Two massive stone fireplaces, oversized oak beams, 14 foot ceilings were some of the original features we intended to renovate & celebrate in the new space. A single bedroom and bathroom, in addition to living room, dining room and kitchen, made up the program.

Wood floors, rough plasterwork on walls are the only other materials used, allowing for full potential of the space to be celebrated.
