The existing kitchen was a work in progress, with many items left unfinished or exposed. We renovated the entire kitchen, leaving the sink and range in the same locations, but re-vamping all of the finishes except for the existing clay red floor tile which runs throughout the house. Unlike most kitchens, the existing kitchen had wonderful lighting and extensive views to the outside due to strategically placed windows between the countertop and the wall cabinets as well as large casement windows on either end of the galley kitchen. New custom kitchen cabinets with stainless steel pulls were installed between the large casement windows to maintain the views and light quality. The countertop is a white low maintenance quartz material. A tall band of white glass tiles run along the backsplash to underline the long bank of windows. Opposite the work counter is a bank of tall cabinets housing the pantry, utility closet, refrigerator, water heater, and a built-in microwave. We re-used the ingeniously located track lighting and track heads, replacing the existing mismatched CFL bulbs with all new LED bulbs throughout the house. We also added new LED undercabinet lighting along the work counter to provide task lighting.

The outdated vanity was successfully replaced with a sleek, modern dual sink vanity adorned with white quartz countertops. The linen closet was ingeniously replaced with custom-built cabinetry, offering a space-saving solution that ensures convenience and easy accessibility.

Change your bed as easily as you change your bedding. This ingeniously designed bed has adjustable posts that allow for five configurations, from grand, four-poster style to a more understated look. The bed itself has a West Indies influence, with handcarved acanthus leaf and reeded detail, along with elaborate discs and ball forms. Crafted of mahogany with a rich mahogany finish.

The custom built home office features great amounts of storage and an ingenious way to hide printers & file cabinets while having them still readily available.

We handcrafted this traditional fitted home office and library in natural oak for our client’s characterful home in the village of West Chiltington in West Sussex. The bespoke, made to measure furniture features an executive desk, carefully configured bookcase cabinets and ingenious solutions for concealed storage. Decorative design features include fluted solid oak pilasters which add a sophisticated, classic look to the cabinetry. The cabinet doors, drawer fronts and frames have been constructed in 25mm thick European oak, and the warm tones and rich grain of this sustainable timber create a welcoming and productive home office with a timeless quality Shaped statement desk This impressive statement desk has been beautifully handcrafted for long-term durability and practical comfort. The angled shape creates a comfortable seating area with ample leg room. Every side of the desk has a high-quality finish to present a professional appearance from every angle in the room. The real oak veneered surface has solid oak edges and features two hand-fitted, sheepskin leather insets in a medium tan colour. Other customised features include eight equal-sized drawers and two pencil storage drawers, Shaker-style cabinetry The floor to ceiling and wall-to-wall oak bookcase cabinetry features tailored shelving, lower cupboards and hanging file drawers, and a glass-fronted upper display unit. This central cabinet is beautifully illuminated with concealed, dimmable LED lighting. The cabinet countertop and desktop both feature a matching chamfered edge and plinth detail. A chamfer is a refined yet impactful design choice that achieves a safer, more durable, and visually appealing furniture. All the cabinets are fully lined with real oak veneer. We also hand finished the cabinetry with natural Rubio Monocoat wood oil in Pure, which accentuates the authentic look of the oak.

On a remarkably small lot, we've ingeniously maximized every square inch to craft a home perfectly tailored to our client's needs. Embracing traditional elements like classic colors, welcoming windows, charming shutters, protective overhangs, exposed rafter tails, and inviting enlarged porches, this design proves that even the most compact footprint can yield a highly functional and beautiful house.

An ingenious use of space on this project was an installation of a functioning lift system. It provides an easy way to move items from the foyer on the first floor to the attic above the second level. A godsend for lifting suitcases and holiday decor out of the way – and all with the push of a button.

For many of us, the bathroom is a haven of relaxation, an intimate nook for unwinding. Bluform Prima is a perfect example of the modern day bathroom. It is an ingenious merging of Pininfarina’s design aptitude and superior craftsmanship. Extraordinary in every way, it will transform your ordinary baths into wonderful experiences. It is inspired by the tantalizing rhythms of flowing water and has elements infused with fluid sinuous lines.

As so many scrumptious details and highlights abound in this kitchen, what first catches one’s eye is the ingenious application of zebra wood and other wood finishes. For example, the center island enjoys a magma gold granite with the added splash of zebra wood flanking it. “Pairing wood with stone provides a nice combination of materials,” noted Shinneman, who appreciates the warm touch the wood offers to the countertop. The island is also a multi-tasking unit. It houses a dishwasher, a GE Advantium speed cook oven, a main sink, storage underneath and ample seating space around its perimeter.

Embarking on the second phase of this renovation journey, Project Manager, George Griffin, and Designer, Justina Auer, seamlessly extended their collaboration to elevate this next space – the bathroom! As with the kitchen area, this was a small space where we strategically eliminated the soffits that made the room feel small and cramped. A reconfiguration of the layout saw the removal of the knee wall at the end of the tub, contributing to a more open and fluid spatial arrangement. The addition of a storage cabinet to the vanity ingeniously designed to house everyday bathroom essentials without compromising on the allure of the double bowl vanity. The generous sized mirror spanning both sinks not only serves a functional purpose but also cleverly conveys an illusion of a larger bathroom. The soft cream colors mixed with sandy beiges and warm tones give the new room a cozy and charming ambiance to the rejuvenated space. The harmonious blend of colors elevates the visual appeal and contributes to the overall comfort of the space. We loved working with these clients, and we’re looking forward to “raising the roof” with them on forthcoming projects in their home.

The Timothy Hyde House, c. 1729, dear to the homeowners for its historic details, but long-lacking the family oriented spaces and living areas essential for today’s extended family lifestyle. Unwilling to compromise an ounce of character, this growing family longed for more practical amenities like a visitor’s private retreat with bedroom, living room and bath, garage parking, a proper master bedroom layout with full bath and walk-in closet, in addition to a new kitchen that would function as the heart of the home. Ultimately the total square footage was doubled and the entire flow of the home was reworked keeping all of the character details intact. The kitchen is the hub, serving up its center island topped off with reclaimed white oak once belonging to a barn built in the 1880’s; jet mist leather granite tops off the remainder of the kitchen. Custom cable lighting was the ingenious solution for the complicated preservation of the original exposed beams and posts in the kitchen. The barn door was custom crafted from original timbers. Many cups of coffee will be enjoyed at the cozy, sun-filled dining nook overlooking the family room and new adjacent deck. The rear, separate entry mudroom with step-up laundry was a long awaited luxury over the previous basement facilities. Moving upstairs, a centrally located bathroom was removed to create a wheelhouse style landing/passage hall, now home to a quiet workspace, featuring original wide plank floors and tailor-made sconces. Baths were added and upgraded including soapstone tops, marble, a glorious soaker tub in the generous master bath, all giving the home a taste of luxury. Bathing in sunlight rests the master suite starring the original beams, cathedral ceilings, and well-suited chandelier. Throughout the home strategically designed built-ins provide a plethora of storage and organization. This 280 year-old Colonial shines on brighter than ever. We are proud to have been part of its long history. Photo by Eric Roth
