The project
The homeowners had just bought an older home with great bones on a quiet, beautiful piece of land. What it lacked was room for the kids to play and a place for everyone to hang out.
We added a large rec room and bathroom above the garage, and turned one garage bay into a workout room. We also conditioned the breezeway, so the addition connects to the house and counts toward the home’s square footage.
Scope
- Second story added above the existing three-car garage
- Large rec room and a full bathroom upstairs
- One garage bay turned into a workout room
- Conditioned breezeway connecting the addition to the house
- Stairway with a wood and metal railing
- Hallway with built-in window seats
