Architecture + Design
Before we pick up a crowbar, hammer, or saw, we put our architect and design teams to work. From initial sketches to detailed elevations, floor plans, and renderings, our team collaborates on documents that inform every step of the renovation process.
Explore the elevations, floor plans, and renderings that enabled our tradespeople to transform this property.
Elevations
Our elevations bring out the home's original beauty while refreshing the exterior with modern materials and techniques. The home stays true to its historic charm, while feeling polished and timeless.
Floor Plans
We reimagine the interior of the home, balancing its original character with the expectations and lifestyles of today’s homeowners. We bring out the potential for each living space in ways that optimize livability and structural integrity, while respecing affordability.
Architectural Renderings
Our design team added the final touches to the renderings. Their photorealistic visuals instructed our tradespeople in the proper treatment of proportions, lighting, fixtures, cabinetry, appliances, materials, floorings, window treatments, and textures.
