In conjunction with Meghan Heeter, Castle Design:
Striking a balance between contemporary tidiness and timeless details, this handsome 100-year-old residence sought to add rhythm and sophistication to the first-floor layout. For this father-and-sons trio, having a home that put entertaining at the focal point and incorporated their love of music was essential when reimagining this historical home.

Sophi Award - Residential Historical Restoration/Preservation
In conjunction with Studio Lark Architects:
This mid-century modern residence - originally completed in 1960 by esteemed St. Louis architect Isadore Shank - underwent an extensive renovation to update the existing, tired interior. The design concept endeavored to preserve Shank's signature architectural vocabulary while appropriately upgrading the residence for contemporary living.

Sophi Award - Residential Interior Design, Kitchen over 300 SF
In conjunction with Studio Lark Architects:
The primary objective for this kitchen renovation was to provide functionally optimized spaces for cooking and dining and to create openness and connectivity between the kitchen and adjacent areas. The existing residence - originally completed in 1960 and designed by noted St. Louis architect Isadore Shank - provides a mid-century modern architectural envelope, compelling a contextually appropriate renovation design.

How a St. Louis couple rescued and reimagined a dream home in Ladue
In conjunction with Studio Lark Architects:
Friends of the couple had walked through the house and, intimidated by the prospect of taking on a historic home, turned away. Others suggested that it might be just right for Marcie and Charlie Vantine, two lawyers with a passion for design.
2022 Architect and Designer Award Winner
In conjunction with Studio Lark Architects:
A bright, airy kitchen serves as the main entry and gathering place in this newly constructed guesthouse. It was conceived as a space where visitors could flow freely in and out, with full-height glass doors that enhance the feeling of openness. The team chose porcelain tile flooring. Bright whites, soft tonal grays, and vibrant aqua and orange accents yield a fun yet also serene atmosphere. A live-edge walnut dining table with a marble waterfall-edge island provides a dramatic contrast to the cool, crisp interior.
