This starter home features the raised basement concept. Homes like these are often built using low income housing tax credits that require a 15 year period of rental. The idea of this home is that it is an ideal rental to be sold after the rental period. The owner can then easily expand this house by finishing the basement - doubling the square footage of the home at a low cost per square foot. It allows to stabilize neighborhoods by keeping residents in place for the long term.

This barn door to the basement solved a technical problem. How to slow noise transmittance in a space that does not allow for a typical swing door. It was also the first time we installed a soft close mechanism on a barn door. That is now a standard detail as they work exceptionally well and keep the door moving well for a long time. This is 7 years old and still works just like when it was installed.

2019 Main floor kitchen renovation. This was phase two of this particular project. The kitchen is a small space so durable, functional, easy clean materials were selected with premium spend on appliances.

For this one we had to build the fireplace surround from metal studs and plywood to make sure that it was dead level, laser flat and did not warp or move. We also hot glued one row of tiles onto the plywood to set the datums that the millworkers used to get the floating shelf elevations. With premium details the order of operations needs to be set befroe the job starts during pre-construction planning to make sure that everyone involved gets a say in what has to happen before they arrive.
