A look inside The Bowery. These 5 Rittenhouse residences offer a balance of classic architecture and modern amenities. Open living areas, large windows, and sleek kitchens define the contemporary style, complimenting the timeless design of the exterior facade and the surrounding historic neighborhood.
We just visited the site of our latest project in Solebury, where a family has called us in to transform their historic farm into a functional living and entertaining space. The existing home will be converted into a guest house, while the barn will be redesigned as a pool house and entertaining space. We’ll also be building a new primary residence on the property that seamlessly blends with the other historic structures on the farm. Our goal is to preserve unique features like the stone walls and exposed beams, maintaining the original character while revitalizing the space for modern living. Stay tuned for updates as this project kicks off.
Our latest project on the Main Line is officially complete. 918 Ethan Allen Rd, located in Brewyn, seamlessly blends modern design with classic Main Line charm. Every space was designed with both style and functionality in mind, offering tons of natural light and an effortless flow from room to room.
The Bowery, a collection of 5 individual homes on Pine Street in Philadelphia, is now complete. With the approval of the Philadelphia Historic Commission, we designed this project to seamlessly integrate into the historic landscape of the city with distinct repetitive window patterns, balanced materials, and detailed masonry. Each of these 4 story homes marry traditional urban facades with modern interior amenities. Stay tuned for the upcoming interior photos.

Schoolhaus, recently featured in the Philadelphia Inquirer, is one of our most unique projects to date. This former 1860s schoolhouse in Newtown, PA, had seen several transformations before it was purchased by a family with a vision to expand and unify the home’s design. The objective was to create a design that respects and restores the historical elements of the home while seamlessly blending its modern counterparts.
