When a local restaurateur set out to find the perfect home for his family in North Arlington, drawn by top-rated schools for his kids, he didn’t want something cookie-cutter. He found a 1970s original, untouched and full of potential, and partnered with us to strip it down to the studs and rebuild it into the home he’d always envisioned.

“We couldn’t be happier. We are now able to sit all three kids at the counter where they can eat. We’re able to entertain and are really excited to have our kids grow up in a house with a kitchen like this.”

Our team created detailed 3D renderings and ran extensive structural calculations to navigate the complexity of this whole-home transformation.
Every floor was reimagined, from the roofline down to the basement, ensuring the design honored the homeowner’s vision for open, functional living and world-class entertaining.
A 25-foot pocket iron beam replaced load-bearing walls, opening the entire main floor into a seamless entertaining space where private chefs can cook while guests gather around.
The former second-level cigar room was transformed into a full master suite complete with a spa-worthy bathroom and custom closets, giving the homeowner a true escape within his own home.
Major structural work on the third-floor mansard roof unlocked a dedicated kids' floor with three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and an in-level laundry room, so the family's daily routine runs smoothly.
A fully finished basement with a custom-built entertainment center and private sauna gives the family a go-to space for relaxation and hosting on any scale.
Roof Troopers by WISA installed premium synthetic slate tiles, giving the exterior a timeless, high-end look.
A fresh coat of paint on the existing brick modernized the home's curb appeal overnight.
Openings were added and removed to improve natural light and flow throughout.
A cleverly converted coat closet now houses a convenient powder room for guests.
A new fireplace with countertop-matching materials creates a cohesive, warm focal point between the living and kitchen areas.
Specialty flooring throughout ensures each level stays peaceful, no matter what's happening above or below.
Integrated audio throughout every room lets the family set the mood from anywhere with a tap.
What was once a dated 1970s house is now 3,600 square feet of custom living, purpose-built for a family that loves great food, great company, and great design. Our team took it down to the bones and built back a home that works for every member of the family — from chef-worthy dinner parties on the main floor to movie nights in the basement to peaceful mornings in the master suite.
Your dream home is closer than you think. Let’s bring your vision to life.
