1743 John Rousse House
A colonial home in Newport, RI’s Point neighborhood was a total restoration effort that spanned 11 months. The structure and mechanicals were upgraded to modern standards, while maintaining the original aesthetics of the home. The textures used on both the floors and walls were considered during the selection process to ensure that the home exuded an understated elegance while providing a comfortable classic casualness.
The garden and blue stone patio were a key addition to the property, as well as the large loft shed with workbench and outdoor shower. The perfect stage for a summer party or small gathering with friends.
Brooklyn Heights Brownstone
A complete conversion of a dated 1865 third floor corner unit in a Brooklyn Height brownstone was completed in four months. The flooring systems were all updated and walls were reconfigured for modern living and comfort. The original fireplace was replaced and lined for safety and aesthetics. Custom millwork was used extensively in the library, living room and bedroom closet office. Outside views and heating efficiency were improved by upgrading all 10 windows.
The design of the apartment reflects suite living in one of the finest hotels. The desired effect was attained through the elegant use of wood paneling, a clean black and white color palette and the extensive use of subway and beautiful faucet fixtures in the kitchen and bathroom.
Newport Beach Cottage
This project was started in January 2019 and was completed in July 2019. The total renovation of the property started with the clearing of numerous trees and a complete internal demolition of the home. All rooms were reconfigured, new floors were installed and the addition of window dormers and a front porch all add to the cottage aesthetic of the new design.
The Trevett School
This project was started in October 2019 and completed in August 2020. Originally built prior to 1796 and stood at the corner of Barney Street and Mount Vernon Street. It was the first integrated school house in Newport from 1805 owned and taught by Eleazor Trevett, a schoolmaster. The Trevett School was discontinued some time in the 1820’s and rented to the Catholic church in 1828 to be the first Catholic church in Rhode Island.
