Our Clients wanted an updated Kitchen and Bath in their original 18th century Colonial house, and other renovations throughout a 20th century addition, being tired with its rustic Farmhouse look. Low ceilings and cramped spaces typical of the period, (and a tight budget) were obvious challenges to overcome.

we converted a disused garage space into a gym and workshop, changing the overhead door into double doors that better fit the context. a fun feature inside is a wood-cord storage partition that divides the workshop from gym.
