It’s been a minute since we had a before and after (after and before). This one is for the books!!
After exploring iterations on how we can enhance this curb appeal, we landed on this gorgeous gambrel STUNNER. No more double height McMansion entry!
The idea is to lessen the two story flat facade by bringing down rooflines and adding flared gambrel roofs lines to better proportion this structure. We created a new front porch with a turret and fun cupola accents to achieve all the character this size home deserves!
What do we think!?

So happy getting a walk through of our lake house project last week! With less than a 700 SF footprint, this home is as efficient as it gets!
We loved getting all of the details from @skylineconstruction_ and love how much he cares about every aspect of his project. He is full of information and building science and it’s always fun to hear and learn from him.
Swipe to see the best front door color choice from @thermatrudoors ! It even has an operable sidelight!

We have been blessed with such a warm fall! This finished attic loft takes in every bit of it. With windows on all sides, you are able to get amazing views of the lake and the tops of the surrounding trees.
We were so excited to check out the final stages of this home and swoon over how picturesque this room is! We couldn’t get enough of the daylight, finishes, and architectural interest the rooflines bring!
We are so happy with this project and know how many good times will be held at this lake house retreat! Can’t wait to show you more!

We are excited with the design phase of this “work in progress”.
An existing farmhouse is located on this 5 acre site. The goal was a major addition and renovation to modernize the flow and home. Since this house has so much land, every facade is important.
The client wanted a bridge to connect to the existing garage and build a new lounge space and exercise room above.
We love the fact that our client isn’t afraid of a dark exterior. A nice change of pace from the black and white modern farmhouse we are used to seeing!

This week we had the opportunity to walk through our plans with our client on their new project.
We do all of our plans in 3D to help get an idea of the flow of the house. We put in furniture in our plans to help get an idea of scale.
But @lifesizeplans_usa has brought “walking through a plan” to another level by projecting our plan at full scale!
We were so appreciative our client asked us to come for this experience! What a treat! They were able to see if they were comfortable with the size of each room as we walked through the same way they will walk through once this is built!
They have furniture and fixtures on wheels so that you can move them room to room to get an even better feel for the space!
Technology impresses me more and more each day! We are excited to elevate the design experience and have @lifesizeplans_usa to offer to our clients!

Gearing up for next years lake vibe with this quaint masterpiece! We had a fun collaboration between a bunch of architects to come up with a cohesive design for the lake front home.
It’s not often our profession shares and collaborates so it was fun to gather opinions and create something unique together. The architecture profession can shape so differently depending on your work experience so when every one comes to the table, you really can test the limit of design and functionality.
A long time coming! But she’s finally heading out the door and we are excited to see it come to life!
This home is perfect to nestle and enjoy the lake views alone or with a full house. We have views maximized on all levels with some great interior elements like a floating stair and a balcony over living space.

There is no view that I don’t like of this curved staircase!
We are so thankful our clients trusted us with our intentions of this stair! Since it’s tucked right off the entryway, it opens up the floor plan, making the flow of their foyer flow into various areas of their house!
Take note on how well the windows flood the space with daylight! Thanks to the delicate curve and structural stringer, we are able to appreciate this stair from the inside and out even if installation was a bit rough! 🥴

New construction with a monochromatic color scheme that brings in wood tones to warm up the black and white contrast!
Simple gable forms that hold a lot of program. We like how the rooflines cuts across the two floors to help the structure feel quaint but still get full height on all floors.
We have been adding a human scale to some of our projects to really help understand the size of these spaces!

Who are we kidding?! This is not a small space.
This is probably one of the biggest laundry rooms we have done to date. But the small space - big impact we are referencing is the pull out dryer racks!
This is such a clever idea that you could really use in all sizes laundry rooms. You can tuck them in a linear space and the height could be modified to your preference.
This laundry room is a show stopper and ended up being one of our favorite rooms in the house! Perhaps, laundry is a little less painful in a room equipped like this!
Who else is wants to incorporate this in their laundry room??

