THE STORY
The entire plan changed without expanding the footprint.
What began as a straightforward interior refresh changed once the walls were opened. The existing layout was not using the home well, and the plumbing and electrical systems needed more work than originally expected.
Instead of putting the house back together the same way, we used the opportunity to rethink the floor plan. Walls were moved, new bedrooms were created, and the circulation between the main living spaces was cleaned up.
That decision turned a limited refresh into a full-home reconfiguration, giving the owner more usable space without expanding the building footprint.
The construction story.
BEHIND THE BUILD
Kitchen wall opened to expose old framing and plumbing.
Existing kitchen stripped back for layout changes.
High-ceiling room opened to framing and insulation.
Existing window wall opened during reconfiguration work.
Spray insulation installed across ceiling and wall framing.
Drywall installation around the stair and new room openings.
Drywall taping in progress around the stair area.
New flooring installation through the reworked main level.
Finished high-ceiling room with new windows and flooring.
PHASE 01
Opening the Existing Layout
We removed the dated partitions and exposed the original framing so the floor plan could be rebuilt around additional bedrooms, clearer circulation, and better use of space.
PHASE 02
Rebuilding the Core Systems
Once the new layout was set, we rebuilt the plumbing and electrical to serve the reconfigured rooms. Framing, utilities, and inspections were coordinated together before the walls closed.
