MacKenzie Residence
Project:
MacKenzie Residence
Winston-Salem, NC
Square Feet:
2,500
Type:
Renovation of 1920's Georgian style architecture home
Contracted  to:

Modernize first floor interior including formal front hall with 3-story staircase, living room, sun room, kitchen with butler pantry, and half bath

Goals:

 - Create a mud room to catch coats, sports equipment and school books for family’s 3 children
 - Create a place for the children to study, a small office niche for professional mother and intimate parent-child reading nook
 - Create a multi-media living space for entertaining,  accommodating seating for 12
 - Create a bright colored contemporary interior, and showcase an extensive collection of artifacts from around the world

Challenges:

 - Create a contemporary interior respectful of traditional Georgian architecture
 - Selection of durable materials and finishes to withstand wear of 3 small children
 - Utilize isolated sun room space by cutting back one of its walls and opening the sun room to the living room
 - Transform an existing butler pantry into a mud room by adding an exterior door and building a staircase to the outside, and reworking storage
 

I welcome the opportunity to discuss your needs and present my capabilities.
