Kitchen Remodeling
Bathroom Remodeling
Flooring
This new residence in the French Norman style is nestled into the landscape in a secluded setting near Philadelphia. The design of the exterior, featuring dark red hand-molded brick with terracotta accents, was inspired by vernacular architecture of the French countryside and organized around a walled garden courtyard with a flanking loggia. Interior spaces have an intimate scale and include custom-designed and finely-detailed woodwork with decorative plaster ceilings and quarter-sawn white oak flooring.
Door Installation/Replacement
This new residence, located on Philadelphiaâ€™s Main Line, was inspired by the quintessential character of the Cotswold area of England. It contains the massing and details of a traditional Cotswold residence, while reflecting the interpretation of prominent early-twentieth Philadelphia architects such as Mellor, Meigs and Howe. A park-like setting has been created as it is positioned in the center of an 8-acre property with mature trees and an open lawn. The house was constructed with local mica schist stone with hand-tooled Indiana limestone detailing. It features an entrance porch with a carved limestone portal, a gabled parapet, and decorative limestone finial. Other details include a French stone fountain within an intricately carved three-bay limestone loggia and a timber-framed porch facing the south lawn. The wood windows were fabricated with lead cames, and the doors and windows are trimmed with carved limestone. The roof is clad with English-style terra cotta tiles and the chimneys continue the balanced juxtaposition of schist and limestone. The interior has abundant light throughout, with stunning views of the landscape, and custom designed millwork and plasterwork elements inspired by English precedent. The hardwood floors were fabricated from large white and red oak trees from the property, and the natural finish millwork was executed in quarter-sawn white oak and butternut. A custom mural, with whimsical scenes of Fairmount Park in Philadelphia, has been hand-painted in the dining room.
Tile Installation
Fireplaces
This new rooftop terrace provides a fine mid-nineteenth century center-city house with a dramatic perspective of the Philadelphia skyline. The grand central staircase extends to the roof and is capped with a contemporary glass and metal pavilion which introduces a shaft of natural light through the floors below. The terrace affords a balance of privacy and open views, while creating an intimate space, with a kitchen and fireplace, for both smaller and larger gatherings.
Cabinet Installation

Room Additions
Designed in the 1930â€™s by Philadelphia architect Walter Durham, this handsome Federal Revival residence was restored and expanded to provide a new kitchen, family room addition, master bedroom suite, wine cellar, exercise room, garden terraces and updated systems throughout. Significant original features were preserved while creating an elegant and inviting contemporary living environment.
New Construction
Our clients share our commitment to thoughtfully-designed and finely-crafted residential environments, employing a traditional vocabulary while recognizing the requirements of contemporary family life. The firmâ€™s projects involve new construction as well as the renovation of significant existing buildings, and are located in wide variety of urban and rural settings. We pride ourselves on our collaborative approach with clients and all participants of the design and construction process.

Window Installation/Replacement
This new Shingle-style residence occupies a unique position on the New Jersey shore to which our clients had been drawn many years earlier. The site of their new house has expansive sandy beaches on two sides and spectacular views to the north, east and south. In keeping with the traditional Shingle-style vernacular architecture of the mid-Atlantic coast, we created a home that takes advantage of the siteâ€™s unique features, while also maintaining traditional Shingle-style details and proportions. The faÃ§ade features two-toned cedar shingles, painted brackets and paneling and a Vermont-slate roof. The second and first floors feature flared shingle facades that mimic traditional Shingle-style homes of the region. Exterior windows and doors are maximized to allow for sweeping interior views of the ocean beyond. The plan is oriented with the second floor serving as the primary level to allow for better views of the ocean, with the first and third floors serving secondary spaces. Throughout the house, interior millwork is detailed in keeping with the Shingle-style and features beaded board patterned ceilings, full height paneled walls and numerous built-in cabinets and benches.
Siding
Designed by architect Frank Furness as the gate house for a large estate near Philadelphia, this diminutive stone building was restored and expanded to serve as a residence for an active family. The new addition, complimentary and in scale and detail to the original building, is clad in horizontal wood siding with a slate roof. The interiors are contemporary in concept and execution, creating a refreshing contrast to the more staid nineteenth century manner of the original gate house.

Masonry
Our firm is currently undertaking an exterior envelope restoration of the Sandy Hook Lighthouse for the National Park Service. The work includes window restoration, masonry repair and repainting, ventilation improvements, roof restoration and the repair of the original stone watch deck. The Sandy Hook Lighthouse is the oldest standing lighthouse and the oldest operating lighthouse in the United States. First lit in 1764, its thick walls protected it from cannonball fire during the Revolutionary War. The National Historic Landmark structure, located on the New Jersey coast, is the only surviving lighthouse of the 11 lighthouses built in the thirteen colonies during the colonial period from 1716-1771.
