A Well-Placed Addition Allows For New Life in an Old Space

A well-placed addition allows for a new life in an old space. This renovation brings in light, adds space, and offers the function to this existing home. The owners needed a paint studio with more light. The house is in the right location in town and has the right amount of space. However, he wanted a little more space to further explore his painting passion.

This home owner did elaborate drawings to figure out what was needed with the addition, but lacked the technical knowledge for the structural design. So we did a code review, architectural consult, and structural design for this addition. The project has been slower than if a contractor was building it, but again this home owner wanted to take on the challenge.

There have been a lot of questions, but this home owner plans everything out and does the research needed for success.
