It’s hard to Measure
the Value of a Life Well Lived
“To do this house right, we needed support, skills and talent.”
“We work with people who care deeply about their trades at some of the most meaningful projects in southeastern Pennsylvania.”
Our clients’ travel history launched a bright itinerary for their 1911 home and a quest to combine Main Line living with European cues from memory. What was initially missing, a place to organize an extensive collection of books, set in motion a design far beyond their expectations. A new garage and fireside library link to a daylit atrium and sun splashed kitchen, hand-crafted features for a welcoming home.
View ProjectIndividuality is built into each experience of this Main Line home. Building on the cues that honor the historic grandeur, we’ve added updates throughout the main floor kitchen and living areas. On the second floor, we outfitted the master suite with grace and polish, separating baths and dressing rooms for the couple.
View ProjectStarting in an idyllic location, we began a rally for ancillary living space with enclosed parking. The project accelerated to allow our clients to comfortably house in-laws and guests, with a display case for their collection of motorized gems.
View ProjectA family rewriting their story offered the context for recreating their new space to share. We worked on the setting for their next chapters, bringing the memories of the past to an updated and cheerful arrangement of gathering rooms and private retreats.
View ProjectThere’s a natural tension between a home’s original plan, and the need for modern upgrades. Abiding the history of a Chester County farmhouse, we added usefulness and inviting features, while keeping the tradition intact.
View ProjectA minimalist design incorporates the value and meaning of everyday life, void of chaos and noise. We’ve gathered the austere best for our clients – from lighting and technology to wine storage, appliances and custom cabinetry.
View ProjectWhen the homeowners purchased the property nearly 10 years ago, they knew they would eventually make changes. After initial light upgrades to the exterior, they recently committed to a complete renovation to reshape every part of their living experience. In style and function, together we’ve created a place for fun and family.
View ProjectIn the best sense of the word, we defined brilliant, highly functional, and well-appointed first floor spaces within a relatively narrow footprint.

This whole-house renovation gave our client the opportunity to completely recast their home. Why work out in the basement? Make the gym beautiful and enjoy it on the first floor.

Pocket doors have a well-deserved bad rap, but they are useful in tight spaces. Now, we found a great system that we love to hang pocket doors. A rigid machined aluminum frame creates a solid base for soft-close and soft-open hardware, just like the drawers in your kitchen cabinetry. This makes the door operation smooth as silk! ...
