Cummings Architecture + InteriorsThe Johnson-Thompson house is the oldest house in Winchester, MA, dating back to the early 1700s. The addition and renovation expanded the structure and added three full bathrooms including a spacious two-story master bathroom, as well as an additional bedroom for the daughter. The kitchen was moved and expanded into a large open concept kitchen and family room, creating additional mud-room and laundry space. But with all the new improvements, the original historic fabric and details remain. The moldings are copied from original pieces, salvaged bricks make up the kitchen backsplash. Wood from the barn was reclaimed to make sliding barn doors. The wood fireplace mantels were carefully restored and original beams are exposed throughout the house. It's a wonderful example of modern living and historic preservation.

Architecture Studio, Inc.This estate home is situated in the premier fly-in community in the state of Florida if not the world. In addition to the home we also designed the airplane hangar that compliments the home and can house a small luxury jet. The two story home is 9,500 sq. ft. with an open floor plan and outdoor living, as well as a future (unfinished) home theater on the upper floor. The bottom floor has a large kitchen with a dining room that can accommodate an extended family, the living rooms focal point is the swimming pool and the pizza oven on the far side. All of this viewed via dual sliding and disappearing pocketing doors that make both the outdoors and indoor spaces blend into one. The home’s curb appeal is really enhanced by the lush landscaping that really makes this home stand out within the community.

Moore Architects, PCOriginally built in the 1940’s as an austere three-bedroom
partial center-hall neo-colonial with attached garage, this
house has assumed an entirely new identity. The transformation
to an asymmetrical dormered cottage responded to the
architectural character of the surrounding City of Falls Church
neighborhood.
The family had lived in this house for seven years, but
recognized that the plan of the house, with its discreet
box-like rooms, was at odds with their desired life-style. The
circulation for the house included each room, without a
distinct circulation system. The architect was asked to expand
the living space on both floors, and create a house that unified
family activities. A family room and breakfast room were
added to the rear of the first floor, and the existing spaces
reconfigured to create an openness and connection among
the rooms. An existing garage was integrated into the house
volume, becoming the kitchen, powder room and mudroom.
Front and back porches were added, allowing an overlap of
family life inside the house and outside in the yard.
Rather than simply enlarge the rectangular footprint of the
house, the architect sought to break down the massing with
perpendicular gable roofs and dormers to alleviate the roof
line. The Craftsman style provided texture to the fenestration.
The broad roof overhangs provided sun screening and
rain protection. The challenge of unifying the massing led
to the development of the breakfast room. Conceived as a
modern element, the one-story massing of the breakfast
room with roof terrace above twists the volume 45% to the
mass of the main house. Materials and detailing express the
distinction. While the main house is clad in the original brick
and new horizontal siding with trim and details appropriate
to its cottage vocabulary, the breakfast room exterior is clad
in vertical wide-board tongue-and-groove siding to minimize
the texture. The steel hand railing on the roof terrace above
accentuates the clean lines of this special element.
