RESIDENTIAL & PRESERVATION

FEATURED PROJECT

KG’s reinvention of a former freestanding Talbots retail store was later adapted by the Bank of NY as their Morris County private banking home.

The winner of over a dozen national and local awards for building adaptation and sustainable practices, this geothermal heated and cooled home office is sited next to a legendary and now preserved farmland site, and tells us that reinvention can happen at all scales and all dimensions.

KG Headquarters

Private Residences

Imagine a sun-drenched coastal retreat built with weathered wood, or a grand concrete masterpiece that blurs the lines between art and home. We're the architects who make those unique visions a reality. No matter the style or location, each design is a journey we take with our clients, exploring their needs and dreams to create spaces that are truly theirs. From the New England coast to the Gulf's gentle shores, our homes stand as testaments to timeless design.

Preservation

There's a special magic in breathing new life into places where history lingers. As certified experts in historic restoration, we hold these projects close to our hearts. We meticulously revive buildings, transforming them to serve modern needs while honoring their past. Think a weathered factory reborn as airy office space with a rooftop view, or a stately home reborn as a haven for vulnerable children. Each project is a testament to our skill, and more importantly, our reverence for the stories these buildings hold.

Let us build your dream home or restore a piece of history.
