E.L. Powers House
E.L. Powers House Kitchen We are very excited about our kitchen remodel inside the historic EL Powers House. Constructed in 1910, this house is a stunning example of Prairie School architecture, and one of the first projects undertaken by the renowned partnership between William Purcell and George Elmslie. The EL Powers House represents one of […]
Clarence Johnston Revival
Clarence Johnston Revival When our clients decided to remodel and add onto their historic house, they were particularly invested in doing right by it and its well-known architect. Our main design objective was creating a kitchen that suited modern family life and fit stylistically within the historic context of the house. Other priorities included increasing […]

First, the pedigree of the house obligated us to be good stewards of its history and to respect its careful detailing and relative scale of spaces. Drawing on our extensive experience in decorative arts, we incorporated […]

A brand new kitchen incorporates the whimsical character of […]
Mediterranean Villa Reconstruction
Mediterranean Villa Reconstruction When this Mediterranean Villa-style house burned, the loss to the family was painful and disorientating. Consuming the roof and much of the second floor, the fire was terrible enough. Water damage throughout the rest of the house necessitated extensive reconstruction. Our clients wanted to remain true to the building’s original 1928 design […]
Franklin Ellerbe Tudor Reimagined
Franklin Ellerbe Tudor Reimagined The owners wanted to create a period-appropriate kitchen analogous to the entire house renovation. The kitchen not only needed to be larger, it also needed to afford for future family growth. Our design solution functions in two different ways—currently, the space adjacent to the kitchen is a small family room with […]
