Saikley Architects
This beautiful 1881 Alameda Victorian cottage, wonderfully embodying the Transitional Gothic-Eastlake era, had most of its original features intact. Our clients, one of whom is a painter, wanted to preserve the beauty of the historic home while modernizing its flow and function.
From several small rooms, we created a bright, open artist’s studio. We dug out the basement for a large workshop, extending a new run of stair in keeping with the existing original staircase. While keeping the bones of the house intact, we combined small spaces into large rooms, closed off doorways that were in awkward places, removed unused chimneys, changed the circulation through the house for ease and good sightlines, and made new high doorways that work gracefully with the eleven foot high ceilings. We removed inconsistent picture railings to give wall space for the clients’ art collection and to enhance the height of the rooms. From a poorly laid out kitchen and adjunct utility rooms, we made a large kitchen and family room with nine-foot-high glass doors to a new large deck. A tall wood screen at one end of the deck, fire pit, and seating give the sense of an outdoor room, overlooking the owners’ intensively planted garden. A previous mismatched addition at the side of the house was removed and a cozy outdoor living space made where morning light is received. The original house was segmented into small spaces; the new open design lends itself to the clients’ lifestyle of entertaining groups of people, working from home, and enjoying indoor-outdoor living.

Salem NY renovation. This Victorian home was given a facelift with added charm from the area in which it represents. With a beautiful front porch, this house has tons of character from the beams, added details and overall history of the home.

Since the front yard is North-facing, shade-tolerant plants like hostas, ferns and yews will be great foundation plantings here. In addition to these, the Victorians were fond of palm trees, so these shade-loving palms are at home here during clement weather, but will get indoor protection during the winter. Photo credit: E.

This beautiful home in Westfield, NJ needed a little front porch TLC. Anthony James Master builders came in and secured the structure by replacing the old columns with brand new custom columns. The team created custom screens for the side porch area creating two separate spaces that can be enjoyed throughout the warmer and cooler New Jersey months.

We rebuilt the porch underneath the existing roof. It was shored up during construction, as the structure, roof membrane, ceiling and trim board were all in great condition. This included removing the old porch below, augering & pouring new footings, building the new porch floor structure, and then fitting in the permanent structural fiberglass columns to support it.
