Adding onto a house presents its own set of challenges. We listen to the goals of the client, photograph, and measure the structure to establish a clear understanding of the existing conditions. Since every house has its own architectural style, we strive to produce sympathetic additions that maintain the integrity of the home to enhance its character. Even modest changes, such as adding a porch, can have a dramatic impact on the house's function. The true test of any design, however, is livability. It is rewarding to get positive feedback from clients after a project is completed.
 

"It is a pleasure to entertain family and guests in our new outside living spaces. Thank you for your interest, vision, and expertise!" -- Catherine Peacock

By adding 603 sq. ft. to this Craftsman style home and renovating the kitchen, we were able to satisfy the needs of a growing family. The addition's traditional detailing blends seamlessly with the existing house.

A family room and master suite were added to the Tudor style house. Updating the interior, in addition to new landscaping, completed the project. Exterior materials were carefully matched to complement the home and to fit the character of this older neighborhood.
