The Story

The Vision Behind This Project

The Challenge

The Grey Birch Place project centered on a thoughtful reimagining of the home's basement and staircase, with structural improvements and refined interior finishes woven throughout.

The Approach

Engineering-driven modifications shaped much of the construction scope, including the addition of structural supports and increased framing in the basement — work that laid a durable, well-engineered foundation for everything that followed. Existing carpet was carefully pulled and reinstalled to accommodate the basement modifications, preserving continuity while the underlying structure was brought up to the project's elevated standards.

The Result

The kitchen received meaningful attention as well, with a curated suite of LG appliances and a custom tile backsplash selected to anchor the space. The staircase became a design moment in its own right, with upgraded rail materials elevating what might otherwise have been a purely functional element into a polished architectural detail. Across every phase, the MOSS team worked collaboratively with the homeowners to refine scope, identify cost efficiencies, and ensure the finished result aligned closely with their vision.

Curated Selections

Materials & Finishes

Kitchen The kitchen strikes a balance between everyday function and considered design, anchored by a full suite of LG appliances: the LG LSSG3017ST range, LG LSDT9908ST dishwasher, LG LMC2075ST microwave, and LG LFXS30766S refrigerator work together as a cohesive, stainless steel ensemble. A custom tile backsplash — selected separately and specified per the approved design attachment — brings texture and visual interest to the space, tying the appliance wall to the surrounding finishes.

Stairs The staircase was treated as an opportunity to add architectural character rather than simply meet a functional requirement. Upgraded stair rail materials, approved through a dedicated selection process, lend the transition between levels a crafted, intentional quality that reads throughout the home.
