Purpose of renovation & project's challenges

The clients wanted to turn their vacation home into their full-time residence, so they needed to add an additional guest bedroom and dedicated office spaces, expand the kitchen, and generally improve the flow and layout of the home while maintaining its original character.

Additionally, they wanted to improve the heating system, add cooling, and improve indoor air quality and energy efficiency.

Creative & efficient use of space

The very large masonry chimney positioned in the middle of the home was removed, adding back 200 ft² of the living area to expand the living room and create a functional entry on the lower floor.


Removing the chimney allowed light from the skylights and open riser stairs to brighten the entry and kitchen/living/dining rooms.


The sunken living room was eliminated, creating a better great room feel. The floor area taken up by the stairs was restored, and the number of stairs to the top floor was reduced.
