Whimsical Tudor

Retaining all the character of a 1923 whimsical Tudor while expanding to meet the needs of an active family of five.

This classic and timeless transformation strikes a beautiful balance between the charm of the existing home and the opportunities to realize something custom.

First, we reclaimed the attached one-car garage for a much-needed command central kitchen – organized in zones for cooking, dining, gathering, scheduling, homework, and entertaining. With a devotion to design, a stunning, custom, nickel Ann Morris pot rack was chosen as a focal point, appliances were concealed with painted, raised-panel cabinetry and finishes like white quartzite countertops, white fireclay sinks and dark stained floors added just the right amount of light and color.

Remodeling Luxury Spaces

Outside the bustle of the family space, the previous kitchen became a butler’s pantry and richly-paneled library for reading, relaxing, and enjoying cigars. The addition of a mudroom, family room, and a wonderful space we lovingly call “The Jewel Room” for its heightened luxurious detail, completed the perfect remodel – opening up new space for the busy children while providing comfortable respites for their happy parents.
