Restoration

The Martin Home
Formerly the "New Century Club"
Historic Richland Tennessee

Project Began: October 1999
Project Complete: February 2000

This Chrysalis Award - Winner of the Best Whole House Renovation in 2000, began after The New Century Club, a ladies bridge/philanthropic club for five decades plus, sold the property to the Martins. Previous renovations had left multiple doors and window heights, small partitioned spaces, and through the wall AC units. Total system replacement (Electrical, plumbing, mechanical) was required to bring the residence up to codes. The side entry was transformed into a new living space. Interior transoms, boxed and wrapped with multiple piece crown molding brought in maximum light and maximum height to the 1st floor living spaces. Most of the original Oak hardwood flooring was salvaged and refinished to a beautiful luster. The ladies of the New Century Club will be visiting in late spring; we'll let you know what they have to say.

Herbert Roger's old residence in Historic Belle Meade served as the basis for adding a new library, 2nd story master bedroom suite, and new entry foyer and music room, with a three-car garage and additional storage area. This major project took ten months to complete, and involved the use of architectural pieces from France, custom made doors and windows, and a 2nd story terrace off the music room. Numerous structural challenges including concrete retaining and foundation support walls, steel I-Beam work, and the installation of pre-cast concrete slabs by crane were required to build this addition. The music room pictured features a French limestone mantle with herringbone firebrick, plaster-finished walls with deep color glazing, and six-piece crown moulding.

Nashville Bath Remodel

• Enlarged the square footage of the master bath
  
• Create a spacious feel in the limited area
  
• Add closet space

As you can see, the bathroom pictured as well as two others in the house were in dire need of renovation. A complete gutting down to the studs and floor joists was required to reach a solid starting place. This tub was located in the master bathroom, and was replaced with a Kohler tub and valve. The window was replaced with a custom etched piece of glass sandwiched in insulated glass. If you look close you'll see the etched umbrella with trickling raindrops. You'll have to admit, the new shower is somewhat more enticing than the old one.

Nashville Kitchen Remodel

This kitchen won a design award in 1999. The peninsula and ceiling hung cabinets were eliminated in favor of an open cabinet design with center island. The old picture window was replaced with a Marvin Box Bay unit, complete with operable side casements and window seat. The tile backsplash and natural finished mouldings textures the clean white cabinet appearance. Granite counters and island top along with select Oak hardwood flooring further warm the classically white kitchen.

New construction - 10,000 sq. ft.

A Queen Anne Victorian residence, with all the modern amenities of 2000, this 10,000 sq.ft. residence spans the century with Walnut floors throughout and a Mahogany walled library. Two hot water recirculating pumps help make a hot jacuzzi bath or a hot steam shower available in any one of the 5 full baths. Two half baths catch the overflow, and speaking of heat, the geothermal mechanical system keeps the house cozy and comfortable. Subzero, Thermadore, & Bosch appliances highlight a spectacular kitchen, which looks out onto the pool, waterfall, pool house, hot tub, and gazebo. A 3,000 sq.ft. garage/guest house accommodates vehicles and visitors alike.

Project Began: October 1998
Project Completion: November 1998

Through referral, we were asked if we could help redo an attorneys office. The client wanted a creative, inviting space for an upper end travel agency, and one that did not feel like a cold commercial space. The rolled barrel ceiling with flanking can lights serve as a perfect backdrop for a cloud-laced sky. The use of fire-rated French doors allowed for light and more openness to spill from the entry hall into the reception area. And even the doors and sidewalls received "Worldly Treatment" to inspire their travel clients as they enter to make their travel plans. A painted / sealed concrete floor completed the entry invitation.

Thoughts from the owner:
"Each time I enter our lovely Green Hills office I am reminded of your creativity, professionalism and integrity. We are enjoying our space so much and continue to receive many compliments on the "look and feel" of the office. It is a comfortable environment that has worked out as we dreamed and imagined which is not always the case with a remodeling situation.

Your team is terrific. We appreciated the attention Brian gave to the project, the fact that it was completed on schedule and that your company as a whole seemed so interested in what we wanted to accomplish. I will certainly call Coleman Construction for any future building needs I have."

Sincerely,
Linda Raymer, President/CEO
