Senior Cottage The Senior Cottage was a community project for the Frederick County Housing Trust along with Frederick County Building Industry Association. Students from Frederick County Public Schools Career and Technology Center constructed this cottage to create awareness for the need for skilled trades and showcase the cottage as an option for senior housing. We were honored to be a part of the team and lend my skill as a designer to this project.

Penza Bailey Architects was contacted to update the main house to suit the next generation of owners, and also expand and renovate the guest apartment. The renovations included a new mudroom and playroom to accommodate the couple and their three very active boys, creating workstations for the boys’ various activities, and renovating several bathrooms. The awkwardly tall vaulted ceilings in the existing great room and dining room were scaled down with lowered tray ceilings, and a new fireplace focal point wall was incorporated in the great room. In addition to the renovations to the focal point of the home, the Owner’s pride and joy includes the new billiard room, transformed from an underutilized living room. The main feature is a full wall of custom cabinetry that hides an electronically secure liquor display that rises out of the cabinet at the push of an iPhone button. In an unexpected request, a new grilling area was designed to accommodate the owner’s gas grill, charcoal grill and smoker for more cooking and entertaining options. This home is definitely ready to accommodate a new generation of hosting social gatherings. Mitch Allen Photography

Burnt Orange with purple! Great combination for this college student's personal bedroom. She loves New York and we started with this particular peice of art! Adding the color to the walls and the bedding fabrics to make the whole room come together perfectly.

2013 marks the third year we’ve helped our shop-owner friends in Gastown get ready for the holidays in style: We design installations for their shops and they pay only the cost of materials. This year 40 volunteers helped bring the concepts to life – fellow designers, design students and a handful of people who just love to decorate for the holidays. To pass on the love a little further shoppers could enter to win win their own bit of Gastown – a 24″ birch bark and copper wreath.
