Structural Expansion & Framing
The project began with carefully engineered structural modifications to support the new second-floor addition. New framing was integrated above the existing footprint, ensuring proper load transfer and long-term stability. Rooflines and wall layouts were coordinated to blend seamlessly with the original home while maximizing usable interior space.
Primary Bedroom Layout
The new primary bedroom was designed to feel open, comfortable, and private. Vaulted ceiling elements and natural light enhance the sense of space, while the layout allows for flexible furniture placement and a calm, retreat-like atmosphere. The finished room provides a quiet separation from the rest of the home.
Walk-In Closet Design
A dedicated walk-in closet was incorporated into the suite, offering generous storage and organization. The layout was framed to allow for future customization, including built-in shelving, hanging space, and cabinetry, making the closet both functional and adaptable to the homeowner’s needs.
Custom Bathroom Finishes
The full bathroom features a custom-tiled shower with integrated niches, a tiled shower bench, and carefully selected finishes that elevate the overall design. Materials were chosen for durability, ease of maintenance, and visual appeal, creating a spa-like environment that complements the rest of the suite.
Exterior Integration & Finishes
From the exterior, the addition was designed to look original to the home. Siding, trim, windows, and roofing were matched to ensure visual continuity, while updated landscaping and walkways help tie the new construction into the existing site. The result is a seamless exterior upgrade that enhances curb appeal and overall property value.
