Our client wanted their dream home to be an informal place where they could easily entertain and enjoy themselves. We were awarded the interior design and architectural specification package, which allowed us to recommend substantial alterations prior to construction, including raising the ceiling height, removing walls, reconfiguring rooms and entrances, and specifying appealing ceiling, wall and flooring treatments. In this dining room, we added a partial wall and a dark, wood stained transition arch. The partial wall increases the feel of privacy in the room. We cut wallpaper into squares and turned each square when hanging it, to create a subtle, textured visual effect. Each corner has nail head accents. We added a gothic-inspired valance to the window treatments and integrated the drapery cornices into crown molding. This creates crown molding along the room's perimeter with a flowing, seamless appearance. Chris Little Photography

A beautiful 1920's home with Mediterranean and English Gothic influences. Magnificent original architectural details such as the wood ceiling, cast stone fireplace, and leaded glass windows make the room grand and special. A custom mahogany built-in bar with marble top, hand forged iron chandeliers, luxurious leather and velvet furnishings a grand piano and fresh paint give the room new life while embracing it's historical roots.

A stunning family home in the heart of London, this ‘Gothic Revival’ property is enclosed within high walls and with it’s beautiful garden, gives a sense of being in the country. Featuring quartrefoils, tracery and turrets, lost period details have been recreated and the once dark interiors now bask in new-found light and colour. When the owners first discovered the house it was a run-down old vicarage in much need of refurbishment. Broseley sourced all the materials to create the Gothic look; the brickwork is a mix of London stock with banks of red brick and the quartrefoils are carved from Portland stone. The phased project was carried out over some years and began by replacing the lightwell behind the hall with a turret, which houses the cantilevered stone staircase. It was a complex project as the outside edge of the stairs is octagonal to match the walls of the turret while the inside is elliptical. Broseley also added the arched porch at the front of the house and created rib vaulting in the entrance hall. An extension was added to create a bathroom adjoining the master bedroom, which had fitted paneling and reinstated cornicing. On the top floor, Broseley turned odd angled corners into bathrooms and realigned the layout of bedrooms. A number of fireplaces were added to all the main rooms, and extensive repair work done to the architectural finishes throughout the house. The kitchen was build by Broseley, who first enlarged the space and then made all the bespoke units. Most recently, Broseley has added a light subterranean extension, which incorporates a big ‘party room’, guest bedroom and bathroom, a compact ‘entertaining kitchen’ and a courtyard.

Redolent of Cape Cod and other seaside locales, the pool house is appointed with relaxed furnishings — slip-covered sofas, rugged tables and sturdy, natural fiber area rugs. In keeping with the industrial/modern look, a Gregorios Pineo chandelier and Jamie Young Steampunk floor lamp illuminate the interiors. Cleverly concealing the entertainment center when not in use, a sliding barn door, created from reclaimed lumber from a farm in Oregon, gives the structure a rustic, relaxed feel. It’s become the family’s hangout of choice since completion. A small galley kitchen, covered in Ann Sacks tile and custom shelves, serves as wet bar and food prep area for the family and their guests for frequent pool parties. Vinyl covered walls in the powder room protects from moisture—and kid paws—and lends a beach-y, sandstone texture to the room. Polished concrete flooring carries out to the pool deck connecting the spaces, including a cozy sitting area flanked by a board form concrete fireplace, and appointed with comfortable couches for relaxation long after dark. Poolside chaises provide multiple options for lounging and sunbathing, and expansive Nano doors poolside open the entire structure to complete the indoor/outdoor objective.

This beautiful 1881 Alameda Victorian cottage, wonderfully embodying the Transitional Gothic-Eastlake era, had most of its original features intact. Our clients, one of whom is a painter, wanted to preserve the beauty of the historic home while modernizing its flow and function. From several small rooms, we created a bright, open artist’s studio. We dug out the basement for a large workshop, extending a new run of stair in keeping with the existing original staircase. While keeping the bones of the house intact, we combined small spaces into large rooms, closed off doorways that were in awkward places, removed unused chimneys, changed the circulation through the house for ease and good sightlines, and made new high doorways that work gracefully with the eleven foot high ceilings. We removed inconsistent picture railings to give wall space for the clients’ art collection and to enhance the height of the rooms. From a poorly laid out kitchen and adjunct utility rooms, we made a large kitchen and family room with nine-foot-high glass doors to a new large deck. A tall wood screen at one end of the deck, fire pit, and seating give the sense of an outdoor room, overlooking the owners’ intensively planted garden. A previous mismatched addition at the side of the house was removed and a cozy outdoor living space made where morning light is received. The original house was segmented into small spaces; the new open design lends itself to the clients’ lifestyle of entertaining groups of people, working from home, and enjoying indoor-outdoor living.

This is an example of a dining room in Chicago.

Reconfiguration and renovation of the entry area, dining room, kitchen and bathroom on the main level of a triplex. The apartment is in what was originally the nave of a large church. Much of the original detailing, including 10’ high stained glass windows, gothic arches, and ornate column capitals, is still intact. The program was to enlarge the existing under-sized kitchen, reduce the size of the existing over-sized bathroom and create an entry hall with a coat closet. This difficult task was achieved through reversing the locations of the kitchen and bathroom, while keeping the wet wall between the two rooms intact. Aesthetically the goal was a warm, modern space, deferential to the drama of the existing spaces and detailing.

Eclectic bedroom in Boise.

Our homeowners found this wonderful antique Victorian Gothic dresser at a local antique shop. The vanity with its mosaic copper vessel sink, is perfect for making this powder room special for their guests. The workable drawers were adapted to accommodate the sink drain and we replaced old locks on the glove drawers with sparkling crystal knobs. Photo by Matt Kocourek

The great room in this space is large enough for two sofas, a grand piano and ample additional seating. A gas fireplace and integrated media center makes this great for entertaining.
