The
personal element of expression for each client's lifestyle and desires
by nature denote single family residential architecture as the most
challenging of projects. Residential work of all types presents
design requirements of which we are intimately familiar, but which
must continually be resolved through the influence of site, budget,
lifestyle and expectations. Residential work presents our greatest
opportunity to enrich people's lives in a meaningful lasting role.

The
client desired the kind of large open living space not found in
this 1920's Tudor style home. The resulting addition blends seamlessly
with the house from the exterior and only hints at the warm, inviting
living and dining space contained within. The project also created
a more private outdoor living space for the family to enjoy.

The
design of this modest renovation is a surprise to visitors of this
small 1950's tract house. Demolishing the wall between the kitchen
and dining room allowed the cook in this small kitchen to stay connected
with guests and family. The use of modern and historic expression
produced a warm, colorful interior within a minimal budget. The
architect designed and painted a geometric design on the dining
room wall using what he calls "grandmother colors". The mural's
garden motif continues the trellis like expression of the kitchen
enclosure. By being considered for publication in a national magazine
and being sold within two-weeks the renovation has been shown to
be appealing.

A
complete interior renovation of this 6,500 square foot existing
residence transformed this structure into a finished house in keeping
with the owner's traditional tastes. Located adjacent a prestigious
country club in an exclusive development, this project features
a family room addition coupled with an expansion of the existing
living room to integrate an existing side porch. The renovation
required the complete removal and replacement of all interior trim
and finishes. Also included was a new custom kitchen suitable for
entertaining guests and redesigned sleeping quarters with grandly
traditional amenities. The new additions blend contemporary detailing
with the traditional vocabulary of the original home to produce
a harmonious solution. Material selections and profiles were developed
to provide a new architectural character.

The
fraternity house suffered a tragic fire, which required the rebuilding
of this turn of the century structure. The rebuilt structure pays
close homage to the original building's exterior design while enclosing
a thoroughly modern interior, which is home to seventeen students.

The
client approached us to design a natatorium space for their 70-year-old
brick house. Our office designed a 2,400 square foot addition with
appropriate scale and materials. The project won an award from the
Central Pennsylvania Chapter of the American Institute of Architects
in 1991.
