Project Summary 

This young family of four needed more natural light, more rooms, and a reconfiguration of space inside and out to fully live the life they envisioned. So we opened up the kitchen by removing two walls and created a 16'x20' (2-level) addition off the back with eight new Marvin windows.

We expanded the kitchen footprint, adding custom cabinets and an island with quartz countertops, all bathed in natural light. The addition also created dedicated space for artistic endeavors above, new bedrooms for the girls below, a workout space, and access to new outdoor living. Counting the foyer Chandelier, we added 30 new lights to the home, most being dimmable LEDs. Let there be light!

This remodel dramatically changed and improved the lives of these homeowners. That's not a happy accident. That is our mission.

In this detailed project video interview with the homeowners and the designer, we explore the reasons for the remodel and its impact.
