EXTERIOR CONSIDERATIONS:
- Siting – this is a narrow lot, so additions had to be off the back or front only.
- Low maintenance materials: aluminum railing, facia and soffit, ACQ decking, James Hardie siding, Smart trims and fiberglass exterior doors.
INTERIOR CONSIDERATIONS:
- The rooms all stayed in their original locations, but we designed them to function better. We added 6’ across the lake side and added small addition to the road side to re-jig the master bedroom and make room for a new Ensuite. We took out one bedroom to make a new front entry and stairwell to the new basement (original cabin had no basement)
BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS:
- There’re always budget considerations. We tried to salvage as much of the original insulation as we could, we kept the original T&G ceiling in the great room and we kept plumbing in original locations where it made sense to.
