Although not that old, and solidly constructed in the mid 1990’s, design wise it was a total mess. I know, sounds snobby, but it was a conglomeration of boxy spaces, different wings jutting out at strange angles, and rooflines all over the place. No rhyme or reason to it. A real head scratcher for sure.

Initially, the decision was to tear it all down and start from scratch. But the owners kind of feel like I do— if you’re able to work with something that’s already there, then maybe that’s less of a waste. I sketched out what I would remove, what I’d keep and where the main spaces would be relocated. They liked the concept and we were off.

The result is a lot of work and perseverance from everyone involved. Another great team effort between the owners, B&D Builders and us. Michelle Harris took care of the interior selections and coordination. Christiana Factory Studio handled most of the cabinetry on the upper levels.
