Proven Results

Projects, start to finish.

A sample of recent work across kitchen and bath, additions, and whole-home renovation — each one run through the same True North Process.

Kitchen & Bath · Complete Transformation

A Galley Kitchen Opened Up

8-Week Project · Load-Bearing Wall Removal · Full Kitchen Rebuild
The finished kitchen: a large marble island with white cabinetry.

The homeowners came to us with a narrow galley kitchen closed off from the dining and living rooms. Our structural engineer confirmed a load-bearing wall could come down with a properly sized beam, and our design team built the new layout around a single large island.

What We Did

Removed the dividing wall and installed an engineered beam, relocated plumbing and electrical to support the new island, and installed custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and updated lighting throughout the connected space.

The Result

The kitchen, dining, and living areas now function as one open space, and the homeowners report the kitchen is where the family actually spends time again.

Addition · 400 Sq Ft

A Primary Suite Added Above the Garage

9 Weeks to Framing · Structural Engineering · Full Permit Package
The addition under construction, framed above the existing garage.

With a growing family and no room to expand the existing footprint, this homeowner needed square footage without moving. We assessed the existing garage structure and designed a second-story primary suite addition above it.

What We Did

Engineered and reinforced the existing garage structure to support a new second story, managed the full permitting process with the local building department, and built a primary suite with a walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom.

The Result

The home gained a private primary suite without touching its existing footprint, and the exterior was matched closely enough that it looks original to the house.

Whole-Home · Historic Renovation

A 1920s Home, Modernized Room by Room

6-Month Project · Full Mechanical Rewire · Historic Character Preserved
The renovated living space, bright and open with original character preserved.

This nearly century-old home needed a full mechanical and electrical overhaul, but the owners wanted to preserve its original trim, doors, and hardwood floors. We phased the project room by room so the family could stay in the home for most of the renovation.

What We Did

Replaced outdated wiring and plumbing throughout, restored original hardwood flooring and trim where possible, and updated the kitchen and two bathrooms with modern fixtures that match the home's original character.

The Result

A home that runs on modern systems while keeping the details that made the owners buy it in the first place.
