MORE SPACE | Sometimes you need to carve out space wherever you can. Indoor Parking is usually the first to go. Most garages built in the city were required and don't always fit the car you own. The garages in most older, urban homes also don't fit todays cars. Don't overlook this space when you need more!

FLOATING | All remodels have items to work around. This one had footings under all four walls. First, wall mounted toilet and the only place it could be installed was directly in front of the doorway (boo!) so it had to look good. A floating vanity. Check. And Its a living in place design so a zero threshold shower is a must along with built in seating, hand shower within reach & grab bars. Footings everywhere = floating everything!

SMALL SPACES | This one floor addition had to fit a lot! Dining room, guest room & bathroom, laundry room, dog wash station and a sewing room. Whew! Lots of doors close together but needed for private spaces.

INSIDE OUT | I am always considering both sides of the wall. The more inside and outside spaces you can connect the more complete and spacious your home can feel.

CLIENT SCOPE | One of the items determined at an on site consultation with clients is scope. Some haven't quite nailed it down. Others have made 'to scale' models of exactly what they are envisioning.

BOSCO VERTICALE | Residential architecture at its finest. I design inside out in most projects but this building in Milan by Boeri Studios definitely started with the outside. Its been a favorite of mine for years and I finally got to see it in person. Its early spring but the plants are beautiful and will only get better as the weather warms.

KITCHENS | Clients don't always need more space. Sometimes they need *different* space. This kitchen's select spaces were reimagined and designed for how the clients use the space now. Then Cabinets, countertops and tile were updated and upgraded for the next 20 years!

BASEMENT ADU | When adding ADUs to basements I need to design around countless constraints. Existing structure, duct work (in this case stretching from fridge to sink), utilities & lower ceilings. With careful designing, hopefully most of these disappear.

LIGHTING | Cosy lighting for a hot shower. Clients wanted to age in place so their daughter stepped up. We converted a garage/workshop and part of the daylight basement to an ADU. Zero threshold shower was imperative and so was sqeezing in laundry.
