The owners of this 1950s colonial on Philadelphia’s Main Line wanted to preserve its traditional architecture and take advantage of the kitchen’s ample footprint. In addition to reworking the floorplan and improving the flow, the owner wanted a large island with several seating options, a desk area and a small table for dining. One of the design goals was to transform the spacious room into a functional kitchen that still felt intimate and comfortable for everyday use. Furniture style inset cabinetry kept the room in tune with the home’s original character and made it feel less utilitarian. Removing the wall that hindered the flow and views between the kitchen and the adjacent family room ensured that the main entertaining areas flowed together. Stylistically, we wanted to avoid the typical white kitchen, opting instead to pull in rich wood tones to create a warmer and more classic look.

This was a motor court efficiency unit that the owners moved to the property to be used as a guest house in the 70's. The roof line along the street is the original unit. The previous owners added on and enclosed the front porch, but you'd never know. Justin Itnyre Photo

A showcase suite to show off the Philips’ catalogue of LED light bulbs, this loft in Gastown’s Paris Annex building belongs to a bachelor, but was restaged with a woman in mind. Using many of the owner’s existing furnishings, the once linear, masculine room becomes more lithe and feminine with the introduction of white, colour and curves. Shapely pieces from Moroso, Vitra and BD Barcelona complement the clean lines of Bensen’s Canyon sectional. An eye-catching aqua wall is echoed in the silk thread in the Jan Kath rug. White accents imbue brightness throughout. Photo: Josh Dunford

Architect Neal Huston designed this smaller floor plan which accommodates the owner’s lifestyle. A large living/kitchen/dining area with large windows and door opening to the private patio are perfect for entertaining. Two master suites at opposite ends of the house plus a “Casita” for extended-stay guests. The inviting detached Casita has a comfortable seating area, bathroom with a clawfoot tub/shower, and bedroom.

This 1960s home was in original condition and badly in need of some functional and cosmetic updates. We opened up the great room into an open concept space, converted the half bathroom downstairs into a full bath, and updated finishes all throughout with finishes that felt period-appropriate and reflective of the owner's Asian heritage.

We helped the owners turn their original 1930’s kitchen into a more modern and functional design while still saving two of the original cabinets.

Bathroom - modern bathroom idea in Charleston

This contemporary vacation home in Punta Gorda, Florida is the latest Art Dallas residential collaboration. Combining the owner’s artwork, their rock and roll photograph collection and new art, we were able to create a package of artwork that kept the project on budget and ready in just 3 weeks. Our in-house welding department created metal furniture to work with the artwork and picture framing package. We printed a large 96 wide by 48 high direct to metal print for the living room, framed the owner’s art and selected additional artwork to complete an art package with the look and feel the owners wanted. The Art Dallas consulting team took great care to create a visually appealing, livable, and workable space. The consulting team started with an open line of communication and kept the client involved in every step of the streamlined creative process! We love the vibe of this open floor plan space and are so grateful we could #makeitartful!

Placed within an idyllic beach community, this modern family home is filled with both playful and functional spaces. Natural light reflects throughout and oversized openings allow for movement to the outdoor spaces. Custom millwork completes the kitchen with concealed appliances, and creates a space well suited for entertaining. Accents of concrete add strength and architectural context to the spaces. Livable finishes of white oak and quartz are simple and hardworking. High ceilings in the bedroom level allowed for creativity in children’s spaces, and the addition of colour brings in that sense of playfulness. Art pieces reflect the owner’s time spent abroad, and exude their love of life – which is fitting in a place where the only boundaries to roam are the ocean and railways.

Adjacent to the kitchen is the spacious family room with dramatic 2-story ceiling and a gas fireplace with stone surround.

The 2nd floor features 2 additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a convenient loft space.

On this project, Gallery KBNY undertook one of our biggest home renovations to date. The project was a complete overhaul and gut renovation of a Brooklyn brownstone, standing four-stories in the heart of Bed-Stuy, that involved touching every square inch of the entire space. The owner of this property, a real estate developer who was looking for an all-inclusive firm to handle the entire process, hired Gallery and tasked us with creating an owner’s quadplex with a separate garden studio apartment as a rental unit.

S+H applied an open-concept approach to this renovation, marrying the existing midcentury aesthetic with the indoor-outdoor living element desired by the owners.

We build high end custom homes and perform large scale renovations in the Charleston area. Our client’s locations range south to Edisto, Kiawah, and Seabrook Island, north to Isle of Palms, Sullivan’s Island, and Dunes West. Deep porches with generously appointed finishes complement the substantial presence of our homes. Exterior finishes, enhanced by their surroundings, create a lasting appearance that will stand the test of time. We focus on custom architectural style homes that truly represent the owner’s desires and vision.
