Steve and Elissa had already faithfully restored their 18th-century main house in Weston and now wanted to add some fun to the property. They chose to build a new timber-framed barn on the site of their old barn... only this one was made for kids and sleepovers, instead of hay and horses.
The new owners of this distinct historic property in Brookline, MA had an urgent request. They needed the carriage house quickly gutted and renovated to make it livable for them for a year or two while the design and renovation of the adjacent main house were carried out. We got it done.
Our clients owned a really unique “Carpenter Gothic” style home in the suburbs south of Boston. They loved its fantastic architectural details. The problem was that it was much too small for their family. They asked us to build an addition that would blend seamlessly with the original.
We carried out extensive structural repairs and updated all of the systems in this 19th century house with minimal impact to its historic character. The addition was carefully detailed to match the main house, right down to the custom reproduction window sash.
This 1882 Cambridge Queen Anne was a prime candidate for a historic restoration. While it had fallen into disrepair, evidence of its former glory remained: a stunning foyer staircase, original oak trim & paneling and inlaid wood flooring. We worked with Frank Shirley Architects to breathe new life to the tired space.
Our clients own an impressive ca. 1890 Shingle Style home just south of Boston. They had hired a contractor to do some interior renovations but were not pleased with the experience. They knew that the exterior needed a firm with extensive renovation and restoration experience so when they found us, they were thrilled.
Old house renovations are a balancing act, a constant tension between preserving the elements that make the building special while making it work for a modern family. Nowhere is this process more evident than in this kitchen, which went from old, dark, and inhospitable to bright, spacious, and tailored to family needs.
