Most of our projects involve altering existing buildings. We design interior remodels, minor and major additions, and even complete transformations of existing residences of all shapes and sizes. Some projects call for making very minor alterations to an existing house, repairing or updating an older home. Other projects call for complete transformations of existing houses, turning a house of one style into something completely different.

As with all of our work, we enjoy working in a wide variety of styles and project sizes and budgets. We are adept at seeing the hidden potential of an existing structure and finding creative ways of effectively utilizing its strengths.

We work closely with our clients to tailor the project to their program, their taste, and budget. We work well with single clients and with couples. We listen well and make sure that the needs of all the members of a family are met. We often bring paper and pencil to design meetings and directly involve our clients in the design process.

We also bring to the project our longstanding relationships with consultants and contractors. These include builders, structural and civil engineers, surveyors, interior designers, lighting designers, landscape architects, and realtors. We measure our projects ourselves because we find that an accurate set of as-built drawings is the only way to ensure that the designs will actually work when built. We also find that the process of measuring gives us time to get to know a building by physically interacting with it. The design process starts with measuring the existing structure.
