Two Award-Winning Tudor Home Remodels In Roanoke and Mission Hills
Kansas City’s neighborhoods feature many Tudor Revival homes built in the 1920s and 1930s. Owners of these homes have chosen to remodel them in a variety of ways, but none as distinctly as these two home remodels that masterfully accentuate these homes’ design history with luxurious updates.
- Mission Hills Tudor: This home remodel, which won the 2019 Remodel of the Year award from the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI), accentuates the traditional Tudor woodwork, while finding ways to add today’s most desirable features: recessed lighting, elegant light fixtures, and a spa-like, marble bathroom. The home feels completely of its era without sparing features that make it functional and appealing for family life. Explore this award-winning home.
- Roanoke Tudor: Across the state line in the Roanoke neighborhood, another Tudor home captured a 2020 Remodel of the Year award from NARI, with remodeling and updating that concentrated on faithfulness to Tudor architecture throughout the home, including stained glass, casement windows, and the original wood work. The design concept added more usable space and contemporary, stylish living areas and conveniences. The exterior was also remodeled to emphasize the Tudor style.

Finding Opportunities For a Fresh Design In a 1920s Kansas City Shirtwaist Home
As homeowners come and go from living in homes with historic architecture, new additions and changes can obscure the home’s original character.
A 1923 Kansas City Shirtwaist home’s owners recognized that an earlier addition from the 1990s had outgrown its usefulness. This design challenge opened up an opportunity for the homeowner to remodel their kitchen, family room, and powder room for more functionality and space, while also bringing back the home’s Shirtwaist charm, including period-appropriate fixtures and woodwork.

Kitchen and Bathroom Remodels Across Kansas City
Many historic homeowners focus on remodeling two important areas of the home: their kitchens and bathrooms. These rooms are opportunities for stand-out design choices that incorporate a home’s historic features while honoring the homeowner’s modern needs.
For example, a home can have an expanded, upgraded kitchen for entertaining that retains design features that are appropriate to its historic character. You can also turn a bathroom into a relaxing space for rest and solitude with the latest amenities, while keeping vintage design choices.
Explore these kitchen and bathroom projects from our Kansas City home remodeling company:
- Historic Kitchen Expansion: When a family wanted to open up the family room and kitchen beyond what their 1906 Colonial Revival allowed for, our team created a contemporary floor plan, while maintaining the home’s character with expert material selection and design concepts.
- Stickley Inspired Kitchen Remodel: With period-appropriate hardware and cabinetry that echoes the original woodwork, this kitchen earned a NARI Kitchen Remodel award.
- Marble Master Bath Retreat: Your bathroom can have a heated floor, toe-kick LED lights, and every other state-of-the-art amenity that brings luxury and comfort to your daily life, while still exuding vintage character and charm. This bathroom delivers a fresh take on the blend of vintage and contemporary. NARI recognized it with a Bathroom Remodel of the Year Award.
- Three Bathroom Remodels In Fairway: These three bathrooms, including one for children, are stylishly up-to-date. Certain subtle choices, including tile flooring and wood accents, provide a timelessness that some owners of historic homes may prefer over specific vintage concepts.
