This house for a family with four kids needed a mudroom which would be practical, but also provide a sense of celebration of entry. The front door, though beautiful, is rarely used, and we wanted to capture some of its flavor in the door the family uses every day. The mudroom provides a coat closet, cubbies and a bench for putting on and taking off shoes and boots. It is also a lovely transitional space between inside and outside with a lancet window which frames a view of a tree.
A built-in dining nook with a corner curio cabinet was installed in the kitchen.
We also designed custom desks for the children, incorporating storage and practical work space for young scholars!

We worked closely with the owner, the editor of a local Foodie magazine, to develop a functional and beautiful small space for this gourmet chef.

Making the most of the existing house, we added a deck to expand the entertaining potential of the new open kitchen/dining space. A custom tv and sound system cabinet was tucked into the sunporch, and the home was ready for action!

An extensive exterior renovation including the addition of a wrap-around porch and terraces stepping down to a new pool gave this family beautiful and functional entertaining spaces which frame a stunning view of the Mount Hope bridge.
