Creating a home from a Quonset Hut is not a new idea. But Quonset Huts can be dark. We turned the hut so that the arch opened to the south to maximize sunlight.

A utilitarian building like a Quonset Hut can look cheap. Mixing shapes, materials, and changing the orientation elevates a simple structure.

The front door is recessed into the supporting wall of the Quonset Hut for an unexpected negative space.

The entry immediately presents a rich palette of textures and shapes to draw the eye in.

The living room is spacious, with room allotted for a suspended fireplace for those in cooler climates.

The first floor offers open concept living, with space for intimate gatherings and large parties.

A u-shaped kitchen offers expansive work surfaces and ample storage.

A dainty half bath is tucked under the stairs just off the kitchen and opposite the large laundry/utility room.

The stairs may be the best part of this house, with the ceiling curving far over head. It's the perfect place for a statement light fixture.

There are many ways to arrange the owners suite. Shown here, a queen bed is tucked against the curved wall with a seating area opposite.

Viewed from the bed, the seating area leads to the en suite bath.

A bold house needs bold tile.

Vanity for two.

The play of materials continues in the bedrooms, with maple floors, metal ceiling, clean drywall, and wool felt light fixtures.

Nothing transforms simple elements quite like a tall ceiling.

Crisp, white and clean--with a blue hexagon floor to spice things up.

Because of the curved roof and a room's placement along that curve, each space is unique. This bedroom is the same size as the other secondary bedroom, but feels much airier.

This house was loved to an aesthetic death in the 1950s. Bringing it back from the dead was a labor of love, but well worth the effort.

We were honored to receive the Historic Preservation award from the Metro Historic Zoning Commission award in 2018 for this home.

The front door opens to a formal living room. Though no longer functional, the fireplace is the focal point of the room. But the pièce de résistance must be the goose down light fixture.

The music room sits just behind the living room.

Twelve-foot tall ceilings, eight-foot tall windows, and a pair of skinny French doors.

Full inlay cabinetry in walnut with painted face frames, .

The house was too long for a fully open concept floor plan, so a sitting area was carved out of the kitchen so serve a modern family lifestyle.

Bright and airy, the owners' suite is on the main floor, tucked away behind the kitchen for privacy.

When renovating a historic home, it is critical to not skimp on the window package. Here, a historically inspired three-lite grid pattern in a tall window captures what we love about historic homes.

A custom vanity in walnut and purple heart.

A slipper soaking tub and a chair by the fireplace.

There is something so elegant about a tall, skinny door.

Double master shower in Biltmore marble.

The guest bedroom is like a dreamy cocoon.

There's nothing quite as decadent as a dramatic staircase at the back of the house: the unexpected surprise of a perfectly curved stair.

Leaving behind the elegance of the downstairs, upstairs is for relaxing.

Vintage furniture, an art table and even an indoor swing.

Waste not, want not. That's especially true of space. This eave was just begging for a daybed.

The playroom is flanked by a child's room on both sides. Both are bright with plenty of room for toys and pillow forts.

Bright colors, playful tile and built-ins that maximize space.

The toilet is hidden behind the shower wall for flexible use.

On the opposite side of the playroom is another child's bedroom.

It too has plenty of space for all the adventures of childhood.

The side porch is such a delighter. Accessed from the dining room, it facilitates an easy flow when entertaining, and is the perfect spot for enjoying an evening glass of wine with a few friends.

The flagstone patio is laid in a Versailles bond pattern to continue the elegance outdoors. But it's a place for relaxing, soaking up the evening.
