Discuss your projectCall the studioYour home, your priorities
Cedar Grove homeowners may be considering a larger kitchen, a new suite or more flexible living space. We help translate those goals into a brief that considers room locations, circulation and the relationship to the existing home.
Think about daily routines as well as room counts. Laundry placement, entry storage and the route between living areas can be as important as the size of an addition. Share the priorities that will make the biggest difference.

Selected work from across the studio's portfolio, illustrating approaches to renovation and expansion.
A beloved childhood ranch style home was reborn as a Prairie Style dream home with features that would allow the owners to age-in-place. A new vaulted Kitchen, Primary Bedroom Suite and Laundry/Mudroom were added to the living space. A new raised terrace was added to link the existing and new.

Smart additions and alterations brought new life to some incongruous past work. An expanded Kitchen connected to a new Mudroom and Garage. A new bright and airy link was established between the Kitchen and existing Family Room for better circulation. A new Second Floor primary suite was seamlessly integrated with a full bathroom.
