This majestic home in Maplewood, NJ's had a somewhat out-dated kitchen and family room.
The remodel opened up the family room with more light and created a restaurant-style open kitchen with adjacent seating banquet.
Family Room beyond features new Dutch-door entrance to driveway on one side and French door sliders to the grilling deck on the other side.
Exposed ridge rafters provide a base for LED lighting that illuminates the vaulted ceiling.
At the other end of the kitchen, built-in banquet seating provides a perfect family gathering space with under-bench drawers providing plenty of extra storage space.

This center hall colonial had served its owners well for years, but when they were ready for a new main bedroom suite, new laundry room mudroom and front entry, we were ready for the challenge Galaxy Building, In House Photography.
The newly designed portico provides fresh, bright posts and trim with contrasting warm wood front door and gentle arched ceiling.
The deeper porch provides much needed cover for guests and packaging and the terraced steps and landscaping enabled the elimination of guardrails.

The couple that purchased this 1960s home in Monclair, NJ were originally not fans of some of the Hollywood "glam" elements.
We worked with them to preserve some of the more salient features while providing more contemporary updates enabling them to stamp their own unique style to the home.

Open shelving helps to modernize the kitchen, complete with high gloss tile and mixed metal fixtures and appliances.
The basement mini-bar becomes the central entertainment area located between the home theater and the billiard room.

Our client already had a beautiful home.
However, the lack of a family room combined with an awkward back entrance meant it was time to create an addition.
With a new family room, deck, mudroom, powder room, home office, and remodeled kitchen the back portion of this home became as gracious and spacious as the formal dining room, living room and foyer.
A new entrance was created between the driveway and the family room with space for a mudroom, closet, new powder room and home office.
With the new family room, deck and entrance, the rear part of the house became "front-and-center".
