THE OBJECTIVE
To create a modern, open concept home retaining the heritage theme and improving functionality, useability, and its beauty as cost-effectively as possible.
HOW IT WAS ACHIEVED
The top floor was raised four feet, and 40% of the existing home was rebuilt. This A-frame house was built higher to achieve a maximum interior-height and create more space. The front porch was replaced, and the main floor previously divided as several small rooms transformed into one bright, flowing open concept. The kitchen floorplan was reconfigured to be more efficient and open, adding an oversized island with a bar sink, workspace, beverage fridge and storage – perfect for entertaining!
The reimagined upstairs creates 3 spacious bedrooms off the common hallway, plus 2 full bathrooms and the increased perimeter attic space generates extra storage. A separate laundry facility was added, along with extra room for gym equipment and bike storage, creating a spacious environment for this young and active family.
