Challenge
The project aimed to transform a dilapidated house into a highly marketable single-family home through a substantial addition and full-scale renovations. However, the tight budget and the builder’s specific material preferences posed challenges, especially given the significant floor area expansion and extensive interior and exterior upgrades. Additionally, site improvements, including landscaping and an enlarged driveway with new paving, needed to be completed without exceeding financial constraints.
 
Solution
To balance budget limitations with design ambitions, we implemented a cost-effective yet high-quality approach to material selection and construction. The design focused on efficient space planning, value-driven construction techniques, and strategic material choices that met the builder’s preferences while ensuring durability and aesthetic appeal. Energy efficiency was prioritized through airtight construction, thermal comfort strategies, and optimized building systems, enhancing both performance and long-term value.
 
Value Delivered
The result was a fully transformed, highly marketable home that maximized livable space while staying within budget. Through strategic design and efficient execution, we delivered a modern, energy-efficient, and visually appealing residence that significantly increased property value. The enhanced curb appeal, improved site features, and high-performance building envelope positioned the home as a standout property in the market.
