This home was in the 2016 Fall Parade of Homes Remodelers Showcase. Get inspired by this tear-down. The home was rebuilt with a six-foot addition to the foundation. The homeowner, an interior designer, dreamed of the details for years. Step into the basement, main floor and second story to see her dreams come to life. It is a mix of old and new, taking inspiration from a 150-year-old farmhouse. Explore the open design on the main floor, five bedrooms, master suite with double closets, two-and-a-half bathrooms, stone fireplace with built-ins and more. The home's exterior received special attention with cedar brackets and window detail.

To transform the residential property and dramatically increase its ground-floor footprint, this project delivers a comprehensive design featuring a single-storey front extension to enhance curb appeal, a side extension for practical utility, a rear extension creating an expansive open-plan kitchen and living space, and a garage conversion into a fully integrated habitable room. The architectural strategy establishes a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor areas through high-performance rear glazing and strategically placed rooflights, while maintaining visual harmony with the neighboring elevation. Completing the deliverable, accurate 1:100 scale floor plans, roof layouts, sections, and elevation drawings were developed to ensure full compliance with local council planning policies and UK Building Regulations.
