Breeze Knoll Remodel
Westfield,
NJ
The clients had reservations about buying this house because of
its '80s asymmetrical contemporary style and beige colors, but when Curtiss
showed them sketches of what could be done, the clients put their trust in
their architect and purchased the house. Inspired by the stately homes of the
client's hometown, Clayton, Missouri, Curtiss Byrne's design, dramatically
changed the appearance of this house into classical Adams Style by adding a
portico, gable, dormers, dentils, new windows and exquisite interior moldings.
Even the existing brick veneer was removed and replaced with an oversized red
brick. Details such as "spider web" munt bars on the arched window, real hinges
on the dormers, and copper ice breaks on the roof complete the
transformation.

Master Suite Addition
Chesterfield, MO
This 985
sq. ft. master suite addition expanded an existing bedroom and added a new
luxury bathroom, walk-in-closets, an additional bedroom and a lower level
work-out room. Adding a large addition onto an existing linear residence
presented a design challenge. The solution included breaking up the horizontal
roof line with a new vertical element which took the form of a turret. A second
turret was added to the back of the house.

Finished Lower Level
Chesterfield, MO
As with all
lower level finishes, incorporating existing structural elements into a new
design presents a challenge. Decorative columns with inlaid tile define the
corners of the bar while also concealing the basement structural supports in
this 1,274 sq. ft. finished lower level. |

Finished Lower Level
St. Louis County, MO
Complete with a kitchen and a home theatre, this lower level was
transformed into a venue for entertaining and recreating. A large steel beam
with a thirty foot span eliminates the need for intermediate columns and allows
for an unobstructed view of the screen from almost every point in the lower
level. |
