About the projects
Award winning project - Addition over $200k
This sleek modern ranch needed more room and a new updated kitchen for this busy family of five. The addition was designed to stay true to the original style and construction of the house while improving the flow and function of the home. The opposing roof lines and unique window placement match the charm of the original space while the new mudroom, great room and updated kitchen provide exactly what the clients were looking for.
Award winning project - Residential Basement
The basement has been transformed from an empty storage space into a beautiful living area offering a thoughtful and comfortable design.
Custom window wells, media center, radiant heat, maple flooring and full kitchen created space for gathering family and friends or just relaxing in peace. Truly a space that will continue to entertain for generations.
