Long before we were designing workshops for our clients, Laura was building alongside her dad.

Laura's dad is a retired pilot, and while she was growing up, his workshop was a place for models, tools, projects—and a tiny Laura soaking it all in. She learned from a young age that there's something restorative about having the right space to make something you're passionate about.

As Laura puts it, “Workshops have been in my blood for a very long time.”

We were thrilled to recently design a workshop for a retired engineer who wanted a dedicated place for his gadgets, tools, and projects. And over the years, we've designed everything from hobby rooms and workshops to auto garages and collector car showrooms. Those are some of our favorite projects.

They're very different spaces, but we start with the same question: What do you love to do, and what would make it easier to do it here?

The room itself may be familiar—an extra bedroom, a workshop, a garage, a hobby room—but when we design it around what you love to do, it becomes uniquely yours.

A calm palette doesn’t mean every detail has to play it safe, and this kitchen proves that a few unexpected choices can make a neutral space much more interesting. The deep blue island adds a rich pop of color, while the oversized light fixture brings a bit of whimsy overhead and keeps the room from feeling too serious.

That quieter approach leaves room for the kitchen to become whatever the day calls for. Breakfast before everyone heads out the door, groceries spread across the island, dinner on the stove or someone pulling up a chair just to talk.

A kitchen can have a strong point of view without competing for attention. Sometimes the architecture does its best work in the background.

An older home rarely tells its whole story at first glance.

Walls have moved. Rooms have changed purpose. Families have grown, lifestyles have shifted and each owner has left something behind. Sometimes those changes are obvious. Others are tucked into old photographs, building records, materials or small architectural details that have survived for decades.

We like to think of it as house genealogy: understanding where a home started, how it evolved and what each chapter can tell us about what should come next.

Preserving an older home doesn’t mean returning every detail to the way it looked when it was built. Homes are meant to change along with the people who live in them. But before deciding what to restore, remove or reimagine, it helps to understand why something is there in the first place.

The goal isn’t to recreate the past. It’s to understand the home well enough that what comes next feels like it belongs there too.

There’s a lot more to uncover before the first design decision is ever made. Read our latest blog: https://bit.ly/4xMQnbk to learn how a little detective work can help reveal the story your home has been telling all along.

It’s that balance between old and new that can make a remodel feel like it was always meant to be there.

We love the mix of natural wood, crisp white cabinetry, and how the original character shines through in the brick and staircase. Nothing is trying too hard, and everything works together to make the area feel comfortable and welcoming.

Instead of removing everything that was already there, the updates become another layer of the home’s story.

Homes are rarely used one room at a time.

Life overlaps. Someone is reading while dinner is cooking. Kids are doing homework at the table. Friends gather around a meal before lingering over conversation.

That's why the best homes are designed with flexibility in mind. Spaces should feel connected, comfortable and ready to support the many ways people actually live, not just the way they're labeled on a floor plan.

Beautiful design isn't just about creating individual rooms. It's about creating a home that works together.

Some paint colors have stood the test of time. There's a reason they still feel right today.

Benjamin Moore introduced its Historical Collection in 1976 as part of America's Bicentennial celebration. Rather than following the color trends of the day, the collection drew inspiration from shades found on historic American architecture. Nearly 50 years later, many of those same colors continue to be favorites for both historic homes and new homes inspired by traditional design.

When we think about timeless architecture, color is part of the story. Historic homes have an enduring quality because every element works together. The proportions, materials, architectural details, and color palette all contribute to a home that feels balanced and authentic.

Whether you're restoring an older home or building a new one, studying historic color palettes can be a great place to start. The right paint color doesn't just complement a house. It reinforces the home's architectural character and helps it feel like it belongs.

It's a reminder that some of the best design inspiration isn't new at all. Sometimes, it's simply stood the test of time.

A second-floor addition like this creates more than another room. It gives a home the flexibility to evolve as life changes. It might be a playroom today, a homework space tomorrow, and a crafting retreat years from now.

That's why we think beyond square footage. We design spaces that can adapt over time, helping a home support the changing rhythms of family life.

The most successful additions don't simply make a home bigger. They make it better equipped for the life unfolding inside it.

A well-designed bathroom should make your mornings easier.

The best spaces aren't necessarily the biggest or the most elaborate. They're thoughtfully planned around the people who use them every day—from the placement of the vanity and lighting to the storage that keeps everything within reach.

When the layout works, the room simply feels comfortable. That's the difference thoughtful design can make.
