Bought for the view, enough square feet for several houseguests and new grandchildren, this house was renovated over two years. The main salon’s wall of windows and doors was demolished and symmetrically aligned with the entry axis, bedroom suites were privatized for quiet rest, home office added, kitchen and pool terrace updated, and all lighting & plumbing replaced. All surfaces, furnishings, and art on the property were reselected by Tommy for the large compound to thoughtfully flow and relax.

Under the guiding hands of his former boss Jeffrey Dungan, Tommy served as the project architect for this six-bedroom, nine-bath Alabama house. A large addition-renovation project that demolished the neighboring property and consumed its footprint, the stone and cedar shake house was designed and built over two years. Doug Davis of Hannon Douglas designed and furnished the interiors.

Working for Todd Klein and Edward Wendt, Tommy served as the project architect for the recreation of this breathtaking penthouse. Every surface and content of the apartment’s concrete shell was removed and recreated, floor plan reorganized, systems replaced, and craftspeople guided for the three-year project to ultimately produce this refined aerie. Todd Klein designed and furnished the interiors.

Designed in high French Eclectic style in 1928 by Stratton Hammon, this house has continually been updated, redesigned, and maintained by its owners and Tommy for twenty years. Underused formal salons were made comfortable for modern family life, bathrooms sensibly renovated, closets expanded, kitchens modernized, new art & genuine rugs collected, original lighting & furniture restored, and authentic 1920s materials and techniques replicated to serve the house for another hundred years.

Designed by John Bacon Hutchings as the carriage house to a future Kentucky estate, Tommy has helped the owners for ten years. They have thoughtfully recreated baths in original tack rooms & the house’s dairy, removed load-bearing walls to create a large living room (from what had been four horse stalls), and replicated original historic metals, slate, doors & windows, lighting, and all finishes.

A ground floor guest bedroom was without en suite bath and the main kitchen needed updating at this historic country farmhouse. Tommy designed the full bath addition to tuck beneath the existing copper front porch roof and redesigned the kitchen to suit family needs and contain the constant production of their busy hens, vegetable gardens, and fruit trees. Rodman Primack of RP Miller designed and furnished the interiors.

Charged with building a new house beneath old trees – while not seeing neighboring spec houses and hiding its own three-car garage, Tommy designed this six-bedroom, five-bath house with a false history of additions to reduce its size and feel approachable and friendly. An octagonal dining room, hidden master suite, two laundry rooms, and living room with twin fireplaces welcome the soon-to-be empty nesters to what functions as a large ranch house with ample private quarters for guests and future grandchildren.

Three floors, the rear terrace, and garden of this 1938 Tudor were gutted to suit the needs of a young family. By reorganizing all three floor plans – without adding a single new square foot – Tommy added three bedrooms (to five total), three new baths, a home gym, office, and open kitchen to the house. Custom windows, Amish-made cabinets, copper & ironwork, his & hers master closets, and all interior finishes were specified and completed in a six month renovation.

Built in 1871 and with its tiny kitchen, various small pantries, servants’ staircase, screened & sleeping porches all still intact before Tommy arrived, the clients wished for the landmarked Italianate house to function better for large, catered social occasions and everyday family life. With the blessing of the Architectural Review Board, windows and doors were replicated, porches enclosed and properly conditioned, kitchen and pantries expanded all within the main house volume. The servants’ stair was removed, steel inserted to firmly hold the second floor, and all back-of-house areas of the main & carriage houses were modernized. Rodman Primack of RP Miller designed and furnished the interiors.
