This section of front yard between the driveway and the property line is often a throw-away zone, a forgotten opportunity between neighbors. This garden serves as a meeting ground, as well as giving autonomy and a sense of ownership to one's turf. High plants screen from stark views of the neighbor, yet their charming cottage frames the view.

The rear corner of the house (near the kitchen) was reclaimed as a usable space for grilling and dining, which the homeowners desired. The narrow set of stairs was replaced with a wide and gracious staircase that allowed for gentler egress in two directions. The storm cellar entrance was fortified, and the cluster of utilities was concealed. The bluestone patio is spacious enough for a grill and table for six.

The homes in Heritage Hills in Chapel Hill, NC are representative of the popularity and explosive growth of American Home Ownership that occurred during the economic expansion that followed the end of WW II. They were designed and built to foster the benefits and sense of “community”, where families could come together and share theirs and their children’s lives. They are typically in very desirable locations within their larger communities, and remodeling them with modern amenities, increasing the performance and efficiency of them, and having them Green Certified (independent third-party verified) makes them extremely attractive to buyers, and helps to raise other property values within the neighborhood.
Green Certified Remodeled Homes offer significant value and advantage in the marketplace over similar homes in their area, which is especially important as a new, younger era of home buyers enter the market. Current trends suggest that younger (as well as many “seasoned”) homeowners are interested in smaller, more efficient (and thus affordable) homes situated closer to shopping, their work, entertainment opportunities, and access to the economic and environmental benefits of mass transit.
These older homes also offer an additional value that is continuing to gain visibility and appreciation in the market place. They were built from lumber from slower-growth trees (denser and harder wood), and as such offer superior structural support compared to the same home built using lumber from today’s faster-growing (softer and less-dense wood) trees.
Robin and Kent had lived in their 2-story Gambrel Roof home in Heritage Hills since 1994. The house was structurally sound, due in large part to the old-growth (and denser) yellow pine that was used in its framing. They loved the quiet neighborhood, its sense of community and amenities, and their home. It suited their life-style and needs; and they had decided that they would remain in the home. It was showing its age, and was in need of general repairs and maintenance, and its energy, water, and indoor air quality performance was continuing to increase their ongoing cost of ownership.
Robin loved the screen porch that looked out on their private and nicely landscaped back yard, but she wanted to be able to use it in the colder months of the year. She was unsatisfied with the kitchen and the mud room / laundry room, and the darkness of other living spaces. A previous water leak in the laundry room had resulted in a large patch of mold that had compromised flooring, wall board, and insulation and contributed to the homes reduced indoor air quality.
The home lacked insulation in the crawl, and inadequate insulation in the attic. The single HVAC unit had been replaced a few years earlier with a more efficient unit, but with a single programmable thermostat control on the first floor and aging and un-insulated ducting, the second floor was often over-heated in the summer months.
The original wood windows had begun to deteriorate and were drafty and inefficient, and the original wood-burning fireplace was an open conduit for escaping conditioned air as well as an inlet for wood-smoke smelling air being pulled into the home. The siding had been replaced a few years earlier with a cement-fiber product, but the exterior wood trim was compromised and beginning to look unsightly. Its original architecture had been altered over the years in ways that presented ongoing maintenance and durability issues, as well as disrupting the elegance of the original design.
Kent has worked for over 30 years in the Environmental Sciences field, and is considered to be a national expert in understanding the sources of, and human exposure to pollutants in indoor environments. He had always been very conscious and cautious about the effects on indoor air quality that the construction, furnishings, and products used in home had on him and his family.

When your family thrives on outdoor activities, living on the water is a bonus! The main house and pool house are all about the river views- from the windows expanding floor to ceiling and updated open floor plan, the project team capitalized on bringing a whole new light to this incredible property. Paying homage to the beautiful coastal town of Nantucket, our goal was to bring the love for the island’s classic aesthetic to our clients primary South Shore, MA residence.
It wasn’t long after our clients took ownership of the Gulf River property, did they want to change the dated interiors, divided floor plan and tired exterior elements at the main house and pool house. Architect, Hoadley Martinez and interior designer, Christine McGinty were charged with opening the space up to represent a coastal love all while bringing functionality to an active family lifestyle.
Our project timeline was nothing short of unique. The homeowners had twenty-three family members arriving on the 23rd of December to enjoy the holiday week. This is an annual traditional for the family so how could we let them down! Our shovel broke ground the first week of September, giving our team sixteen weeks to renovate multiple interior and exterior areas of a 5,500 square foot home. Multiple crews were strategically scheduled daily, keeping areas dedicated to the appropriate process all while keeping the project moving forward efficiently.
The existing cabinetry, appliances, moldings and flooring were removed and donated to a local charity. At the main house, working alongside Roomscapes Cabinetry & Design, we extended the existing footprint to include a 12 x 10 mudroom, raised the ceiling in the kitchen to incorporate a coffered ceiling, opened the existing walls up to incorporate a new pantry and sitting room. All mechanical infrastructure, plumbing, HVAC and electrical were updated. The floors throughout were replaced with an 8” Carlisle Wide Plank White Oak.
The exteriors shell was stripped down to the sheathing. We increased the size of multiple window openings to capitalize on the stunning coastal views. We used an Alaskan Yellow cedar shingles on both the roof and sidewall as the material properties weather to a beautiful silvery grey. The exterior trim profiles and scale was increased to bring more definition to the architectural elements. The finishing touch were custom copper gutters to add a little extra sparkle!
All these hurdles made the project team grow closer and committed to making this magic holiday gathering happen. You could say it was a Christmas miracle!
