The clients for this project approached SALA ‘to create a house that we will be excited to come home to’. Having lived in their house for over 20 years, they chose to stay connected to their neighborhood, and accomplish their goals by extensively remodeling their existing split-entry home.

SeasonGuard vinyl windows come with triple pane glass and are lauded for their energy efficiency. They come with a long list of industry-leading warranties including one that covers glass breakage. To complete the look of the exterior, the couple selected brown aluminum window wraps that matched their Musket Brown LeafGuard® Gutters.

Kitchen - traditional kitchen idea in Charlotte

Front of an accessible split-level home in Ottawa after an aging-in-place renovation. Brick carried across the whole front, larger windows and a symmetrical layout make the two halves of the split-level read as one house. The lower level gained its own entrance at ground level, with a single step for weather, set up to take a small ramp if ever needed.
