Design

5/8/2017
My core belief is that existing buildings have history and design and those two things should always be considered in any new ideas. Meaning, I specialize in taking what is existing marrying it with what my clients envision and providing results which are both functional and appeasing. I provide full interior and exterior design services and partner with architectural, mechanical and structural consultants to offer a full range from idea concepts through rebuild. From as simple as color choices to a full gut and rebuild. If have a Chicago Bungalow, Grey/Brownstone, Row House, Four Square or a no-style that you want to reclaim, repurpose and rebuild; whatever your vision is, I will bring it to life.

  1. Wow I really enjoyed reading your blog posts on the process you experienced during this rehab. I relate to much of your philosophy and we share similar backgrounds. Great job on your project! In hindsight, is there anything you would do differently? Also, do you plan to add some type of enclosure on the deck? I was wondering why the posts are all so tall. Thanks and continued success on your next project.

  2. Hi Kevin, thanks for reading and enjoying my blog posts. To answer your question about the posts (wood posts, not social media posts…LOL) on the deck, I am not sure what I would do with them; hanging plants, attach frame to add canvas shades, etc. but since I am selling the house I will let the new owners decide what they want to do. When the carpenters were building the deck I caught them right at the point of cutting them off. I saw the possibilities and stopped them.
    As far as doing anything different … I would refine how I run the general contracting and material buying. As for design I would not change anything except add one more full height kitchen cabinet for brooms and vacuums.
