Project Overview

This family of four loved their historic home, but the 1920’s layout had posed challenges for years. The kitchen, dining room, breakfast nook, and laundry room crowded together in one section of the house — and didn’t give family members the space to move around and enjoy company. Ferrier helped them turn this area into a reimagined social hub for their home. ctional updates, including mechanical, electrical, and plumbing upgrades to improve energy and water efficiency. Indoors and out, new paint made the home more closely match the family’s personalities. New doors and light fixtures provided both aesthetic and energy efficiency benefits.

We started the construction process by removing dividing walls to turn the four separate rooms into two larger, more usable rooms: a kitchen with room for an island, sitting area, and spacious built-in storage; and a combined laundry/mud room, where we exposed an old brick wall during construction. As a nod to the home’s history, we sealed this wall and left it visible. We also updated the powder bathroom that shares a wall with the kitchen.

All of these updates and additions work together to create a home this family can feel comfortable living in for many more years.
