it is both. In this dining room hutch we have an element which plays off the traditional corner cabinet. The universal appeal of this hutch with its' graceful arched doors and divided lites is noteworthy for several reasons: 1) the glass reflects light off the windows of the room, 2) it is recessed and encased in its own door case molding mimicking either passageway left and right, 3) it's design allows for display of beautiful dinnerware, and 4) because of its linear design is able to store much more than even a large corner cabinet. Found within the original portion of the residence, Jaeger & Ernst cabinetmakers were pleased to assist in the design and execution of this piece. Jaeger & Ernst cabinetmakers: 434-973-7018

We renovated the exterior and the 4-car garage of this colonial, New England-style estate in Haverford, PA. The 3-story main house has white, western red cedar siding and a green roof. The detached, 4-car garage also functions as a gentleman’s workshop. Originally, that building was two separate structures. The challenge was to create one building with a cohesive look that fit with the main house’s New England style. Challenge accepted! We started by building a breezeway to connect the two structures. The new building’s exterior mimics that of the main house’s siding, stone and roof, and has copper downspouts and gutters. The stone exterior has a German shmear finish to make the stone look as old as the stone on the house. The workshop portion features mahogany, carriage style doors. The workshop floors are reclaimed Belgian block brick. RUDLOFF Custom Builders has won Best of Houzz for Customer Service in 2014, 2015 2016 and 2017.

Inspiration for a modern bathroom remodel in DC Metro

This house was a very small mid-century bungalow with previous additions that resulted in a large but chaotic layout. The owners wanted to convert the house to a super-efficient, and charming Craftsman-style, 6 bedroom home for their large family and work at home. We achieved the space needs by moving a few walls for a more efficient, organized layout, setting up spaces for overlapping uses, and making a small upstairs addition. Every bit of square footage was optimized to meet the goals of the project without making the house huge or adding unnecessary cost. Much thought was given to the entry sequence near the front door. A large flow-through mudroom with storage for each family member, and adjacent laundry, make it easy for children to be taught to keep their things organized and to contribute to household chores. A mail station and central home admin area at the mudroom help keep clutter down at other areas and minimize home management tasks. A garage door near the kitchen gives quick access to bulk items. The existing house had too much view to the street from the living room through large corner windows, and too little entry transition, to the extent that the family did not feel comfortable using the living room much without shades drawn. We raised the window sills and brought the new windows in from the corner of the house, allowing plenty of light while protecting privacy and a sense of enclosure in the living room. We enlarged the front porch to create a more graceful transition from the public to private space. We located the front door so that the circulation from entry into the house would allow for furnishing the living room with a sitting circle that is not intruded upon by people walking through the room. Sight lines through the living spaces were an important consideration in the design. The owners wanted discreet spaces for living room, kitchen, dining and family room, but also wanted the living spaces to feel connected and to be able to easily watch their children. Being able to see the children playing in the yard while getting things done inside the house was also important. While largely working with the existing structure, we opened walls and rearranged the use of spaces to make a series of connected living spaces with long views through them. The character of the remodeled house is a contemporary Craftsman with classic materials and cool, consistent colors.
