For many homeowners, their home’s footprint just falls short. When it feels easier to move than to add on, you may need to enlist the help of a design-build firm. The team at Dana King Design-Build Remodeling approaches the addition process with those core design-build principles in mind from the jump.
What is the function of the addition? What’s the just-right size—not too big, not too small—for that function? How will it integrate with the existing home in form and function? What kind of furniture will fit, and where? How can the addition complement and elevate the rest of the home? Working with a design-build firm (as opposed to a traditional builder or architect) allows you to arrive at the most considered solution for additions that will help you live better at home.
Attic Conversion and Floor Additions
Maybe your family size has changed. Maybe you need space to exercise or have converted to working from home. An addition can provide a bit of distance and space from the rest of the home, and it can add significant value if done right! In Richmond Heights, we added an entire second floor onto a historic home when the homeowner moved her mother into the main, accessible floor. The addition allowed the creation of a primary suite for the homeowner, a private retreat after working long days in the hospital.
Garage Conversion & Outdoor Spaces
Many older homes lack an enclosed garage or flexible workspaces. A well-designed back yard can incorporate a detached garage that can solve for both. One of our clients needed a place to store their collectible car from harsh St. Louis weather. We redesigned their backyard to incorporate a perfectly sized detached garage alongside patio space for entertaining and a yard for kids to play. A sunroom or all-season room can create a transitional space that will protect from the harsh elements, while still giving easy access to a pool or garden.
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)
Whether as a source of rental income, a cozy work retreat, a guest house or a dwelling for a relative, accessory dwelling units can increase footprint and elevate a property. Working to add on without cramping your style takes thoughtfulness and experience, and we can help you design your new addition with care for what already exists on the property.
