Concord, MA

The Jennie Dugan Residence started off life with having two outdated full bathrooms on the first floor and the laundry residing in the basement. The layout and functionality did not meet the needs for the current home owners. Our team envisioned the spaces to become more inviting to the occupants and functional for day to day use.

By introducing a sleek new powder room and functional first floor laundry closet to a stunning guest bath oasis, this renovation is all about elevated style and functionality.

Newton, MA

The Otis Residence which was once a thriving Pre- Victorian home for its era was now a house that seemed stuck in a web of disconnected rooms. The new homeowners wanted to create a space that left their guests in awe while feeling comfortable for them to use on a daily basis.

The design team accepted the challenge of creating a unique and jaw dropping space from the moment one enters the house. By relocating the old narrow staircase from the front of the house to the rear, the new foyer was able to become the focal point. A barrel vault ceiling accompanied with custom fluted plaster walls invites the occupant to want to explore the home in further detail.

Reconfiguring the flow from the front to the rear of the house optimized the circulation as well as provided the chance of creating an inviting and connected dining, kitchen, and family room. New spaces such as a mudroom and full bath were able to be introduced because of the creative new layout of the house.

The Oldfield Residence is a unique project which involved working with two sets of clients planning to live under one roof. The goal for this residence was to create an in-law suite, which provided it own living space separate from the main house. Additionally, the existing primary suite needed to be reimagined and updated.

The design team helped overcome several hurdles which the client was facing prior to starting the project. We proposed innovative design solutions which appealed to both the homeowners and the town council.

The end product is the perfect harmony between retro and modern finishes, while also providing privacy and openness.

Newton, MA

The Watertown Residence had been stuck in a 80’ time capsule with room for plenty of improvements. The new homeowner had been passed down this condominium by a late family member and wanted to make sure they honored them by breathing new life into a precious space.

The design team brought the house into the 21th century by implying an open first floor plan. What was once three individual spaces with defined thresholds now welcomes the idea of being a space for entertaining.

The second floor received a rejuvenated bathroom with bright and bold finishes. While the primary bedroom go reconfigured to allow for more storage and space for introducing a spiral staircase.

Spiraling up to the third floor, which was once only accessible by a pull down attic ladder to an unfinished space, now unveils itself to being a wonderful home office.

Douglas, MA

The Yew Residence has gone through many updates over the past several years, but the kitchen was left in its original state, until now.

Weston, MA

The Bittersweet Residence’s main house is a colonial statement piece and the new pool house needed to be nothing short of that. The design was focused around connecting the indoors with the outdoors to create an optimal entertainment space.

With a family which consists of many energetic kids, the homeowner’s envisioned a space where youth and adulthood could coexist without interfering with one another. The solution was to implement an expansive bi-folding patio door which could blur the lines yet keep the threshold between the spaces when occupied. Bright and airy finishes within the space allow for a fairly sized living/ kitchen area to feel cozy and inviting when needed.

Natick, MA

The Countryside Residence has received many updates over the past few years, but unfortunately the bathrooms had been left behind because of the limited seen possibilities.

The design team took on the challenge of converting two underutilized and outdated bathrooms and reimagined them into eclectic spaces that do not shy away from being bold and vibrant.

Though darker shades of wallpaper were used, the spaces feel larger than before. This is due to the relocation of the demising wall between the guest and primary bath along with the use of proper artificial lighting. Reimagining cramped spaces with bold design allowed the bathrooms to feel larger than life.

Burlington, MA

The Spruce Hill Residence, originally built as a colonial style home in 1959 had started falling shot of space for a growing family.

What was once a cramped first floor kitchen, powder room, and dining area was revamped as a custom space to entertain. We built an efficient, combined mudroom and laundry room for this growing family of four to meet the need for a dedicated drop zone. Adjacent to the mudroom, we designed a rustic/ modern powder room.

As growing family, the young parents also desired an oasis which they could escape to. Our team delivered this by creating a primary suite addition over the existing east wing of the house. The style of the addition and interior of the space were meant to speak the language of the existing house but in new fashion.

The geometric theme carried into the bright/ airy primary bathroom where a spacious shower and vanity presented itself.

Dedham, MA

The Boulevard Residence, originally built in 1938 received several renovations over the decades but none solved the issue of the disconnected kitchen and odd location for a first floor bath.

Dorchester, MA

The residence originally built in 1900, was a colonial home with dated powder room and an inefficient first floor layout. Old pine plank floors had all the character without the practicality. Limited visual access to the manicured backyard made the kitchen area feel closed off.

Our design team took on the challenge to create a space that spoke to the classic roots of the house while bringing a fresh look to the powder room and kitchen area. A bright new barn door greets guest as soon as they enter the house. This door leads to the new powder room where the existing wood floors was reclaimed as the accent wall in the powder room. An interesting pattern on the floor compliments an over neutral pallet.

Moving into the kitchen, one now has an unobstructed view of the backyard through the large full lite door. A perfect place for the client’s dog to take an afternoon nap while guarding his snacks stored on the custom wood shelves.

The Abrar residence, originally built in 1989, is a colonial style home with an underutilized basement. The newly wed client wished to create an escape for themselves while staying close to the family.

Our design team took it upon themselves to create a unique modern Moroccan inspired oasis for the couple. Keeping the color palette bright and airy was essential to the project. Warm wood tones and natural stones were introduced to create a spa like environment in what was once a dark cellar.

The existing basment was reconfigured to create space for a master bedroom, a graciously sized walk in closet, a master bathroom fit to be in a spa, a seating area, a work station nestled underneath the new modern oak stairs/ bookshelf, and finally a laundry/ storage area.

Custom barn doors were crafted with the client’s names carved out in Arabic calligraphy. These doors marked where form and function came together along with the client’s love for each other did too.

The powder room off of the kitchen was updated also with a custom built Poplar wood sink vanity.

Framingham, MA

The Highgate residence, originally built in 1960, is a split level home which truly lived up to its style. The existing house

having been previously renovated in the 1990s had carved up the kitchen, dining, and family room creating awkward circulation and dated finishes. Layers of greasy linoleum tile and peeling wallpaper were scattered throughout the spaces. Both artificial and natural lighting were scarce, causing a claustrophobic atmosphere.

The gut renovation aimed to bring a vibrant yet minimalist vibe to the space. Flow restrictive walls between the family room, kitchen and dining room were removed to allow for natural light to flood the space. Materials such as large subway tile and painted mosaic tile were introduced to the kitchen and family room fireplace to tie the two spaces together. Existing wood floors were restored to their former glory with a rich chestnut stain. The walls received a fresh coat of minimalist white paint to serve as the canvas for the deep blue kitchen cabinets. Brass accents were subtlety placed throughout the three spaces to allow for a visual connection.

Ease in design and uniqueness in materials were vital to this renovation.

We created frosted glass barn doors to allow the light to filter into the living area while keeping in mind that the kid's clutter needs privacy sometimes. Inside the room the kids are welcomed with individual colorful lockers which also serve as a reading bench, a plethora books, and custom chalkboard to draw out their dreams.
