The Yardley Road Project: Reimagining a 1930s Colonial for its Next Century.

A thoughtful transformation of an existing Yardley home - combining acquisition strategy, architectural planning, design, construction, project leadership and market positioning within a single development.

The Opportunity

A compelling older Yardley home: solid bones, traditional architecture, mature surroundings and a lovely, historic neighborhood. Its layout, systems and finishes, however, no longer reflected the expectations of a modern family. Before designing individual rooms, we designed the overall project with consideration for:

  • existing architecture

  • likely buyer

  • neighborhood and location

  • potential finished square footage

  • bedroom/bath count

  • construction requirements

  • municipal constraints

  • budget

  • resale positioning

The Transformation

  • Before

  • 3 bedrooms | 1.5 baths

  • 2,272 SF

  • Dated 1930s home

  • Aging systems

  • Underutilized upper level

  • Older kitchen + baths

  • Limited modern functionality

  • After

  • 5 bedrooms | 2 full + 2 half baths

  • 2,850 SF

  • Natural gas conversion

  • New kitchen + baths

  • New plumbing, electrical + HVAC

  • New doors, windows, insulation + roof

  • New hardwood on first floor + restored hardwood on second floor

  • Updated exterior + freshly groomed landscaping

Design + Planning

Existing conditions → floor plan → 3D models → photorealistic rendering → completed space
