A few past projects.

Simpson Renovation

  • After finding a house on a great street, it was time for this family to make it their own. They also needed some more space.

  • We started by adding a new garage with an upstairs office and bathroom. We removed the old deck, adding a cozy fireplace, screened in porch and grilling area, and made major exterior updates. Finally, we tackled the home’s interior, adding a new walkthrough pantry, reconfigured the master bathroom and laundry room, and so much more.

  • Now, this home has so much more than amazing curb appeal. Not only does it have a fresh style and flow, it fits their family’s busy life - pups included. (See: dog shower in garage, in-cabinet faucet for their water bowl.)

Tippah Garage

  • This family was a bit cramped, and explored many options for adding a bit more space. They came to the realization that their detached garage could be put to better use, and things took off from there.

  • We connected them with a designer to develop a plan to expand the existing one-story garage. With the plan in place, our clients said, “let’s blow the roof off” — and we did.

  • The upstairs of the garage now serves as a home office and guest suite, complete with washer/dryer, kitchenette and full bath. Downstairs, the garage, garden room, and toy closet are a better use of space than the original layout.

Florida Backyard Office

  • New baby on the way! But that meant Dad was losing his home office. We set this family up with a designer to plan for a standalone backyard office.

  • We were on a tight schedule to make sure things were in place before baby’s arrival, but wrapped the project just in time.

  • Dad’s loving his separate, quiet office, and the kids still have plenty of backyard play space.

Tippah New Build

  • This family lived next door, but couldn’t bear to leave the street and neighbors they loved. When they learned their friends next door planned to move to the beach and would be selling their fixer-upper, they jumped at the chance.

  • The original plan was to renovate, but zoning challenges changed the plan. We made a few minor tweaks to the plan — including reversing the layout — tore down the old, and began on the new.

  • From a 3br-1ba bungalow into a 4br-3ba classic. With two offices, a playroom, and a scullery, this family has plenty of space to live, work, and play.

Kensington Expansion

  • This family of three was soon to be four, and their amazing home needed a little more space. The downstairs had already been renovated, but upstairs there was space to grow.

  • We connected this family with an architect who developed a plan for growth that maintained a style that was organic to the original home. Construction took place during the rainiest winter on record, in the middle of a pandemic, and with a newborn — but otherwise it was seamless.

  • There’s room for everyone (plus guests and toys), beautiful hardwoods and fixtures, and plenty of natural light.
