Make the most of a University Park property through custom new construction or a comprehensive renovation planned around space, function and lasting architectural character.
In University Park, thoughtful planning can matter as much as overall square footage. Circulation, natural light, storage, guest space and outdoor connections must work together efficiently.
Gutman coordinates custom residences and major renovations without relying on a fixed aesthetic, supporting modern, transitional and traditional architectural goals.
Like its neighbor Highland Park, University Park’s built-out lots mean most new construction is a teardown-rebuild governed by the Town’s permitting and review process — Gutman handles that process directly rather than leaving it to the client to navigate.
Where the location is already right, renovation reopens a dated floor plan, adds square footage, rebuilds kitchens and primary suites and updates systems and finishes throughout — while keeping the lot, streetscape and mature trees that define the block.
Many University Park clients arrive with an architect and interior designer already engaged. Gutman coordinates construction, engineering, permitting and municipal review around that team so the design intent carries through from drawings to finished home.
