The tired wooden staircase was updated by painting the stairs and risers and replacing the balustrade with a more modern glass pne.

Also part of this home’s addition, the mud room effectively makes the most of its space. The bench, made up of wainscoting, hooks and a solid oak top for seating, provides storage and organization. Extra shelving in the nook provides more storage. The floor is black slate. What started as an addition project turned into a full house remodel in this Modern Craftsman home in Narberth, PA. The addition included the creation of a sitting room, family room, mudroom and third floor. As we moved to the rest of the home, we designed and built a custom staircase to connect the family room to the existing kitchen. We laid red oak flooring with a mahogany inlay throughout house. Another central feature of this is home is all the built-in storage. We used or created every nook for seating and storage throughout the house, as you can see in the family room, dining area, staircase landing, bedroom and bathrooms. Custom wainscoting and trim are everywhere you look, and gives a clean, polished look to this warm house.

This remodel consisted of a whole house transformation. We took this 3 bedroom dated home and turned it into a 5 bedroom award winning showpiece, all without an addition. By reworking the awkward floor plan and lowering the living room floor to be level with the rest of the house we were able to create additional space within the existing footprint of the home. What was once the small lack-luster master suite, is now 2 kids bedrooms that share a jack and jill bath. The master suite was relocated to the first floor, and the kitchen that was located right at the front door, is now located in the back of the home with great access to the patio overlooking the golf course.

Iron spiral staircase to gym

An used closet under the stairs is transformed into a beautiful and functional chilled wine cellar with a new wrought iron railing for the stairs to tie it all together. Travertine slabs replace carpet on the stairs. LED lights are installed in the wine cellar for additional ambient lighting that gives the room a soft glow in the evening. Photos by: Ryan Wilson

Altos House (2010) Project, Works Management and Construction Location Altos del Sol Gated Neighborhood, Ituzaingo, Buenos Aires, Argentina Total Area 354 m² Photo Eugenio Valentini The need to solve a very large plan as regards the size of the lot resulted in this house placed on a perimeter lot of a gated neighborhood with a very narrow front. It is a house that is closed to the exterior and opened to the garden, creating views on its own by means of an exterior space of intense use. The front corresponds to the access and service rooms: bedroom, bathroom and changing rooms for the pool, secondary entrance, garage and laundry, covered in aluminum panels. This paneling, together with the double-height wooden door with digital lock and the expressive sets of white masonry, make up the house’s geometry. On the rear façade, there is the pool, at the center of the scene, crossed by a glass bridge over the water, connecting the gallery, an expansion of the main sitting room, with the barbecue area and the playroom, differentiated by its wooden deck. This way, full use is made of a narrow lot, leaving a green area as background and placing the areas for family use and entertaining after the private rooms. The main entrance hall, of a double height, connects both plants visually. The concrete staircase, with a glass and steel banister, turns out to be a sculptural accessory ending in the upper floor lobby, built as a bridge connecting the master suite with the children’s bedrooms and generating privacy, in turn. The social area, after the entrance, integrates the sitting room and the dining room, separable from the kitchen, which has a bar and a central island, by means of a sliding door made of aluminum and translucent glass. From this room, which has double circulation, one may access the study and the toilet. The sinks of all the house bathrooms were exclusively designed by the firm and built with Corian Dupont. Some functions of the house, such as irrigation, blinds, pool and lighting, were domotized.
