Kensington House Remodel and Addition

This family of five lived in a 900sf 2 bedroom home that had a not quite tall enough basement. With one son just entering his teen years it was time to expand. Our design for the basement gained them 2 bedrooms, a second bath, a family room, and a soundproof music room. We demo’d the deck off the kitchen and replaced it with a compact 2-story addition. Upstairs is a light-filled breakfast room and below it one of the 2 new bedrooms. An interior stair now connects the upstairs to the basement with a door opening at a mid landingto access the backyard. The wall between the kitchen and the living room was removed. From the front door you are now greeted by a long view, through living room, kitchen and breakfast room of the beautiful oak in the backyard which was carefully tended through construction.
