The recipient of two prestigious architecture awards, our firm's designs completely revamped this Victorian-style cottage, originally constructed in the 1840s. By the early 2000s, the property was abandoned, overgrown, and deteriorating.
​
The new owner commissioned us to restore the Victorian street façade and roof using historically appropriate materials, detailing, and colors. We also created a two-story expansion to provide a transition between a 1920s addition and the historic house, and added dynamic, full-height metal windows along the back wall to allow for views of the beautiful patio and backyard landscaping.
​
We also transformed the dilapidated flat-roofed garage into a Victorian Carriage House with historically-inspired roof-scape, siding, and detailing.
