This beautiful East Louisville Colonial home was built in 1966 and purchased by the Johnsons in 2013. Not long after move-in, it was determined new windows were in order, the first project of several over a ten-year span that would transform the home.
Last month we showed you this beautiful renovation and new construction designed by Emily Paprocki of Rock Paper Hammer, where every window was replaced in the house. Here, in the second part of this case study, we’re going to take a look at the wide array of doors that were chosen for the project.
When this homeowner decided to look for her “forever home”, she brought esteemed Louisville architect Emily Paprocki of Rock Paper Hammer along to help. Paprocki’s vision for the potential of houses provided exactly the insight the homeowner had hoped for. They found a home in a beautiful neighborhood on the outskirts of New Albany, Indiana, where the views were some of the best in the area.
When the homeowner moved into her current home with her family in 2006, she set out to renovate this charming St. Matthews home to make it her own. Actually, it already was her own in a sense; it was her childhood home that her father built in the 1960s. Her father was an esteemed commercial builder in Louisville who took extra care when building his own home.
The garage is usually an afterthought on the renovation priority list. But not for this homeowner, who planned on upgrading the original garage and driveway of her St. Matthews Cape Cod since she moved there. While the garage was usable and utilitarian, it did not complement the cottage-style aesthetic of the rest of the house.
It’s an unusual problem to have: how do you make two distinct houses complement one another? This is the question posed by our customer when undertaking an atypical remodeling project to join two homes with a harmonious outdoor entertaining space.
The owners of this beautiful Riverwood home had been planning their first-floor remodel for years. The 1960’s Cape Cod had an overabundance of exposed brick, a lack of light, and a closed floor plan, making the house feel dark and heavy.
The homeowner wanted to create a welcoming outdoor area that would harmonize with their existing indoor living space. They also wanted to do away with the unsuitable screened porch. Thoughtful details and unique elements tie the project together.
Armed with ideas and a desire to bring the home back to its original glory, the owners worked with architect Emily Fisher and builder TM Faversham of Deep Creek Builders to resurrect this gem.
While looking for their first home together, Brad and Amber Abell found a classic Highlands jewel that needed a LOT of polish.
