 Argraves Residence, Charleston, SC 
   

In addition to architectural design, our work includes remodeling and restoration of existing spaces in old houses. The most common are kitchens and bathrooms, but as you can see here, we also do interiors for living rooms, dining rooms, etc.


Fortunately, many companies (see Resources) have come out with new and reproduction lines of wallpapers, stencils and other finishes that fit in well with this vintage architecture. Here, we've incorporated these finishes with the clients' existing furniture, china, and textiles.


A dramatic staircase is often a prominent feature in an Arts & Crafts house. Here, the open railing has geometric cutouts in the ballusters. The right shade of paint sets off natural woodwork. Appropriate artwork and accessories finish off the look.


In this greatroom/kitchen addition, the client wanted to display their vast collection of art pottery in an appropriate setting. We combined a traditional fireplace and piano window wall with more contemporary lighting above and in the cabinets to show off the pottery to best effect. The abundant white oak trim stained dark provides a dramatic contrast to the softer colors and sculpture of the pottery. See exterior photos…


Combining traditional details with a more contemporary space; a high ceiling and clerestory windows, provided more natural light for both the living area and the office mezzanine, from where this photo was taken. The french door leads out to a planted patio area with an overhead pergola. See exterior photos…
