Before & After

Renovation presents its own kind of challenges -- and rewards. Finding the 'good bones' of an existing structure is always the starting point. Upon these bones, the client’s program is developed (much like new construction). Design considerations include making additions and/or new spaces appear to grow naturally from the existing building – or present a clear and clean departure from the existing. As with new construction, priorities always include maximizing natural light, taking advantage of views, and knitting the structure into the landscape.
