New Orleans has an abundance of narrow, double shotgun homes. Architect Tom Holloman redesigned this former double shotgun house with an aging addition on the back and converted it to a single family residence. Craig and team demolished and rebuilt a 450 square ft addition on the back of the house with vaulted ceiling, recessed LED lighting, a deck, new kitchen with island cabinet layout and waterfall countertops and a bathroom. The floor plan was redesigned to maximize space while customizing room layout to the clients specifications which includes 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and an office. Additional features included barn doors, pocket doors, custom shelving in the kitchen made from recycled cypress. Barn and pocket doors are a popular space saving idea for small rooms.

These narrow houses with tiny side yards provide a challenge to moving supplies and materials around but Craig and team enjoy navigating the job site, and always leave the site clean at the end of the day!
