The
clients wanted what most every 1930’s-era homeowner does…a larger
kitchen, functional dining room, upgraded master suite and convenient
home office. A gracious front foyer and a rear family entrance rounded
out their wish list. The relocated front entrance, complete with
mahogany door, custom rough-sawn posts and copper roof, provides a warm
welcome. The former garage was downsized to allow for more two-story
space, where another dormer fits right in. Inside, flow was the big
issue. Relocating the front entrance offered ample room for a gracious
foyer-with clear sight lines to the expanded dining room and comfortable
living room. The kitchen area grew as the hub of the home. Classic
cherry cabinetry, stainless appliances and a honed limestone countertop
feel right at home within the new space. With such a large scope of
work, the opportunity for energy retrofitting became obvious. Upgrades
included spray-foam insulation, a high-efficiency HVAC and air
purification system, energy-star appliances, and energy-efficient
windows throughout. Other materials, such as the kitchen’s recycled
glass backsplash and cork floor, were chosen for their sustainable
qualities.
