Looking at this home today, you would never know that the project began as a poorly maintained duplex. Luckily, the homeowners saw past the worn façade and engaged our team to uncover and update the Victorian gem that lay underneath. Taking special care to preserve the historical integrity of the 100-year-old floor plan, we returned the home back to its original glory as a grand, single family home. The project included many renovations, both small and large, including the addition of a a wraparound porch to bring the façade closer to the street, a gable with custom scrollwork to accent the new front door, and a more substantial balustrade. Windows were added to bring in more light and some interior walls were removed to open up the public spaces to accommodate the family’s lifestyle.

This photo by Peter Lik is called "Tree of Life". It was the inspiration for the design of the fireplace. The double sided ribbon fireplace was a great way to combine the two units together to make them feel like one space. This fireplace is 20' tall. The hearth is made from concrete and appears to be floating. We cantilevered between the two units to support the weight of the concrete. Both fireplaces have the same hearth. The artwork is not only illuminated from the front, but we also installed LED lights around the sides that provide a rich warm glow at night. Artist Peter Lik Photo courtesy of Fred Lassman

This custom home is derived from Chinese symbolism. The color red symbolizes luck, happiness and joy in the Chinese culture. The number 8 is the most prosperous number in Chinese culture. A custom 8 branch tree is showcased on an island in the pool and a red wall serves as the background for this piece of art. The home was designed in a L-shape to take advantage of the lake view from all areas of the home. The open floor plan features indoor/outdoor living with a generous lanai, three balconies and sliding glass walls that transform the home into a single indoor/outdoor space.

This photo by Peter Lik is called "Seventh Wonder". We opened up between the two units with an oversized 9' tall doorway. The double sided ribbon fireplace was a great way to combine the two units together to make them feel like one space. We kept the fireplace on this side of the unit shorter. This way, the owner can change out his artwork if he would chose to a later time. The hearth is made from concrete and appears to be floating. We cantilevered between the two units to support the weight of the concrete. Both fireplaces have the same hearth. The artwork is illuminated from the front.
