Heritage + Innovative + Warmth

We had the privilege of collaborating with this dynamic family to reimagine their classic 1880s worker’s cottage, blending historic charm with modern sophistication. Deceptively simple in its aesthetic, this project demanded a tremendous amount of creative interior architecture, including redefining the kitchen, relocating baths and completely reconfiguring the primary suite to create a luxurious 3rd floor retreat. Bold structural innovations, such as replacing traditional support walls with sleek architectural I-beams, became the cornerstone of the transformation, opening up the space and flooding it with natural light. Thoughtful details, such as a custom-designed stair rail, were meticulously crafted to pay homage to the home’s storied past while elevating its design narrative. At the heart of the home is a reimagined kitchen where functionality and elegance coexist effortlessly. A harmonious palette of warm neutrals, paired with authentic materials like exposed brick, weathered wood, hand-troweled concrete cabinetry and natural stone, creates an inviting ambiance with a strikingly modern edge. The result is a home that beautifully marries timeless character with contemporary luxury, perfectly capturing the essence of this extraordinary family.

Professional Reviews

1 / 5

“We count our blessings every day that we found Nicholas to turn our Bucktown house into a home. What separates Nicholas from other designers (besides his impeccable taste) is that he really took the time to understand us as people; not just how we envision using our space, but how we operate in it and what passions drive us through our lives. By taking the time to understand us, he was able to infuse his designs with bespoke details made just for us. This continued throughout, from inception to final product. We loved that Nicholas brought us options, thoughtfully listened to our feedback, and that we made the final selections together, leading to a sense of pride and ownership in the final choices.” “Working with Nicholas was very easy. He was instantly responsive throughout. Because he was able to offer contractors with whom he has decades-long experience and relationships, he was able ensure that the project was managed on time, on budget, and with quality and accountability throughout. We've now lived in Nicholas's creation for about 6 months and are able to appreciate every day the subtle nuances that make our home feel like it was built just for us. It's the first time in our lives that we can truly say that we'd rather be in our home than anywhere else in the world. That is the true gift Nicholas's vision, care, and skill brought to our lives.”
