The one-story contemporary overlooking a lake and bird sanctuary was a retirement dream - open spaces, expansive views and plenty of room to host grandchildren. While the location was ideal, the home needed help - especially the kitchen as it was dark and confining. Walls were removed and doorways expanded to ensure the kitchen would be the center of activity. The dining table was placed in front of the window and a skylight added bringing in sunlight. We offered our clients practical solutions for storage and space planning. Specific items needed to be accessible and handy to suit their lifestyle. Based on their valued input, we added tall pull-out pantry units and cabinets with “hidden” drawers. Storage was strategically positioned for easy drop off and pick up as our clients came and went. Dark-stained cherry cabinets and light quartz countertops provided the sharp contemporary contrast favored by our homeowners. After much collaboration, discussion, and careful planning, they are enjoying their remodeled home and kitchen where we know they will create lasting memories in their lakeside retirement retreat.

Beautiful home we designed for a woman moving into town to be with family. It's her retirement home, but no small space! It has a great open floor plan concept with super conversational spaces and a sunny all-seasons-room on the rear. Filled with a happy and welcoming color pallet, everything designed (with later in life handicap accessibility) makes the flow superb even now.

This EPIC Retirement Home Waterfall Project included installation of Pondless waterfall, and boulder retaining wall in the courtyard at Willow Valley Retirement Communities in Willow Street, PA. We began the project by removing a improperly installed block retaining wall (built by another contractor) as well as removal of some trees and shrubs throughout the courtyard. We then installed the new boulder retaining wall and Pondless Waterfall as well as new concrete pads for benches for the residence viewing pleasure of this amazing feature.

The General Contractor did a lovely job customizing the elevator cab with white craftsman style paneling to make this home elevator cab appear more spacious and as if it was made specifically designed for this new home.
