Press ReleaseMichael McCloskey Design Group Leads Trend in Home RenovationsTraditional Exteriors and Contemporary Interiors Meet "New" Home-Centered LifestyleMARBLEHEAD, Mass., Dec. 7, 2004 -- The Michael McCloskey Design Group excels at aesthetically maintaining traditional exteriors while contemporizing interiors to meet the extraordinary demands of today's lifestyle. Michael McCloskey Design Group, (http://www.michaelmccloskey.com), headed by key trend leader Michael McCloskey, is an innovative architectural firm headquartered in Marblehead, Massachusetts.Michael McCloskey Design Group pillars of renovation are attention to personal space and neighborhood sensitivity. Each unique renovation creates a comfortable lifestyle for the family. The interiors utilize space and light to define a family's sanctuary. The exteriors honor the setting on its site and its place in the broader context of the neighborhood, always maintaining the home's historical character. McCloskey, lecturer in strategic leadership and small business marketing and management at Harvard University, designs from his emotional perspective. "Changes in culture, like everything else, are accelerating. As our culture evolves at an increasing rate, homes built sixty years ago just don't fit today's family lifestyle and structure. People want individuality and personalization. We update overall residences to be streamlined and simplified without losing their cherished character. This is a time of individualism that is intensified by uncertainty in the public realm. Our clients want renovations that provide comfort, choice and personal statements about their values. At Michael McCloskey Design Group, we relish the challenge of contemporizing a traditional home to create a living space that is tailored to 'fit' like an Armani suit," stated McCloskey. "It's deceivingly simple." Today's lifestyle is far different from those who built these older, gracious residences. Currently, a fraction of the American population lives in what once was the traditional family structure. Years ago, children played outside from dawn 'til dusk, unstructured and unsupervised. Adults traveled for relaxation and to experience exotic vacations. Entertainment meant going somewhere. Lifestyles have changed dramatically. Today's priorities revolve around safety, security and staying close to home. Families want a home sanctuary that affords the comforts of a luxury hotel, provides choices for their children's entertainment right at home, and offers spaces to meet a myriad of family activities. This is true at every income level. People desire safety, peace of mind, and a little seclusion from fears of orange alerts and unknown dangers. Michael McCloskey Design Group understands this paradigm shift and is innovative and resourceful in designing structures to meet the new family standards. Interiors incorporate open spaces and clean lines with luxury master suites outfitted with steam showers, soaking tubs, exercise areas, and coffee bars. Family areas are centered on home entertainment. Exteriors remain true to the neighborhood by keeping the traditional design with added contemporary details. Families want the security of having everyone home, safe and sound. Renovating to honor that need is the essence of creating contemporary spaces within traditional structures as Michael McCloskey Design Group does so well.
