This family home represents our sweet spot – creating a beautiful, vibrant environment within a historic setting for a busy, active family. It’s a design that honors both the beautiful architecture and the parents’ passion for giving their children a safe, nurturing place to learn and grow.

Located on the East side of Providence, the home is a traditional late 1800’s foursquare. Making this historic home suitable for modern life included expanding the kitchen – we added a bay-shaped addition with custom windows created to identically match original bay windows in the home, and furnished it with a custom oval table and comfy banquette to create an airy, comfortable space where the whole family gathers for meals. We’ve even seen tired children fall asleep at the banquette, much to our delight.

Renovating the basement turned a dark wasted space into a fun, functional area with a kid’s playroom, a gym, and a bath. Everyone’s bedroom was upgraded. Mom and Dad now have a master suite that’s comfortable and well-conceived; the kids’ room were built with ongoing learning and self-expression in mind.

When you talk big picture, all of our clients know what’s important to them. This is definitely true for this savvy crew. They’re a happy, curious family. Mom and Dad are thoughtful and put a lot of their selves into the design – especially their desire that the kids have room to play and grow, spaces to make art and garden and just be free. Our role was to help make that happen.
