Sprucing up the exterior of this center hall colonial!
This project has a new primary suite addition over the garage and a new kitchen towards the rear. The kitchen is adjacent to a new octagonal banquet that faces the backyard pool! We even worked up a separate entry for guests to use the half bath on the first floor from the pool area!
The exterior of the home now has aesthetic enhancements like a front portico, three dog house dormers, and a new cupola- our favorite!

A fun site visit seeing @dstandard_home ‘s progress on our new build in Upper Saddle River!
This project is nearing completion and we are happy we have seen it in all ages and stages! Here are a few glimpses!

Not much this home is missing! A stunning retreat for a couple who deserves it! The entire first floor is accessible for aging in place while the second floor will be for the kids and future guests!
The goal was to be able to walk out to the backyard and pool from the first floor but also get the walk out from the basement. We worked on a terracing approach and intentional hardscape to get there!
We are tremendously excited about this project and what is to come! Swipe to see the timeless front exterior and some more views of the back!

Add a level with an insane transformation to create a gambrel style home in beautiful Bergen County! We have worked hard to create a plan that allows for these charming rooflines and it has resulted in a beautiful exterior!
Swipe to see the front and back of this home - existing and new!

Corner properties can be challenging in the eyes of zoning!
But the benefit, as an architect, is that we can really bring beauty to every facade and elevation of the home!
From the street, you really get a glimpse of all corners of this home and we are so happy that she has shines from all angles!

Working on a really awesome transformation with one of our favorite clients to date! Take a look at this before and after as we rework key elements to the facade to give a whole new look to this existing structure!
On a neighborhood that has many homes with the same exterior, we got a chance to revamp this one for amazing curb appeal!
The first and second floor will have a large addition and completely new layout!
We are excited to bring this out the door in the coming weeks and seeing the interior brought to life by @asloandesign at the same time!

Really excited about this project! We were selected to help design a new 3 bay garage for @franklin_lakes_fire_department to house their antique fire trucks!
They have called this their Fireman Fields Project. Their existing garage is starting to show its age and becoming more of a life safety issue.
Our new design will be able to hold various size trucks and even have a little area to host outdoor events with outdoor seating on a covered patio.
The new structure will be holding antique fire trucks dating back to 1926 and 1943!
There are some really cool back stories about the histories of the trucks on the fire department’s website! We are honored to be included in the history!

Not meant to be in front of the camera but this home can speak for itself!
A beautiful collaboration with our builder and designer and stager. This new build has ALL of the amenities and became a precedent of what good design can become.
It helps to have a great team but without a great client, none of it is possible.
We hope to show off more of this home that we are SO proud of!

Bi-level be gone!
Working out a whole new first floor layout by taking away the bi level stairs upon entry and creating a new stair tower to get from floor to floor.
We moved the front door and the two story “porch” from the existing facade to create something up to date and more quaint!
By creating the new porch and stair tower, we are masking the front cantilever without breaking the bank.
The rear is a whole new addition. Our client wanted to integrate with their awesome backyard and maximize the daylight.
We love this transformation!! What do you think!?

How to:
Take advantage of an octagonal room on all three levels of your home!
Not only does this shape make your exterior extremely appealing, it provides creativity on the interior to make a real statement!

First Floor: Breakfast Table
Second Floor: Primary Bath - Soaking tub location.

A new construction build for a transitional modern home! Mixing materials was our clients goal, giving interest around every corner.
This home will be flooded with daylight especially through the stair tower and double height vaulted living room!
We are excited to get this one out the door! We have had a great collaboration on the interior design with @purpose__studio !

Taking you on a ride to see some progress at Project Ski Trail.
This is my first voice over so bear with me!!
Updates on kitchen, primary bath, half bath and living room space, all of which are going to be light out stunning!

Circling back! To a transformation we’ve been swooning over! We took a spin on the split level by changing the entry from the ground level to the first floor.
That way, you can really get that first floor feel upon entry. Above that, we have a whole new primary suite!
We loved the collaboration with our clients on this project and their trust with our creativity. They said they would have never envisioned the gambrel roof but once we gave them the option, it was a clear winner!
The roofline masks the fact that there are really 4 different levels to this house! And it can keep some of the existing character too.
Swipe for the before!

A few of views of our new construction home!
We worked many variations of forms and colors to perfect this young couple’s dream home!
We planned for the now and the future by leaving unfinished space above the ✨4 car garage ✨ that can be finished in the future.
One request was to have two bays to be over 30’ long for their trucks and equipment. We didn’t want this to be an eye sore by sticking out too far into the driveway. By playing with the rooflines and proportions, we divided the bays accordingly and we think it fits seamlessly! “No one will ever know”.
This home checks off all the boxes for new home wants and needs and we are so excited for construction to start!

On Thursday, we had a unanimous vote for zoning board approval on this add a level! The town has previously reviewed this project and wanted our addition to be stepped in on the right side of the house. Although this was tricky architecturally, we were able to provide our client an additional 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms efficiently on that second floor.
We were nervous the request could make the addition look funky but after tedious design consideration, we fell in love with this timeless design. The board was nothing but complimentary which was a gift to 1 Line bur even more for my clients!
We are so happy to move forward with our last phase of construction drawings and have this project on its way to construction! We are equally as happy to have a dream client on this project who has been so supportive, patient, and appreciative throughout the whole design process. It always pays off!
Swipe for some before and after of this front elevation!

We couldn’t take enough angles of this staircase! The way it allows for the sunlight to come through each tread, the open riser, the contrast between the tread and the stringer, it really is an architectural chefs kiss!
The stair is one of our most prized possessions in a floor plan! When the location can be against an outside wall, we try to pop in windows since it can carry daylight from floor to floor. Look how bright this whole stairwell is from floors 1 to 3!
