The Vision

The family approached us with the desire to expand their home but were uncertain about how to move forward with exterior materials and managing costs. They wanted an addition that would seamlessly blend into their existing home while offering more space for their growing family. The initial consultation was centered around exploring their options for exterior finishes, budget considerations, and how we could deliver the additional space they needed without compromising on quality or aesthetic.

During our consultation, we sat down with the family to discuss their goals and concerns. They were focused on creating a space that would not only expand their living area but also enhance the home’s overall functionality. We walked them through various exterior material options, explaining the pros and cons of each in terms of durability, maintenance, and cost. Because they weren’t sure which direction to go in, we provided samples and a detailed cost breakdown to help them make informed decisions. Once we had clarity on materials and the scope of the project, we moved into the design phase. The addition was designed to complement the original architecture of their home while introducing a modern touch. The exterior materials we ultimately chose blended harmoniously with the existing structure, maintaining the character of the home while giving it a refreshed look.

The family wanted a space that felt spacious yet cozy, with plenty of natural light flowing into the new addition. The construction process was methodical, ensuring every detail was executed to the highest standard. As the 4,080-square-foot addition took shape, we ensured that the family was closely involved in key decision-making moments. This included everything from choosing the hardware to selecting countertops and flooring that would enhance both the functionality and the aesthetic of the new space.

Throughout the entire construction process, our project management team ensured that everything ran smoothly, from coordinating with suppliers to making sure materials were ordered and delivered on time. We kept the family informed at every step, addressing any concerns quickly and making adjustments as needed to keep the project on track.

In the end, the family was thrilled with the outcome. The addition provided them with much-needed space, and the thoughtful design choices reflected their personal style while maintaining the integrity of their original home. The process, from consultation to completion, was a collaboration that resulted in a space the family will enjoy for years to come.

Flooring

The flooring selection for the family’s home addition was a key element in achieving the desired warmth and aesthetic appeal. They chose Woodpecker Berkeley White Oak, a material renowned for its durability and natural beauty. The design process began with discussions about the family’s lifestyle and the look they wanted to achieve. We emphasized the importance of selecting a flooring option that could withstand daily wear while enhancing the airy and inviting atmosphere they envisioned. Once the Woodpecker Berkeley White Oak was selected, we carefully considered the installation layout to maximize the space’s flow and visual appeal. The wide planks of this flooring option not only added a sense of openness but also complemented the overall design of the addition. The rich, warm tones of the wood provided a stunning contrast against the modern finishes used throughout the space.

During the installation process, our team paid meticulous attention to detail. We ensured that the flooring was laid down with precision, allowing for seamless transitions between rooms and highlighting the unique grain patterns of each plank. The installation was executed with care, maintaining the integrity of the wood and ensuring a perfect fit around corners and edges. The end result was a beautifully installed floor that perfectly aligned with the design vision. The Woodpecker Berkeley White Oak flooring added a touch of elegance and warmth to the new addition, creating a welcoming atmosphere that the family could enjoy. Its natural hues and textures complemented the other design elements, ensuring a cohesive look throughout the space. This durable flooring not only enhanced the aesthetic but also provided a practical, long-lasting foundation for the family’s everyday life, making it a key feature of their beautifully transformed home.

Countertops

The selection of countertops was a critical aspect of the family’s home addition, allowing us to blend functionality with aesthetic appeal. They chose two stunning options: the Pental Concreto Honed and MSI Arctic White Polished. This combination was carefully considered during the design process to create visual contrast and enhance the overall sophistication of the space.

The Pental Concreto Honed countertops offered a matte finish that added a contemporary touch while also being practical for everyday use. Their durability and ease of maintenance made them an ideal choice for high-traffic areas like the kitchen, where the family would gather and create lasting memories. Meanwhile, the MSI Arctic White Polished countertops introduced a radiant gloss that brightened the space and served as a stunning focal point, particularly in the bathrooms.

During the installation process, precision was key. Our team worked diligently to ensure that each countertop was expertly cut and fitted to the specifications of the new cabinetry. The honed finish of the Pental Concreto required particular attention to detail to maintain its smooth surface without compromising its elegant appearance. For the polished surfaces, we ensured that the installation process highlighted the glossy finish, creating a seamless transition between the countertop and the surrounding materials. The final result was a harmonious blend of the two countertop styles, enhancing both the kitchen and bathrooms with a refined yet functional aesthetic. The family was thrilled with the outcome, as the countertops not only met their practical needs but also elevated the overall design of their newly expanded home.

Our Process

The design process for the family’s home addition was a collaborative journey that focused on creating a modern yet classic aesthetic tailored to their lifestyle. From the outset, we emphasized the importance of selecting high-quality fixtures that would not only enhance the beauty of the space but also stand the test of time. For the hardware, we chose sleek bar pulls and elegant privacy handles that resonated with the family’s vision. These pieces were not only stylish but also durable, providing a seamless blend of form and function. The clean lines of the hardware complemented the overall design theme, offering a contemporary touch while remaining classic enough to integrate with their existing décor.

The selection of countertops was a pivotal aspect of the design, allowing us to introduce both polished and honed finishes that added depth and interest to the kitchen and bathrooms. The Pental Concreto Honed countertops offered a sophisticated, matte surface that balanced beautifully with the high gloss of the MSI Arctic White Polished countertops. This combination not only provided visual contrast but also served practical needs, as the honed finish is less susceptible to showing fingerprints and stains.

Tile choices played a significant role in enhancing the aesthetic of the addition. We incorporated Porcelanosa tiles in various sizes to create visually dynamic surfaces that added texture and sophistication. The striking Venus Persa Silver tiles were particularly effective in tying different areas together, providing a refined look that flowed seamlessly from room to room. In the bathrooms, the use of United Tile’s Fittile Fuggo Black and Gazzini Factory White tiles created a modern, high-contrast appearance that felt cohesive and well-planned.

Flooring was another critical consideration. The family opted for Woodpecker Berkeley White Oak, known for its durability and natural beauty. The wide planks not only added a sense of warmth to the space but also contributed to an airy atmosphere, making the addition feel expansive and inviting.

Throughout the design process, every choice was made with careful consideration of both aesthetics and functionality.
