Additions

Modern Farmhouse Homestead

This contemporary farmhouse was originally a 1970 Cape Cod with several hodge-podge additions as well as the soaring 1985 Great Room addition. The new open concept layout of this Legacy Home includes the completely remodeled Great Room, 4-beds, 3-baths, home office and library, spacious dining room, a chef's kitchen with large walk-in pantry, mudroom with dog-wash shower, and a massive wrap-around porch and deck overlooking their stunning acreage. The property includes 6-car garage, working barn, outbuildings, pond with waterfall and bridge, an enclosed porch with pizza oven, gardens, and a fantastic old-growth-tree-lined drive, creating an idyllic location for this growing family.

Historic Farmhouse Addition & Renovation

This 1891 Historic Farmhouse had several previous poorly-executed additions that no longer met the needs of the homeowners.  The previous additions were demolished entirely, with new work expanding to a slightly larger footprint behind the house, as well as the space between the house and existing Garage.

New 1st floor spaces include Mudroom, expanded Kitchen, Pantry, Hall Bath, and Family Room. New 2nd floor addition includes an Owners Bed Suite, Hall Bath and Laundry. A lovely attic Home Office and expansive Playroom over the Garage round out the new work.  We are proud of this total transformation for living spaces for the family while maintaining the original home entirely and preserving the original character, charm, and Hammerschmidt brick (which was exposed and highlighted in several parts of the home) of the historically-designated home. 

Island inspiration

This 1990s brick home had decent square footage and a massive front yard, but no way to enjoy it.  Each room needed an update, so the entire house was renovated and remodeled, and an addition was put on over the existing garage to create a symmetrical front.  The old brown brick was painted a distressed white.  

The 500sf 2nd floor addition includes 2 new bedrooms for their teen children, and the 12'x30' front porch lanai with standing-seam metal roof is a nod to the homeowners' love for the Islands.  Each room is beautifully appointed with large windows, wood floors, white walls, white beadboard ceilings, glass doors and knobs, and interior wood details reminiscent of Hawaiian plantation architecture.  

The kitchen was remodeled to increase width and flow, and a new laundry / mudroom was added in the back of the existing garage.  The master bath was completely remodeled.  Every room is filled with books, and shelves, many made by the homeowner.

Tri-level Transformation

The homeowners of this traditional 1960 tri-level desperately wanted a large family room with vaulted ceiling and fireplace, open kitchen / dining rooms, and a new Owner's Bedroom Suite. By rotating the entry to the existing garage to the front, we created space for a new focal point entry and a large family room addition.  The Owner's Suite above the existing kitchen, living and dining rooms. Stairs were extended to the new level and accented with a series of square windows at the upper level, allowing light to filter down throughout the other levels below. A large trellis-covered deck was added to the side of the home, with access from the kitchen.

Midcentury Prairie Expansion

The homeowner had previously updated their mid-century home to match their Prairie-style preferences - completing the Kitchen, Living and DIning Rooms.  This project included a complete redesign of the Bedroom wing, including Master Bedroom Suite, guest Bedrooms, and 3 Baths; as well as the Office/Den and Dining Room, all to meld the mid-century exterior with expansive windows and a new Prairie-influenced interior.  Large windows (existing and new to match ) let in ample daylight and views to their expansive gardens.

Testimonials

I’ve always dreamed of having a clean, modernist home, and I’m happy to say that Alice and her team at Atelier Cohen led the way to making that dream a reality! I couldn’t be more happy with the project, my house looks like it could be featured in a Kinfolk magazine. I expressed my wishes of having a clean, natural interior aesthetic and they truly delivered – the natural light in my newly designed home is to die for. They also helped me turn my dated, drab living room into a spacious and cozy space in which I can’t wait to host a party. I couldn’t recommend Alice more, if you’re looking for easy collaboration and top-notch design, you have to reach out to them!

I’ve worked with Alice on a few renovation projects and am still floored by her dedication to design and space planning. Never have I experienced a hiccup or missed communication with Atelier Cohen, and home projects tend to create those sorts of problems! They are professional, approachable, and innovative in a way that anyone with any level of home renovating or staging experience will feel like they are in good hands.

Alice’s eye, advice, and service is extremely rare in this business. If you get the chance to work with them, don’t think twice about it!

I had the pleasure of working with Alice on redecorating my childhood home that hadn’t been touched up since I was a teen in the 80’s. I knew it needed a huge refresh aesthetically, but I wasn’t sure where to start. I had a consultation with Alice about my hazy ideas and she was able to understand my tastes and needs after just one chat! The whole design process was so streamlined and thorough that my fears of things going awry totally vanished after the first few meetings. She walked me through every step of the process, from sharing sketches and moodboards to purchasing the final pieces of furniture and decoration. Working with Alice at Atelier Cohen has got to be my greatest investment, I highly recommend their services.
