Full of Surprises!

A few months ago, our firm was hired to design a major renovation on a home in our own neighborhood. Seeing the home's interior for the first time was quite a surprise. Alterations had been made to the home by previous owners, that spoke more of that period in design than about the vintage of the home itself. We feel honored to be a part of a project of this nature; one that we think is important to the restoration of a home in a historic district.

Here are some pictures of the home as it is now:

Because the home is in a historic neighborhood, there are more steps to the design process than just a "normal" renovation. Our team has many years of experience in dealing with this process, and understanding the design elements that will be closely scrutinized by our local Architectural Review Commission. After client approval, all plans must be approved by the ARC prior to being sent to the city for building approval.

As you can imagine, a design process that must embrace both the clients' desires for a comfortable and aesthetically appealing space, and historic building dictates, requires a lot of time and comfortable communication with the clients and approval boards. We were very lucky on this project to have both!

Here you can see some of our plans for interior design solutions that will be implemented to return the spaces to what they once might have been...only better!
The project went before the ARC for approval earlier this week, and passed with flying colors, so construction should begin soon. Next, I'll share drawings with you for the exterior renovations. This will be an exciting project to watch!

Hats-off to our clients for their commitment to this project. Your trust in Interior Spaces means the world to us!
