In Phoenix’s iconic Encanto district, this renovation and 720sf addition project strikes a careful balance between honoring the past and embracing the present.
Guided by Historic Preservation standards, the refreshed front façade preserves the character and charm of the original home, maintaining its place within the historic fabric of the neighborhood. A successful variance application allowed for a slightly larger footprint, meeting the client’s living requirements.
At the heart of the home, a new modern kitchen becomes the central gathering space—bright, open, and deeply connected to family life. Thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining, it anchors the home with warmth and functionality.
A new master bedroom addition at the rear reimagines the layout to meet the needs of a young and growing family, offering space, comfort, and contemporary livability while remaining sensitive to the home’s architectural roots. The result is a seamless blend of tradition and transformation—revitalizing a historic home for the next generation.
