The Garden Arch

The Garden Arch is a full-scale renovation that reimagines the home from the basement through the second floor, transforming its existing layout into a more functional and cohesive environment for modern living.

At the lower level, the basement is completely reconfigured to introduce a series of purposeful, livable spaces. A new playroom provides a flexible area for family use, while a dedicated exercise room supports everyday wellness and activity. These additions turn what was once underutilized space into an integral extension of the home’s living environment.

In parallel with the interior improvements, the project includes a full replacement of all mechanical systems, bringing the home up to current standards for efficiency, comfort, and reliability.

Together, these updates create a comprehensive transformation—one that balances thoughtful design with critical system upgrades, resulting in a home that is both elevated in function and refined in form.
