Wingdale
Project Brief
Updating this 1940’s house became a complete house renovation. The client’s focus on details throughout the house started with the kitchen remodel including new counter tops, updated lights, new wood floor with radiant heat and the all important pizza oven version 3. The updating included lower level bar, theater and powder room with unique and striking wallpaper. Master bath work included the specialty stone tub, walk-in shower, and custom curved vanities with light coves. Other work included the details outlined above in every possible space. Another outstanding feature throughout the house are the corner windows that are mitered glass to help enhance the views. The importance of the view was additionally highlighted by the extensive use of glass guardrails on all the decks.
For this New York family to come out to the country---its wasn’t about the renovation—it was about all the details. With a view of the Ten Mile River on the NY – Connecticut border, and the farm they own across the river, this NYC family decided to renovate and restore this architecturally significant Craftsman Style house and guest house on the property. After almost 40 years of renovation and new construction Karp Associates Inc was about to get an education on “cool stuff” you “just have to have.”

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.

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.
