Sutphin Architecture versus Lefèvre Interiors

 

A few months ago, I discovered the company Sutphin Architecture, based in Charlottesville, Virginia.

I was so pleased to discover the beautiful and masterly architectural work of this company!

Whether you want to build a new house or you would love to go for the restoration or renovation of your home, Sutphin Architecture has the solution for you!

I just love the classical styled new or restored projects of this building company!

The residential homes are based on the classical architectorial style with a good eye for proportions and beautiful detailling.

…and after.

Isn’t that gorgeous!

Do I notice here influences of the Belgian style?

Browsing through the Sutphin Architecture website, I discovered that, concerning interior architecture, this company has a lot in common with my company Lefèvre Interiors. Their are a lot of similarities in designing, finishing, detailling and quality of the projects of both to discover.

That is why I wanted you to discover Sutphin Architure and why today I share with you some images of both companies, Sutphin Architecture and Lefèvre Interiors.

I might think that you all will notice similarities and feel kindred spirits in the work of both.

Lefèvre Interiors projects we are working at

Some of my readers asked me when I would be able to post about some new projects of Lefèvre Interiors. Well, the past months, Jan and me were so busy preparing and installing a lof of our projects! The whole process of a design project, from the start to the finishing touch (furnishings, window treatment and decoration included) takes a few months, sometimes even a year!

We are only a small company, where the execution of cabinetry and paneling requires a lot of handicraft and craftsmanship.

Taking all the required measurements and preparing the design renderings and technical plans is a very important phase of the process.

If the plans are approved by our clients, the woodwork has to be constructed by the employees in our workshop.

I thought you might be interested in these projects. So today I show you pictures of some of the projects we were working at the passed months, and which are already installed at our client’s home, but not finished yet.

Painting and docoration has to be finished in the next weeks or months.

But maybe now you will understand how busy I am sometimes and therefore not having plenty of time left to blog!

At this project here, we were asked to design a living room with adjoining kitchen.

This kitchen cabinet is fantstic! I just love this. Do you notice the open parts to store the cutlery?

The second project is the redo of a bedroom.

All of the woodwork in this room has to be painted.

Built-in cabinets as a French “placard”.

This is the bedhead wall.

A third project is about a redo of a library room.

This cabinetry and paneling is also made of oak but with a totally different finish than the oak at the first project I showed you.

This library need to be furnished and decorated now.

___

This is also a redo project of a library room.

For this project we used French walnut for the cabinetry.

I will show you more pictures of the room when the window treatment is finished.

And finally, the remake of an existing front door!!!

This is a rather unusual project but the owners of this house couldn’t find no one who was prepared to make this door with the exact profiles and proportions of the 19th century authentic door.

Jan and me decided to go for it and the owners are now very pleased with it.

The new front door. (So sorry I didn’t have a better picture of it.)

Unfortunately we had to change the design of the letter boxes, because the original ones are not conform anymore to the new legislation about the required measurements of mailboxes.

The old damaged door.

I will asap post pictures of the finishing part of these interiors, furniture, window treatment and decoration items included!
