This
older home was very cramped and divided into very small rooms for the kitchen,
dining and living room areas. The owners wanted to have a larger conjoined
space, and better flow through the area, along with a new kitchen to help
out the growing family. We created a unique addition on the rear of the
house, that left the former three rooms to be used mainly for the kitchen
and dining areas. To accomplish this, we removed the walls between all of
the rooms, as well as a hall closet, that opened up the access to the new
area. We gave them a new larger kitchen with breakfast area, desk area,
and much larger pantry and storage space, since they are a growing family.
There is an angled eating counter, that mirrors the shape of the addition,
which helps give the room some definition, where the old rear wall of the
house used to be. The former dining room area is now part of the access
to the family room portion of the addition. We upgraded their split stair
to match the look and quality of the materials in the new addition. One
big change for them is that this room will not flood when it rains, as the
house used to do. We have raised the addition up and regraded the rear yard
for better drainage. |
