Gardenhouse

Providence, RI

This project almost doubled the living space, both indoor and outdoor, for a growing family. The 1860’s cross-plan house sat on a double lot which had a large parking lot covering much of the property. We added space to the kitchen, which now opens out to a patio. A two-story addition has a library, office and new master suite overlooking the new garden.

Family Entry/Mud Room/Cabinetry

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!

Cook’s Kitchen

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!

Water House

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.
