ADDITIONS

Custom Residential Planning, Big or Small

We provide custom residential planning for projects of all sizes, and additions are one of our strongest areas.

Whether you are adding a bedroom, expanding a kitchen, building over a garage, creating a new suite, or transforming the entire home, we focus on making the new space work naturally with what is already there.

Additions That Make Sense

A good addition is more than extra square footage.

It needs to work with the existing floor plan, roof, structure, property, zoning, and Building Code requirements.

We look at the entire house before designing the addition so the finished project feels intentional, functions properly, and makes sense to build.

Designed With the Existing Home in Mind

Additions come with challenges that new homes do not.

Existing foundations, bearing walls, roof lines, floor elevations, structural loads, lateral bracing, setbacks, and existing openings can all affect what is possible.

We work through these issues early so the design is practical before you get too far into the project.

From Concept to Permit Drawings

We can assist from the early planning stage through to detailed permit ready drawings.

Our process typically includes reviewing the existing home, exploring the best layout, developing the exterior and roof form, preparing the technical drawings, and coordinating with engineers or other consultants where required.

Make the Addition Feel Like It Belongs

The best additions should not look like an afterthought.

We pay close attention to proportions, roof lines, windows, materials, and the overall character of the home so the new addition feels like a natural part of the original design.
