COLUMBUS, OHIO
This 2,619 square foot historic home built in 1906 had an existing kitchen
with a small and disjointed footprint, lacking flow, countertop workspace and
storage. The existing formal dining room was mainly used for extra kitchen
storage, a home office and space for the kids' homework and crafts.
Reconfiguration of the first floor layout included relocating the kitchen, adding
a powder room and creating workspace and a mudhall off the back entrance.
Attention to historic architectural details was important to the clients and is
reflected in the design plan with finish selections. Original transoms, doors
and trim were reused; and additional trim was replicated.

Working in tandem with the Historical Review Board, this circa 1912
Craftsman home's essence was kept intact through the continuation of
characteristics such as deep eaves with exposed wood rafter tails,
tapered columns, and geometric designs in the windows. The original
kitchen was opened up to the family room and a discrete staircase was
situated so it did not interfere with the flow of the new great room or
obstruct the exterior façade. Oversized casing and baseboard was
matched in kind throughout the space, as was the original wood flooring.

The main entrance of this house was moved to the side by a previous owner.
The clients wanted to return the entrance to the front. This required approval
from the city agency that oversees historic homes. Approval was contingent on
returning specific historic architectural details that had been removed. These
included replacing the brick columns with historically accurate wood columns;
replacing the short windows with full-height windows; installing pediments over
the doors and windows; and replacing the doors with a door that was more in
line with the period during which the house was built, approximately 1910.
