To fully capture the view and provide ergonomic access to the dining deck/BBQ, the kitchen was relocated to the former family room and the walls separating the original kitchen and family room from the living room were removed. The net result was fluid movement and natural light throughout the entire space combined with ample access to the out of doors.

A wall to wall desk with filing cabinets was added to the kitchen to create a home office. in this suburban townhome. Bone handles add to the interest and are reminiscent of the tribal fabric. The mirror-backed custom pantry doors replaced the white builders' doors and add glamour and sophistication to the space. Since this space serves as living room and family room, all fabrics were chosen with both aesthetics and durability in mind. Mini split face bricks face the TV wall and the custom bench below houses TV components. The iron and metal orb with crystal chandelier adds some sparkle. Gold patchwork rug

These original owners have lived in this home since 2005. They wanted to finish their unused 3rd floor and add value to their home. They are an active family so it seemed fitting to create an in-home gym with a sauna! We also wanted to incorporate a storage closet for Christmas decorations and such. To make this space as energy efficient as possible we added spray foam. Their current HVAC could not handle the extra load, so we installed a mini-split system. There is a large unfinished storage closet as well as a knee wall storage access compartment. The 451 sqft attic now has Rosemary 9” width Ridge Core Waterproof planks on the main floor with a custom carpeted staircase. After a long workout, these homeowners are happy to take a break in their new built-in sauna. Who could blame them!? Even their kids partake in the exercise space and sauna. We are thankful to be able to serve this amazing family.

The home was dark and narrow masking this Victorian brownstone's natural elegance and so with the guidance of the home-owner we embarked on a multi-step transformation in which we widened the walls exposing the natural brick lining the living-room and dining-room space, removed and reinforced the rear wall installing floor to ceiling thermally broken steel windows, extra tall custom inset kitchen cabinets, 3-level mini-split AC/Heating system, and several other improvements to the home owner's delight.
