Residential

The Owners, a young married couple with a small business, wanted a sustainable modern ‘Dwell House’ for their lot in South St. Louis.

The interior includes an open floor plan, ample natural light and tall ceilings with a loft feel. On the first floor, stairs, bath, laundry, closets, and utility are banked on one wall to allow the kitchen, dining and living room flowing together and be wide open. A bright breezeway connects to a 4-car garage.

The 2nd floor includes the master bedroom, a guest room and an open office which can later be converted to a child’s bedroom. The open feel is enhanced with white walls and light stain groove ¾” oak flooring was installed throughout.

The exterior, with veneer brick and metal panels, was designed to have the modern lines the owners desired yet tastefully contrast the neighboring 1920’s bungalows.

Sustainable design features include recyclable metal panels, bamboo floors, energy star appliances, high efficiency windows, recyclable materials for the deck and fences, minimizing waste during construction and most importantly location.

The city location eliminated the homeowners’ commute to work and other activities, diminishing their carbon footprint.

This growing family of 8 noticed that their existing roof on their 1960’s home was sagging. A roof repair project quickly expanded into a third floor addition that added three bedrooms to the house.

The owners wanted a master plan for their anticipated improvements. Included was a carriage house with 2nd floor entertainment room, an enlarged deck with outdoor kitchen, and an updated garden with dipping pool, new patio layout and sport court. The project is still on the boards.

We worked closely with the owner to develop a custom house for a site in Huntleigh. This was to be a very large home taking advantage of prominent views on the site. The owner in the end decided to purchase an existing home rather than build.

The couple wanted to enlarge their master bedroom suite and kitchen area. The style of the new addition matches the existing architecture. This project also included in-ground pool.

The addition was to feel ‘southern’ for this couple, originally from the south. It includes a large family room, wrap around veranda, wine cellar, radiant heat and renovated kitchen.

Killeen Studio Architects served as developer and designer for the Historic Renovation of this 1860s home in Benton Park. We respected the original architecture and detail but added a 2nd floor, master bath and closet for a more marketable home. | 1210 SF

A 1980s pool house received a new front porch and interior renovation. A new patio was added with fire pit adjacent to the pool and the pool house. The entire design was to match the architecture of the original 1920 mansion.
