The Clients contacted Cecil Baker + Partners to reconfigure and remodel the top floor of a prominent Philadelphia high-rise into an urban pied-a-terre. The forty-five story apartment building, overlooking Washington Square Park and its surrounding neighborhoods, provided a modern shell for this truly contemporary renovation. Originally configured as three penthouse units, the 8,700 sf interior, as well as 2,500 square feet of terrace space, was to become a single residence with sweeping views of the city in all directions. The Client’s mission was to create a city home for collecting and displaying contemporary glass crafts. Their stated desire was to cast an urban home that was, in itself, a gallery. While they enjoy a very vital family life, this home was targeted to their urban activities - entertainment being a central element. The living areas are designed to be open and to flow into each other, with pockets of secondary functions. At large social events, guests feel free to access all areas of the penthouse, including the master bedroom suite. A main gallery was created in order to house unique, travelling art shows. Stemming from their desire to entertain, the penthouse was built around the need for elaborate food preparation. Cooking would be visible from several entertainment areas with a “show” kitchen, provided for their renowned chef. Secondary preparation and cleaning facilities were tucked away. The architects crafted a distinctive residence that is framed around the gallery experience, while also incorporating softer residential moments. Cecil Baker + Partners embraced every element of the new penthouse design beyond those normally associated with an architect’s sphere, from all material selections, furniture selections, furniture design, and art placement.

Billy and one of our subcontracted designers located a home plan online that they believed had a great exterior, and would draw potential buyers to the home due to the curb appeal that the home offered. They took the plan then made interior adjustments as well as added some desired exterior features that would keep the layout, and look of the home on target for the style of homes that MHI is custom to building. Once changes were made Billy had our architect draw up the plan and we named this beautiful home the Havencrest Plan. The name was given as we feel this home will be a Haven (place of refuge) for any homeowner. Philip Slowiak Photography

Living in Florida was wonderful but our clients missed seeing their daughter and her family. They missed spending time with their adorable grandchildren. With almost four acres of land to work with, they decided to bring the two families together. We encountered a few difficulties when working on this project. Using a saw-tooth design, we were able to get the space we needed and stay within the building restriction lines. With the tough winter weather, we encountered a few delays but had to meet the target date as our clients were moving up from the south and needed their new home to be move-in ready. Making selections in person can be tough and most of their selections were made from five state's away. Topped with CertainTeed Shingles, this two-story brick and Hardie Plank addition is trimmed with dental moulding and blends seamlessly with the existing home. BF Rich windows and slider allow ample light. An Azek composite deck with stairs offers easy access to the backyard and the pool area. The open kitchen and family room are the heart of this home. Armstrong laminate in white wash walnut unifies the rooms. In the kitchen, gorgeous Norcraft Copenhagen Maple cabinetry, stylish granite countertops, and the Bellavinita Tile backsplash are stunning. In the family room, two 30" wide niches were custom built on either side of the gas fireplace for pictures, knick-knacks, and plants. They add charm and distinction. The master bath and powder room both have Norcraft vanities topped with granite and under-mount sinks. The master bath is adorned with American Olean tile and a strip of Marazzi Crystal Stone offsets. The niche, grab bar and corner seat all add convenience. Moen and Kohler products were used throughout the remodel. The suite offers many storage options - from the walk-in bedroom closet, cabinetry, attic and basement. Everything came together beautifully. The quality of construction is exemplary and the addition is amazing. We stayed within their budget and significantly increased the value of this property. Our clients are thrilled with their beautiful new in-law suite and very happy to be near their family once again.
