Remodeling - Before/After

 - Additions, Redesign, Takeover Projects

Our projects vary in size, style and scope -- from starter homes to luxury estates.  In the latter category, these large mansions comprise 50% of our work.  Takeover projects, designs that were started by others and that have been given over to us to redesign in elevation/ plan and to create interior details, now make up 30% of our total billings.  The projects illustrated below speak for themselves.

NEW: Schematic STUDY FLOOR PLANS available at $2,500 under 6,000 SF and $5,000 up to 12,000 SF, credited to any Plan Purchase!  inquire here.

This project was started by another architect and then redesigned in elevation and interior detailing.  We maintained the basic plan, as the contractor had poured footings and steel had been ordered.  (above and below)

A custom estate received its inspiration at mid-point in the exterior elevation development package.  We were commissioned to re-design the exterior elevations, verify and suggest improvements to the floor plans, and re-create the interior elevations.  The Owner wishes that the neo-Baroque facade picks up details from the Paris Opera, a 19th century Beaux-Arts design. 

Mere Belle, detail of front entry (below).  The original conception was changed from a somewhat medieval design (see front elevation above) to a Renaissance Fantasy when turrets, a central arch with voussoirs and more refined details were incorporated.

Mere Belle, the celebrated eclectic Mediterranean villa in Orlando Florida,  will be remodeled with a domed central Great Room (see above).  Several exterior details have been modified and extra space added to the ground (basement) level.  See Ultra-Custom Services.

This is a spec home designed for Premier Homes in Austin Texas.  We redesigned the exterior facade and consulted on interior details.

     

Mr. Miller came to us with an artist's canvas (T.Kinkade), top left).  We proposed the rendering and new design (middle).  Mr. Miller is now happily residing in the finished home (above right).   

Historic '20's style home above, after redesign and expansion below

Small bungalow, 1940s before above and after below

This is a builder spec 'French Country' style house. Proportions needed to be recast and several elements redesigned.  Roof pitch needed to be steeper to match period style.  Note cresting at top ridge.  This everyday design was transformed into an elegant French castle with Renaissance touches
