Classic Henry Klein Design Renovation

The founder of our firm, Henry Klein, de­signed this house in 1954. A few years later Henry com­pleted an ad­di­tion to the res­i­dence. The cur­rent own­ers wanted fur­ther ex­pan­sion, main­tain­ing as much of the orig­i­nal de­sign as pos­si­ble, while bring­ing the home up-to-date with mod­ern fin­ishes.

The pro­ject brought two small ad­di­tions, kitchen en­large­ment, en­clo­sure of the car­port, and mod­ern im­prove­ments through­out the struc­ture. Also in­cluded in the pro­ject were en­ergy retrofits, mak­ing the home more ef­fi­cient.

“We used HKP architects for a total remodel of a mid-century house we purchased. It was important for us to keep the integrity of the original home, but update it to our needs and lifestyle. HKP did an excellent job of designing the remodel – providing structural expertise, incorporating our ideas, presenting options in the design and the reuse of original materials, suggesting new materials and finishes, and helping us visualize the completed project; and of managing the remodel – managing the contractor, monitoring the budget and timeline, and providing documentation on all decisions. HKP’s experience with ways to make our home more energy efficient was also very important to us. The partner and associate who worked directly on our project were so wonderful to work with – professional, knowledgeable, imaginative, detailed, and delightful. We wouldn’t have the “new-old” home we love without them.”
