The exposed trusses, sidelights and dormer mimic the lofted design of the original Living Room. Superior materials such as sustainably harvested FSC-certified woods, Western Red Cedar exposed framing and trim, Douglas Fir tongue and groove roof deck, porcelain tile deck, rare Lime Stucco by Artisan Exteriors, LLC and a decorative copper-wrapped deck cornice.

Custom designed cabinetry and bookshelves, energy efficient insulation and hot water radiant heat makes this new basement family room inviting and cozy and increases the living space of the house by over 400 square feet.

This 1902 Baltimore rowhouse still had most of its original moldings and details, but the old plaster walls and windows were neglected. We framed out a new, thin profile wall, which enabled modern insulation, new windows, and updated electrical, cable TV and high-speed internet services to be installed. New moldings were added faithfully re-creating the old profile.view slideshow
This early 1960’s home felt claustrophobic and the old sliding doors were drafty and no longer operated smoothly. By removing a partition between eat-in kitchen and living room and replacing the outdated doors with low-E Andersen casement windows and a patio door unit, we increased insulation, energy efficiency, and brought light and space to the living area. A new gas log fireplace and custom maple mantel complete the room.view slideshow
The proximity of this Baltimore, MD rowhouse to the Inner Harbor and its maritime and industrial history inspired the style of this complete renovation of an 1899 building. The space is modest (about 1200 square feet) but feels open and bright.view slideshow
We took an unused concrete pad rear lot and created a private urban oasis. The project includes a custom pergola, a sandstone patio and path, a custom privacy fence with Dutch door gate, raised flower beds and vegetable plot, as well as many perennial plantings. A flowering crape-myrtle tree creates amazing summer shade and color, while a beautiful cascading Japanese maple gives texture and fall color.view slideshow
We created a streetside sign with the company logo that is functional, visible and beautiful. The sign stanchions are fabricated from indestructible industrial steel that is both elegant and massive. The raw steel is finished with gun-bluing patina and weatherproof carnauba wax. The sign is illuminated at night by high efficiency, low-wattage LED lighting, which replaces neon.
