Winning Remodeling Projects:
A Kitchen with a View
Category: Residential Kitchen $100,001 to $150,000
A micro-addition and new layout turns 1980’s cramped kitchen into bright, light-filled collaborative kitchen space.
The cramped, isolated kitchen in this 1980’s era home did not fit our clients’ lifestyle nor take advantage of the beautiful views of the nearby pond and woods. They longed for a functional yet fabulous space to support collaborative cooking and family gatherings. A micro-addition facilitated a new layout that both opened to and enlivened their existing living and dining spaces. A bold tri-color palette along with pro-level appliances and impeccable finish detailing gives them everything they desired and more. They are so grateful for the meticulous craftsmanship and thrilled with the final result.

Bug-Free Bliss
Category: Residential Exterior under $50,000
Reimagined back yard turned into family-favorite space for enjoying nature’s beauty in comfort.
A busy family dreamed of a space to enjoy fresh air while reading, eating, or entertaining friends. Removing the rotting pergola while retaining the limestone column plinths and bluestone terrace was the starting point of creating this cozy screened-in oasis. The existing stone base is topped with 3-layers – a paneled wall base, custom-sized screens, and classically-detailed flat roof. Incorporating the existing into the new presented many construction challenges but creative planning of openings, circulation, and the roof structure used these constraints as assets in the final composition. This porch has become a family-favorite for enjoying nature’s beauty in bug-free bliss.
