An addition adds significant square footage to a cottage without eclipsing it. The design adopts the home's traditional features but develops them in a contemporary way. This results in spaces that are familiar but bathed in sunlight and with strong visual connections to the outside.

A meticulously detailed addition sits comfortably amongst its elegant neighbors in DC's distinct Kalorama neighborhood. On the second story of the addition, a sun-filled sitting room invites guests to gather by the tree canopy.

A side yard addition provides this south-of-Broad home with a deck that uncovers unique views of the historic neighborhood. Designed to look like it had always been there, the addition expands the home's once cramped and outdated kitchen.

Renovation of a foyer and family room with spectacular views of Panama City's skyline. Shutters filter the harsh tropical sun without obstructing views. Storage is carefully built into (and hidden within) contemporary wood paneling. A mural pays homage to the project's location.

A limestone-clad addition seeks to better integrate a grand rowhouse with its new rear garden. Large windows draw visitors through the home's renovated kitchen into the garden. Sculptural limestone steps and an integrated planter mitigate the stark difference in elevation.
