Rollingwood - Westlake Remodel
Our clients needed a house that would fit their family, which includes teenagers, who of course, desired an area to call their own. We worked closely with our homeowners to find the perfect house to fit their needs however; when we realized their “perfect” home did not exist, we knew renovating an existing house into their dream home was the answer. At that point, our focus was helping our clients find the ideal location where we could then build their dream home.
Located in the coveted, Rollingwood neighborhood, this home was originally built in 1960 as a single-story, 2,450 square foot, ranch-style home. The first goal was to increase the size of the living areas in a way that satisfied our client’s desire to implement the charm of their Southern, New Orleans roots along with a Rustic Modern touch. We achieved this by extending the foundation and adding a second story to create a larger 3,900 square foot home with a combined open, living, dining, kitchen and lounge space. Key design features such as, reclaimed wood beams and doors, shiplap wall accents, custom iron doors, a custom fireplace and built-in custom cabinetry were implemented to achieve our client’s unique style.
The original home had a small patio area. One of the common requests we receive from our clients is to incorporate an indoor/outdoor living space. By doing this, you increase the livable square footage of the home without adding significant costs. On this project, we utilized large glass sliding doors to bring the outside in and avoided a visual barrier, which ultimately makes the great room and the patio appear larger.
Sometimes the cost of a remodel is not necessarily what you see, but what you do NOT see.
Heated (tile) floors in the master bath and soundproofing walls between the living spaces are extra touches that are not visible, but certainly add value and livability to this remodel.
One of our key priorities as a project team was to create a home that fit within the architectural integrity and character of our client’s neighborhood. By pairing the existing brick with stucco and a soft white paint, we created a home that fits beautifully into the Rollingwood neighborhood. #AustinsBuilder
