The Challenge

11 Years of "Making It Work"

After more than a decade in their home, this Beverly family was ready to fix the layout that had frustrated them since day one.

The Kitchen

"You couldn't open the oven at the same time as the fridge. They would smash into each other. It was unbelievable."

The Wall

"There was a huge wall that blocked off the whole kitchen. I'd be cooking and my husband couldn't see me. I'd have to peek my head around the corner."

The Dining Room

"Once you sat down, you were there for the night. If someone needed to leave, everyone had to get up."

The Staircase

"All the light from the skylight didn't go anywhere. There were walls blocking everything."

The Vision

Designed Entirely In-House

This wasn't a project that needed to be sent out. Our team designed every detail, from the floor plan reconfiguration to Rick's hand-drawn staircase plans.

The challenge: removing a load-bearing wall while rerouting all the plumbing that ran through it. The solution required walls positioned specifically to accommodate pipes from upstairs, turning an engineering problem into a design opportunity.

Design-Build Advantage When design and construction are under one roof, problems become opportunities. No back-and-forth between architects and builders, just solutions.

The Result

The Finished Space

Craftsmanship

Signature Details

Premium materials and thoughtful design choices that make this space truly special.

Tin Ceiling

A stunning focal point that adds character and warmth to the open kitchen space.

"First one we ever did. Now it's our favorite." — Rick

Calcutta Vermont Quartz

Premium countertops throughout with subtle veining that catches the natural light from the newly opened space.

Reclaimed Glass Chandelier

Recycled glass, boiled down and formed into elegant strips. A sustainable statement piece that commands attention over the dining table.

White Oak Floors

Water-based poly finish chosen specifically because it won't yellow over time, keeping the natural white oak tone beautiful for decades to come.

"I didn't know what it was going to look like, really, but now that we have it, I wouldn't trade it for the world."

"Now I can cook and actually see my guests."
