ADKINS RESIDENCE
Residential Design Historical Remodel
The design for Kris and Valerie Adkin’s 1888 Brownstone emphasized the historic charm of the home while updating it to fit Kris and Valerie’s aesthetic and modern lifestyle. In addition to design updates, the Adkins requested an updated space plan that better suited their needs while creating a more open plan in the public areas of the home to enjoy the space with family and friends.
