Project Brief

The owner of this jewel of a house wanted an outstanding addition and house renovation while maintaining the home’s spatial flow. The successful design also kept the important existing scale and detail of the original modern house resulting in an 825 square foot seamless addition plus 160 square feet of connecting hallway.

The client needed a combination TV room, sun porch, kitchenette, storage, socializing area and guest bedroom with views, while sparing her very mature oak tree and a specimen ornamental maple. Karp Associates accomplished her entire programmatic plan by employing savvy space planning executed in an environmentally friendly manner. The use of an 8-foot cantilever, floor-to-ceiling glass with built-in electric shades, built-in furniture, small built-in appliances and a television that disappears into the floor were a few of the elements we employed.

Working with Arnold and his team of professionals at Karp Associates is such a rewarding experience, and I think it's because they are all so passionate about what they do. Since the conclusion of our first project meeting, I knew we had found a special group of people that represent excellence; something we all strive for in business and in life.

They were a wonderful liaison with the architect and other subcontractors. When changes needed to be made they were on top of them and always one step ahead.

Always professional, they actually listen to their clients needs and unlike many other builders, they keep the project on budget and finish on time. The end result is a beautifully appointed, high-quality build that is top-notch construction.

Over the course of four years, thorough several phases, Karp Associates gave us the house of our dreams. Arnold is incredibly talented at what he does. He knows all the right people and is incredibly easy to work with. He has given us countless recommendations for things other than on the present job. We have two rooms left to renovate and are waiting to begin any day. I know that they will be completed stress-free with the style and professionalism we have grown to admire in Arnold.

Lee Ann Mistretta

It was wonderful to work with Karp Associates. We were new to the area and he helped us connect with the professionals we needed starting with the architect. We worked on a master plan that was implemented in 3 phases. All the employees were prompt, courteous, clean and professional. It was a good experience.
