Virginia Highlands Tudor Expansion

We’re going to take this 1930’s Tudor in Virginia Highlands and preserve the integrity & character of the house while adding a second storey. In order to do this, the entire roof of the house is getting demolished, a new staircase will be built, and the back wall blown out for a large gourmet kitchen. It will be going from a modest 2 bedroom/1 bathroom to a 5 bedroom/3 bathroom. We’ll be restoring all the original components of the house like the 2 panel doors, crystal knob hardware, original light fixtures, and original woodwork. We’ll be insulating with a soy based foam and adding salvaged antique components to the new second storey.

Virginia Highlands Bungalow Duplex Conversion

We have been hired to restore this lovely, detail-rich bungalow from a duplex back to a single family residence. To accomplish this, we’ll install pocket doors and the central hallway and paint the exterior of the house, while restoring the original cedar clapboards. We’ll also combine the kitchen to open up the space and build a lovely kitchen perfect for a family get togethers and eating-in.

Kirkwood Horsehead House

This quirky one and half storey California style bungalow is located on Warlick Place in Kirkwood and was originally built by Frank Ruggles in 1910. It has suffered the neglect of the last 100 years and was turned into a triplex in 1984. Still, it retains gorgeous woodwork, a stunning Victorian mantel, original windows, heart of pine floors, and unusual details. The back end of the house has suffered severe structural damage and was demoed and expanded to create a 5 bedroom/3.5 bathroom house with a 2 car drive under garage. When we finish this restoration, this house will be one of the grand dames of Kirkwood.
