Beautifully sited on Lake Monona and originally designed with details and millwork throughout the house inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, including a quote by FLW on the red fireplace wall. Previous renovations ignored the home’s character. We updated those spaces to reflect the spirit and design details to match the beauty of the rest of the house.

It’s not easy to take a 6 bedroom, 1 bathroom Victorian and make it livable for today’s family, while respecting the classic structure of the era. We’re happy with the result, and so was the client!

The homeowner loved prairie style architecture but didn’t think it was possible with her existing house. A total exterior transformation was accomplished by removing the second floor shingle siding, raising the flat roofs to prairie style hip roofs and providing a sense of entry with the welcoming front porch, featuring prairie style column design. Nothing was modified on the interior except the windows above the entry on the second floor.

Do you yearn for a master ensuite but don’t think you have the room? It just takes a practiced eye, some creativitiy and plenty of experience to turn your dream into a reality.

Featured on HGTV’s “Bang for your Buck,” this renovation used a small addition to make a tiny kitchen a usable space for a baker and his partner to work in harmony.

The second island was actually a replacement for that old oak round table that used to connect the kitchen and living spaces. The prep space stays clear but the family can stay near.

There is incredible potential for your home’s basement! Whether it’s room for the kids to play or hangout, or a private guest area, this is the place to maximize living space.

We transformed a mexican-themed, cactus and avocado covered, interior space into a bright and airy cafe/bakery. Now a beloved community gathering space in the heart of Monroe Street.

Location is everything, but what if your house doesn’t belong? You don’t have to start from scratch when you think outside of the box. Or should we say, the gable?

Sometimes it doesn’t take much to turn a non-descript facia into a welcoming exterior. Updated windows, a portico over the entry and other small touches added a lot of curb appeal to this home.

We took the existing dining room and kitchen and flipped them around; then captured unused sunroom and put it all together for one amazing central gathering space. The island seats 10!

A classic, untouched, craftsman in the Vilas neighborhood goes from ugly duckling to beautiful swan. This beauty inspires neighbors to consider the possibilities of their own property.

This project was about creating an open plan while maintaining the character of the individual spaces. The bonus was fitting in a 1st floor powder room in the process.

Featured in the 2015 NARI Remodeled Homes Tour. By adding just 300 SF, this cramped, outdated house was transformed into a spacious, light-filled beauty!

Love to entertain but don’t think you have the space? This renovation took a few awkward rooms and turned them into a gorgeous kitchen where the hostess truly is the life of the party.

It’s not the 1950’s anymore, so we chose custom-made red birch cabinetry with sleek quartz countertops. Clean lines, good flow and natural light brought it into the 21st century.
