Closet Addition Nearing Completion.

The closet addition to our previous mudroom project is almost complete. The closet system went in today. This project filled in an unused porch area located above a mudroom addition we designed a few years ago. The owner wanted the new addition to be modern and sleek and stand out from the existing house. Dark stained cedar siding ties the new portion into the previous addition. We ended up removing and replacing some of the lower siding with the dark boards as well to pull it all together. More pics to come (without the large van). Once fall hits, the new facade will be very visible as it is currently veiled by foliage. 

Mostly veiled by foliage, the new cedar infill sits above the mudroom we designed a few years ago. Fall will bring a much more visible facade exposing the two windows. The East window serves the closet while a North facing window is over a small desk area off the master bedroom.  

The vertical wall flanking the doors entry was changed to the cedar to help tie the two floors together. 

The main conceptual idea behind the design was to carve the corner of the building out to represent a response from the noisy school nearby.  

The view from the driveway approach. The narrow trim around the new window provides a small shadow line around the new widow. The windows on the second floor of the addition relate to those below.

Adler Barry Remodel

A few new pics of this remodel. We'll soon move into the furniture selection phase of the project. The bathrooms are completed. In the hall bathroom we removed the soffit above the mirror and created a smaller soffit for the medicine cabinet. A custom walnut medicine cabinet has two mirrors a glass shelves in between (glass to be installed). An awkward storage cabinet was removed and a large new shower created.  The floor is covered with Bronze penny tiles that look rich and appropriate with the scale of the room. The tub was removed in the Master bathroom and replaced with a new large roll-in shower. Crown moulding, new lighting and a custom vanity make the new space elegant yet simple.

Piggy-Back House Remodel

We're well underway what we're now calling the "Piggy Back" House.  This late 19th century balloon frame house has been changed, gutted and renovated over time. The original footprint remains with a newer addition "piggybacked" over the top of the roof and walls. We even uncovered the original siding and windows inside an interior wall. It truly is a layered home which makes this renovation very special. The new owners have asked us to reconfigure the second floor and add a bedroom. The master suite will now be more efficient and elegant.  We've also completely re-structured the ceiling in the master suite area to both stabilize it and provide a dramatic space.
