Background

Mitch wanted more room for entertaining. His home was typical of homes built in the 40's. The rooms were small and boxy, the kitchen was tiny and there was little closet space.

Experience

Renovation Design proposed a 25 foot addition including a new kitchen that extends into a great room, increasing the interaction between guests. In order to extend the interaction into the backyard, large windows seperate the master and family rooms. A glass door leads to a trellis covered patio from each room. The patio leads to a spa surrounded by a planter. A two-car garage was also designed to tie into the home with the trellis. A new master bedroom with a spacious walk-in closet was also included in the addition. Between the master and family rooms, a large plasma screen TV was designed to swivel — enabeling it to face either room.

The key to this design was in moving the stairs. This created a corridor from the entry to the kitchen while expanding the kitchen space.

"Renovation Design expanded what was possible for me with their expertise. I knew what I wanted [the] end result to be, but I didn’t know where to start, let alone what the contractor needed to actually get started on the project. Given that I will live in this renovated home for at least ten years, I felt that using experts to help in this important phase was WELL worth the investment. Thanks Renovation!"
