RESIDENTIAL | RENOVATION

This interior project included a full renovation of the first floor to fit the homeowner’s needs. The project centered on creating a first floor primary suite, guest bathroom with laundry, walk-in pantry, and new kitchen space while applying concepts of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) into the confines of an older, smaller home. ADA codes apply only to specific public spaces and not single-family residential projects; however, the clearances were an important guide throughout the renovation when considering elements like door sizes and approaches, hallways, and hardware grasping.

The home’s interior was designed with extra space and appliances in easy-to-access spots. The kitchen’s design limits upper cabinets to avoid hard-to-reach spaces, and a custom dog nook with a water-filling station is situated below counter height to make it easy for the homeowner to refill. The bathrooms, bedrooms, closets and laundry areas were all designed to be spacious while offering luxurious interior details and finishes . The end result offers a cozy, detail oriented first floor style living with great views to Casco Bay.

This project was featured in Maine Home & Design’s Architecture Issue of 2024 for projects that shape Maine.
