Event Description
What happens when two projects, similar in size and budget, are completely different in concept? One, a new build that re-imagines the Prairie style, combining modern sensibilities with design features reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright. The other, a historic Neoclassical Revival, where the goal was to update its function for modern living while thoughtfully preserving the home’s historic merits and rich character.
Join David Boronkay, Principal of Slocum Hall Design Group for this webinar, as he navigates these two very different homes, providing insights into how he approached each project, and their award-winning outcomes.
Learning Objectives
Define the principles of designing for the luxury market by analyzing the case studies of a Prairie style new build and a Neoclassical Revival renovation.
Evaluate the differences in design approach and methodology between modernizing a historic property while preserving its character and creating a contemporary home inspired by a specific architectural style.
Identify key considerations in balancing modern sensibilities with historic preservation in architectural design, as demonstrated in the projects discussed.
Analyze the role of client collaboration and interpretation of their goals in shaping the design process and achieving award-winning outcomes, as exemplified by David Boronkay's work with Slocum Hall Design Group.

David Boronkay
Principal/Owner, Slocum Hall Design Group
For as long as David Boronkay can remember he has been completely obsessed with houses. As a kid, he would drive around with his mom to survey the progress of the new homes being built. His obsession with thoughtfully designed homes continued into adulthood, where he has been able to work with clients to realize their dreams as principal of Slocum Hall Design Group.
Slocum Hall Design Group listens and interprets clients’ goals to custom-tailor their homes and additions to how they envision themselves living in their new space. Whether designing a new home or seamlessly integrating a new addition into the fabric of an older home, the philosophy on which SHDG was founded is that an individual’s home is their most personal possession, and being trusted with the task of creating that space is incredibly rewarding.