Grateful to work on a house with a property like this! Working in tandem with these clients has also been a dream process. In a market that is tempting to sell, you can still find so much value in staying put, but with a new perspective in the design of your home.
We got to create new, beautiful spaces to house that has so many unique features. But the main concern was to solve many roofline issues associated with the existing roof, which was creating a leaking nightmare!
We are thrilled to see a functional design and happy our client is on their way to a more maintenance free home!
Shovel is in the ground!
Swipe for a glimpse of the property!

The entrance to our modern mountain house! This is the way the house greets you as you enter. Once through the foyer, you can see the vast views of mountain ranges through the back of the house.
Since the back of the house is 3 stories, we kept the front of the house more quaint by bringing down 1 story rooflines and keeping grade close to the first floor.
We love the bold materials and custom woodwork this exterior brings. Oh, and of course the stair behind the glads. We are excited to see this come out of the ground!

A beautiful transformation expanding out the back of this classic home.
The facade went from a flat plane to various depths. The new spaces inside have advanced the functionality and flow for a busy family.
And when I tell you the interior design is jaw dropping, it really really is! I can’t wait to show you what our clients and @whimsyinteriordesign have created.
This backyard became a great oasis with the addition of a covered space and a new outdoor fireplace! @clclandscapedesign somehow got the snow to melt and created a landscaped paradise!

Incredible progress as our lake front cottage takes on a new look!
We had to stay within the existing footprint of this home. The design process forced us to be efficient with every inch of the house, maximizing 690 SF of floor area. We walked through last week and the spaces feel amazing!
Our best space saver is a switch back stair that takes you from the first to the third story loft!
All important rooms maintained views of the lake and daylight floods the whole home.
Happy architects over here :)
And great work by @skylineconstruction_

We always feel the mudroom is a key space for any type of family. It’s function is tremendous. This custom designed millwork holds storage for a busy family!
It really checks all of the boxes:
- enclosed lockers to hide away coats, shoes, activewear
-vented storage to allow the cubbies to breathe
-hooks
-bench
-shoe cubbies
-drawers for seasonal clothing
-bold colors and warm woods
But the best of all is the unique hidden door! The panel opens by press and release and it opens to an area for mail storage, keys, important paperwork etc! What a cool idea to make use of an end panel!
Talk 👏about 👏 goals!

Montana meets Windham NY.
Follow along some exterior renderings of this stately mountain home that has views to both Windham and Hunter Mountain.
We specifically shaped the house to take advantage of all the views the property has to offer.
The intricate detailing in the wood trusses and brackets along with the natural siding, combines for the warmest welcome.

Creating gable ends to this farmhouse nestled on a multi acre site!
This right side addition encompasses a vaulted great room that opens up to a vaulted outdoor space for indoor outdoor living!
By playing with a new roofline we can create two reverse gables that make this addition seamless with the existing house, never questioning if it were an addition!

A glimpse into our completed sunroom make over at our Seaside Park rental!
Thrilled with the outcome of this look creating a costal yet vintage aesthetic.
We worked tirelessly over the winter to transform these spaces and I would never be able to show off without the work of my dad and husband!
An extra special thanks to @sharoncotugno for sourcing and her decorative knowledge to pull the space together!

Awoke to flurries this morning!!! Can we fast forward to warmer weather?!
Day dreaming of this backyard oasis capitalizing on all outdoor entertainment.
We love that this client trusted us to blend their home with indoor outdoor living.
Besides second floor bedrooms, the first floor has the kitchen, an eat in breakfast nook, their living room, and a private office, all facing this backyard view.
Counting down to warmer months!

No more split level!
This can be tricky depending on zoning requirements and number of steps to each existing level. It cannot always be achieved but this project worked in our favor!
We have two harmonious first and second floors and we’re able to keep the garage as is. Careful planning can lead to great transformations!
We are very excited about this build and the bold dark exterior!
