Removing that odd roof plane allow us to use the split shed and clerestory to create a taller entryway and expand the upper floor of this tri-level to create bigger bedrooms and a bonus study space along with a laundry room upstairs. The design goal was to make this look like it is all part of the original design, just cleaner and more modern. Moving to a concrete step entryway was a huge improvement from the previous spaced trex decking

This West Linn 1970's split level home received a complete exterior and interior remodel. The design included removing the existing roof to vault the interior ceilings and increase the pitch of the roof. Custom quarried stone was used on the base of the home and new siding applied above a belly band for a touch of charm and elegance. The new barrel vaulted porch and the landscape design with it's curving walkway now invite you in. Photographer: Benson Images and Designer's Edge Kitchen and Bath

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.

This unified split-level home maintains the original layout of a split-level while retaining the appearance of a 2-story colonial. The trend of straying away from the split-level appearance has become a popular one among clients in Bergen County and all of Northern New Jersey. Typically addition to homes like this one include a full new level which acts as the entire master suite. Gable dormers and architectural elements disguise the home and make them unrecognizable as a split-level to most, while retaining an unique aesthetic.

We partially removed the wall between the living room and the staircase creating a half a wall that opens up the overall feeling of the space. We also widened the staircase. The painted front door makes a bold statement and creates a nice contrast with the walls. Treads and banisters are stained with a mixture of the DuraSeal® Coffee brown and the Spice brown. The painted exterior entry door: Carbon Copy 2117-10 Benjamin Moore. Interior doors and trims: Benjamin Moore Cloud White Walls: Shaker Beige HC-45 paint Benjamin Moore
