This project was a major renovation on one of Baltimore’s CHAP homes. Our team restored the iconic Baltimore storefront windows, matched original hardwood throughout the home, and refinished and preserved the original handrailing on the staircase. On the first floor, we created an open concept kitchen and dining space with beautiful natural light, leading out to an outdoor patio. We are honored to have received Baltimore Heritage’s Historic Preservation Award for Restoration and Rehabilitation in 2019 for our work on this home.

SOURCING: container gardens are ideal for balconies. Ornamental gardens and edible gardens can happily co-exist, preferably in separate containers, because organic edible gardens need organic soil. In this balcony garden, larger pots are wheeled on casters in order to take maximum advantage of the sun during the changing seasons. PACIFIC RIM (TM) casters are used in this garden, and they have held up well during the years. Composite wood is used for balcony tables, one of which is shown here. The composite wood has lasted over a decade, longer than the company which originally made it (EON)! However, other companies currently make similar products available through major retailers; one of them is Polywood (TM), which is available on HOUZZ.

We took this kitchen out of the 70's and into the present. Our client wanted an approachable, and homey space to gather with family and friends. In turn, we gathered inspiration from French country kitchens to guide our design. Removing a load barring wall was the key to expanding the functionality and the feel of this kitchen. Materials also played a major role in achieving harmony. We aimed to create texture by layering leathered Taj Mahal quartzite and brushed marble herringbone along the backsplash. Contrasting the buttery pallet of the stones, we sourced fixtures and accents with bronze and polished nickel finishes. A white oak island was also a subtle star, adding just enough warmth and sense of comfort into the gathering place.
