Colonial Ranch to Craftsman

How It Got Here:

This house began as a colonial ranch design.  It was remarkably well built.  There was a beautiful back yard, but it was completely inaccessible from the experience of the home, no view, no connection. We developed a design that would change the character of the home and provide a positive connection to the environment.

The FACTS

  • This project completed in 2006

  • A few years after completion, Parkco designed a screened porch addition and pool (photos someday…).

  • This is the only project with a timelapse of construction (Thanks, MB!).

  • Opening views to the back created greater opportunities for outdoor living.

  • The new second floor became the kid’s realm.

  • Removing a section of roof allowed for higher ceilings in the public spaces of the first floor and defined the area of the new second floor.

  • A small sitting area, adjacent to the dining room may be the best spot in the home.

  • Best clients ever!

  • Renovating/reimagining the house created a sense of the new, while staying in a familiar location.
