This past month marked five years since we opened our location in the heart of Bucks County. Over the years, our Doylestown studio has grown alongside the firm, supporting an expanding portfolio that ranges from historic farmhouses and barns to new riverfront residences.   As we celebrate this milestone and continue building our presence in the region, we would like to extend our appreciation to the homeowners and design partners who have contributed to the studio’s growth along the way. Here’s to another five years!   #periodarchitecture #designingbeautifulplaces #buckscountypa #doylestown #newhopepa

A foyer transformed. This Gladwyne foyer finally looks the part. Paneled wainscoting, turned spindles, and a bold vestibule wallpaper return an Irvine & Durham home to its rightful grandeur.

Progress at Period: Triple Gable Arts & Crafts.   Turret tour! The circular stair tower is taking shape as construction advances in West Chester. Curved windows and a conical roof shape this three-story stair hall, introducing a sculptural design feature to the Arts & Crafts-style façade.   Visit the “In Construction” section of our website to see more progress photos of this new residence!   #periodarchitecture #designingbeautifulplaces #progressatperiod #turret #inconstruction

A little warmth, a turn of the clocks, and the first hints of spring have us thinking about time spent outdoors again. Spaces like this are designed to blur the line between indoors and out, bringing natural light, fresh air, and views of the landscape into everyday life. Even in the colder months, they offer a connection to the garden, the greenery, and the earth beyond the walls. A reminder that with thoughtful design, a sense of the outdoors can be enjoyed year round.

Restoring the architectural character of a historic home is always an honor. For this Main Line estate in Gladwyne, we reimagined the primary bath as a serene retreat, replacing an uninspired layout with timeless finishes, custom millwork, and thoughtful detailing true to the home’s original craftsmanship. A quiet balance of transformation!

A mudroom designed to work hard while respecting the character of this historic Main Line manor. Custom built-ins provide durable storage for daily life, with proportions, materials, and detailing that feel original to the home rather than added on. Practical, orderly, and tailored for a busy family.

This Main Line dining room is clad in bleached white oak paneling with a built-in bar designed to feel original to the home while introducing warmth and brightness. Every decision was guided by the intention of the home’s original architects, the legendary Irvine & Durham. A thoughtful update for gathering, entertaining, and everyday life, honoring the past while welcoming what’s next.

Sited discreetly behind the original 1925 home, the Assisi Carriage House enhances the beauty of the property while improving its functionality for the homeowners. The new ancillary structure creates space for modern-day luxuries such as a two-car garage and a second-story art gallery.   Photography: @angleeyephotography Construction: @ectbuilders   #periodarchitecture #designingbeautifulplaces #carriagehouse #artsandcraftsmovement #tudorstyle
