Our clients approached us to find the most efficient way to add space to their modern vacation cottage in Luray. The cottage had two modest bedrooms and one bath, with a kitchen that allowed for one person at a time to prepare food. There was not space for sitting down with a larger group to share a meal together. The building site had challenges with only a small space for expansion. The list of challenges to achieve the goals was long but achievable.
We worked through a few design options to set the priorities vs the budget. The biggest challenge with any renovation project is balancing what has to be done to achieve the goals with what could be done in addition to the goals. Changing out some of the windows and part of the siding allowed for the functional parts of the house to be finished. A phase 2 will upgrade the remaining parts of the modern cottage in the future.
