Renovations
Garage Conversion
Staunton’s historic districts are filled with unique structures waiting to be reclaimed for a new life. When a young couple set their sights on a dilapidated garage with a vision to transform it into a modern, light-filled home, a delightful design process ensued. Balancing between the historic guidelines and the need for light and egress presented unique challenges. The result is a joyful space that reflects the owners’ tastes and brings their vision to life.
This home was featured in Abode magazine and on the HGTV show “You Live in What?”
Villages at Staunton Renovation
The historic Villages at Staunton campus is the site of the original Western State hospital, adjacent to downtown and filled with historic architecture. A row of single family homes, originally constructed for the hospital physicians, stands out against a backdrop of larger buildings in the campus’s park-like setting; one of these is the newly renovated home of a retired couple.
The design process aimed to create a balance between modern amenities and historic details, while prioritizing accessibility for aging in place. At the same time, a historic easement placed restrictions on both the exterior and interior design. The end result is a bright, livable home that will serve the homeowners in this next phase of life.
Kitchen Renovation
This historic home in one of Staunton’s residential neighborhoods had been beautifully added on to by a previous homeowner, but the kitchen remained untouched. The layout was not ideal for a busy young family, and was cut off from the living spaces visually. The kitchen renovation resulted in a bright, open layout with beautiful finishes that brings joy and functionality to each day.
