The main elements of the transformation: Cedar columns, beams, and rafters, and corrugated steel siding and roof. We exposed all the steel connectors. I've got to tell the carpenter to take off the price stickers. PHOTO: Ignacio Salas-Humara

Kitchen - modern kitchen idea in Chicago

This is the rear or service entrance, which is parallel to the carport. The kitchen door is to the right above the stairs. We designed a built-in trash storage compartment. The owner drops trash bags into rolling bins from deck level, and the trash collector obtains access to the bins from ground level. PHOTO: Ignacio Salas-Humara

The interior walls and ceilings of the trailer were covered in dark wood paneling and the flooring throughout was sheet vinyl. We didn't have the budget to replace the paneling, so we painted over the wood to lighten up the interior. It made a huge difference. We replaced the existing small windows with double glass patio doors on three sides of the dining room and added wood decks all around the outside. A nearby wood flooring contractor had a storage shed filled with oak end pieces and leftovers from many flooring jobs. They were an inexpensive way to floor the entire trailer in real oak.
