House in Villanova

Villanova, PA

This project involved renovations and additions to an historic carriage house in suburban Philadelphia. New construction included a family room, kitchen, playroom, and home theater, as well as a garage with guest apartment above connected to the main house by a breezeway. Renovations included conversion of the former kitchen space to a formal dining room and the complete renovation of the master bedroom suite. The design of the house was influenced greatly by the historical significance of the existing structure, and was required to comply with local historic ordinance requirements.
