Back to the Future.

The original atrium frame became one of the key anchors for the redesign, bringing light deep into the home and preserving the spirit of the 1980s structure.

While only the lower ground floor walls and atrium frame remained original, the rest of the home was upgraded, improved or extended to support modern family life.

The result is not a replica of what was there, but a new chapter built around the strongest parts of the original idea.

Before you spend big on your home, understand the real project picture.

A renovation or addition is not just the construction cost. Consultants, documentation, engineering, energy reports, permits, planning, site conditions and contingency can all affect the outcome.

The biggest risk is assuming too much too early.

We can help you understand what may be involved before you commit too much time, money or energy in the wrong direction.

Call us before you commit.
