We’re proud to share that our Owings Mills kitchen renovation has earned top honors for Best Mid-Century Modern Renovation in the Baltimore Magazine Home & Design Awards . The project will be featured in the magazine’s April 2026 issue. What began as a necessary plumbing repair beneath the slab quickly evolved into something much larger—a full reimagining of a 1959 kitchen that the homeowners already loved. Rather than starting over, the vision centered on preserving the spirit of the original space while elevating its performance, materiality, and experience.

We are honored to share that one of our recent projects has been featured on the cover of Kitchen & Bath Design News as part of their April feature, Next-Level Showers . This issue explores how the modern shower has evolved beyond utility into something far more experiential. A place for restoration, efficiency, and daily ritual. We are proud to see our work included in this broader conversation around how thoughtful design can elevate even the most routine moments. Led by designer Stephanie Twarowski, the featured primary bathroom reflects a shift we are seeing across many of our projects. Clients are placing greater emphasis on the shower as the focal point of the space, prioritizing both performance and atmosphere.
