Missing Master Bath

This home had a typical two bedroom with a small bath in the middle. The problem was how to create a master bedroom suite while still allowing access to guests from the first floor. This is a typical situation we run into because we use our homes differently than we used to.

Cramped Kitchen

This kitchen was essentially cut off from the rest of the home. The client came to me with architecturally drawn plans and a great design. They were ready to tear some walls out and that is exactly what we did.

Major Addition

This “contributing” historic North End home was too small for the family. They came to me with the idea of adding to the back and going up, however historic guidelines required it to go down.

Triple the Size

Low Ceiling

Short Second Story

This home had a usable second story with a low ceiling and a tall roof. The clients were both tall, and were hopeful that we could elevate the ceiling without disrupting the roof.

Elevated Ceiling

Elevated Ceiling

We ended up elevating the ceiling on the entire second floor. We created an elegant living space and exposed the view of the valley. Other features included a large operable skylight, Spray foam insulation throughout, a separate high volume low pressure mini duct HVAC system and refinished hardwood floors. Read More
