Making this beautiful home on the historic register livable in today's world was our goal. We began by updating AC and plumbing systems and went on to repair the kitchen and bathrooms and refurbish floors. Tax credits also allowed Sinn Design • Build, to take out walls, add a powder room and make the spacious home functional. Intricate windows, elegant lighting and unique flooring helped complete the gorgeous rooms. Although the homeowners were experienced with "non design build" remodeling, this time they opted for design build, trusting we would create customized rooms based on their needs and budget and design truly livable, beautiful spaces.

A beautiful home in an ideal location led the homeowners to Countryside. However, the space did not quite meet their needs, and they wondered whether to tear down or remodel. The homeowners began working with Sinn Design • Build before they even bought the home, and the design build process led them to create functional, beautiful spaces in their home through remodeling. An addition was added to the master bedroom, and ceilings were heightened and coffered. Beautiful custom features were incorporated into the open, updated kitchen. Creating the kitchen as the hub of the home allowed spaces for the family to enjoy life and entertain guests. Reorganizing the space into purposeful, open and inviting rooms made the home livable and comfortable as well as elegant. Working with design build gave the homeowners the opportunity to live in a great location without having to tear down the beautiful original home.

This homeowner is one of our repeat customers (groupie, we like to call them). This is the third addition/remodel Sinn has done for him and probably not the last. In this project, Sinn blew out the back of the house and built a beautifully sunny breakfast and hearth room. Sinn rearranged the space in the kitchen/power room by opening up the two rooms. This took some convincing. Now, however, the homeowner is so glad that he did. He said sometimes he comes downstairs in the morning and looks around the room and can't believe he lives there. The dark maple cabinets mixed in with the lighter paint and glazed cabinets create a warm feeling in the kitchen area. Sinn also added a terrace and reworked the entire backyard. Prior to this renovation, Sinn built a master bath and laundry room addition, and tore down and rebuilt a sunroom.

They fell in love with this 1928 home in Ladue but knew it didn't have the features or the space they needed to support their love of entertaining. Just before they bought the house, Sinn preformed an on-the-spot design assessment to quickly gauge whether it made more sense to remodel and add on or to buy new. After the young family decided to remodel, Sinn built a "house" between their main home and the carriage house which incorporated a master bedroom suite, breakfast room, upper- and lower-level family room, outside veranda, Viking Barbeque center and a beautiful 44-by-22-foot electric-blue pool. The focal point of the home flowed naturally and symmetrically out into a beautifully detailed extended entertainment patio. Great care was given to seamlessly integrate the home's original Mediterranean style with the new addition, giving it an elegant and authentic look. Stylish bright colors, mosaic tiles and the clay-tiled roof are some of the details that made this makeover one of a kind.

When they bought their circa 1960 home in Ladue, the homeowners knew that drastic interior and exterior renovations were needed to meet their family's lifestyle. Starting with the home's exterior, Sinn added character with a distinctive stone and brick facade, wing walls and a turret. These renovations, coupled with the old cobblestone driveway, completely transformed the home's exterior. As for interior renovations, Sinn focused on creating inviting yet spacious living areas, as well as updating the kitchen. While adding square footage to the home, open rooms filled with gorgeous details were designed. For example, the private breakfast room features a colonnade, which differentiates hearth room from the walkway. In the library and master bedroom, coffered ceilings added subtle refinement. Domes were added in the master bath to create an illusion of height. These custom interior details, along with the exterior transformation, created an inspired home that truly reflects the homeowners' lifestyle.
