More room. Same place you love.
Expand your home from the ground up, with new space that feels connected from the start.
Plan your additionSpace for what comes next
When a different layout is not enough, an addition can create the floor area your household needs. Start with the purpose of the new space, then shape the footprint and its connection to your home.
Create the gathering space your existing footprint is missing. Plan a larger kitchen, dining area, or family room around how it connects to the rest of the home.
Make room for changing household needs. Consider privacy, bathroom connections, storage, and the route from existing living areas into the new space.
Add practical space for vehicles, storage, and the everyday arrival home. Coordinate driveway access, floor levels, and connections to the house.
Before the footprint grows
An addition connects new construction to a home that is already standing. Review the land, structure, and building systems together before committing to the size and location.
Discuss your propertyReview the proposed footprint, property boundaries, setbacks, easements, and access before committing to a layout.
Consider slope, soils, excavation, foundation approach, and where water will go around the enlarged home.
Review load paths, floor levels, roof connections, and how the new opening into the house will be supported.
Account for electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, and any septic or sewer considerations created by the added space.
From dirt to done
The new footprint is only part of the work. The scope should also account for connections inside the house, weather protection, utility changes, and the property around the finished addition.
Review the site and existing home, establish the layout and scope, and identify design, engineering, permitting, and budget needs.
Coordinate access, excavation, footings, foundation work, drainage, and inspections for the new footprint.
Build the framing and roof, connect the addition to the existing structure, and coordinate windows, doors, flashing, and weather protection.
Coordinate building systems and interior finishes, complete exterior transitions, and review the finished work and remaining details.
Where old and new meet
Match the scale and character of the house while solving the details you will use every day. A thoughtful addition works from the driveway, through the existing rooms, and into the new space.
Also changing your existing rooms?Plan roof intersections, flashing, drainage, foundation connections, and support around new openings.
Coordinate floor heights, doorways, circulation, heating and cooling, lighting, and the transitions between finishes.
Account for construction access, staging, driveway connections, final grading, and restoration of disturbed areas.
Yes. We can take on additions from site preparation and foundations through framing, the exterior shell, building-system coordination, and interior finishes. The scope is developed around the property and the connection to the existing house.
The first review considers the desired footprint, boundaries, setbacks, easements, access, drainage, and existing utilities. These constraints help determine where an addition can fit before the design is developed further.
We plan rooflines, proportions, windows, siding, trim, and interior transitions together. Material availability and the age of existing finishes can affect exact matching, so those decisions belong in the design and selection process.
A ground-up addition generally needs a foundation designed for its loads and site conditions. The approach and connection to the existing home depend on grade, soils, structure, and the design.
That depends on the connection work, utility interruptions, safe access, and the rooms affected. We discuss how the site can be separated from living areas and which phases may require different arrangements.
Size, site access, foundation requirements, structural connections, utility capacity, design, permits, selections, and material lead times all matter. A useful scope also addresses work inside the existing home and restoration outside the new footprint.
Remodeling can improve layout and function within the existing footprint. An addition creates new floor area. Start with the space you need and what your existing home can accommodate; some projects benefit from both, planned as distinct parts of the scope.
