The original English conservatories were designed and built in cooler European climates to provide a safe environment for tropical plants and to hold flower displays. By the end of the nineteenth century, Europeans were also using conservatories for social and living spaces. Following in this rich tradition, the New England conservatory is designed and engineered to provide a comfortable, year-round addition to the house, sometimes functioning as a space completely open to the main living area. Nestled in the heart of Martha’s Vineyard, the magnificent conservatory featured here blends perfectly into the owner’s country style colonial estate. The roof system has been constructed with solid mahogany and features a soft color-painted interior and a beautiful copper clad exterior. The exterior architectural eave line is carried seamlessly from the existing house and around the conservatory. The glass dormer roof establishes beautiful contrast with the main lean-to glass roof. Our construction allows for extraordinary light levels within the space, and the view of the pool and surrounding landscape from the Marvin French doors provides quite the scene. The interior is a rustic finish with brick walls and a stone patio floor. These elements combine to create a space which truly provides its owners with a year-round opportunity to enjoy New England’s scenic outdoors from the comfort of a traditional conservatory.

A whole home remodel—this 1950’s home needed it all! The plan was to keep a midcentury feel with a little more snap! Two new additions include a large, open family room with a fireplace and a luxury owner’s suite with a walk-in closet. We doubled the kitchen size and workspaces and finished with custom cabinets, quartz, and tile. We updated interior hardware, doors, trim, and millwork. All millworks and cabinetry was designed, built, finished, and installed by our own in-house millwork shop. The exterior also received a complete refresh with a stone front, unique door fronts, and new deck. Come check out the stunning colors and textures, too!

This new, ground-up home was recently built atop the Richmond Hills. Despite the beautiful site with its panoramic 270-degree view, the lot had been left undeveloped over the years due to its modest size and challenging approval issues. Saikley Architects handled the negotiations for County approvals, and worked closely with the owner-builder to create a 2,300 sq. ft., three bedroom, two-and-a-half bath family home that maximizes the site’s potential. The first-time owner-builder is a landscape builder by trade, and Saikley Architects coordinated closely with for him on this spec home. Saikley Architects provided building design details which the owner then carried through in many unique interior design and furniture design details throughout the house.

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.

The owner of this home had purchased an early 20th Century house that had been carved up into apartments and otherwise unsympathetically modified and added on to over the years. After careful review, it was determined that there was little value in the existing structure. A new design, based on the existing foundation, was created. The existing foundation was added onto, increasing the height of the basement to create useable space. The new three storey home, building off the owner’s theatre background, incorporates a double height living room, dramatic open riser stairs and abundant natural light. The finished house includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, open plan kitchen and dining space, walk out rear terrace and second level balcony. The third floor master retreat is tucked into the low slope roof, maintaining the character of the street; the industrial type cladding creates a contextual reinterpretation of the original community’s blue collar background. Featured in the Ottawa Citizen on several occasions including Glebe house tour.
