When our client first approached Axiom Landscape and Home Improvement, they had a simple but powerful goal: transform a “good enough” two-story home in Easthampton into a bright, warm retreat from the hustle and rush of everyday life. We believed in taking the time to plan and design thoroughly before starting any work. The result? A jaw-dropping renovation that blends modern openness with handcrafted details—truly the best of both worlds.

Phase One: Elevating the Second Floor

Dormer Addition: To bring in natural light and maximize space, we began by adding a dormer on the second floor.
Open Floor Plan with Walkable Glass Panels: The once-traditional second floor is now airy and dynamic. Glass panels not only let sunlight stream through but also add a modern, architectural flair.
Cathedral Ceilings with Exposed Beams: These soaring ceilings create a sense of grandeur while showcasing the home’s rustic character.
Glass Walls and Doors: The new glass elements around the stairwell keep the space visually connected, making the entire floor feel larger and brighter.
Hand-Hewed Stair Treads and Hand-Carved Banister: Each stair tread was meticulously shaped by hand, while the banister and newel posts were custom carved, giving the entire renovation a one-of-a-kind artisanal touch.

Phase Two: Revitalizing the First Floor

Once the upstairs was complete, we turned our attention to the heart of the home—its first-floor living space and kitchen.

New Wood Floors: We replaced old flooring with rich, warm wood that complements the home’s open layout and bright ambiance.
Custom Concrete Hearth: Designed to showcase a newly installed woodstove and pizza oven, this hearth is both functional and eye-catching—a perfect gathering spot during cooler months.
One-of-a-Kind Wooden Light Bars: Over several weeks, our team handcrafted unique wooden light bars that circle the entire downstairs. These custom fixtures balance form and function, tying the space together with a soft, inviting glow.
