North Shore Home Remodel Process

The challenge of this North Shore Home Remodel was to update and upgrade this 1920’s brick Georgian to fit today’s lifestyle within the existing footprint. This was accomplished in the following ways:

1. We kept the character of the home’s exterior but completely transformed the interior.  A new roof and new windows throughout made the home more energy efficient and enhanced views of the lake from all the living spaces.

2. The  formal dining room was eliminated and the kitchen was relocated in its space. The dining space and open family room were incorporated into one large open plan. We opened the sitting space to the new kitchen and dining area to take advantage of the natural light.

3. The master suite of this North Shore home remodel was relocated into the east wing. We vaulted the master bedroom ceiling into the unused attic space giving the bedroom an even more airy feel. Our clients can now step onto the adjoining glass railed deck for an unobstructed view of the lake.

4. The removal of radiators and installation of radiant heat increased energy efficiency

Although the exterior of this classic traditional style home has minimal changes from the street view, its interior living spaces were completely reorganized. A thoughtfully re-designed interior with transitional style custom cabinetry made the home elegant, sophisticated, yet comfortably casual for large or small gatherings.
