Robin & Doug Clark
A seamless transition from 1929 to present was the goal in this 1600 sq. ft. remodel in the historic Dundee neighborhood. KRT faced the task of blending the beauty and character of this home with the comfort and efficiency of modern design. The entire main floor was demolished to create an open floorplan for this family. The oak floors, swirl pattern in the ceiling drywall, trim, crown molding, doors and columns were all recreated to match the original 1929 design. Modern elements including granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances were also incorporated into the new design.

During the remodel, one wall in the family room was uncovered and the original 1929 brick was found. KRT Construction and the homeowner decided to leave this intact in order to once again preserve the rich history of this home. On the exterior of the home, the main entrance was relocated and designed to match the 1929 exterior. An outdoor brick column porch was added on the south side of the home complete with tiles that are an exact continuation of the Spanish-tile roof. A stamped concrete walk that matches the existing red brick finishes this picture-perfect home.
