The Challenge

What Needed to Be Solved

The original kitchen and family areas were constrained by the existing footprint and did not connect well to the backyard. The objective was to add meaningful space without making the addition feel disconnected from the original home.

The Strategy

How ACE Would Approach It

ACE would coordinate the addition around structural transitions, roof and envelope tie-ins, mechanical impacts and the way the new floor area changes circulation through the existing house.

Scope of Work

A Coordinated Project, Not Isolated Tasks

  • Addition concept planning
  • Structural and foundation work
  • Exterior envelope integration
  • Kitchen expansion
  • New glazing / backyard access
  • Flooring transitions
  • Lighting and electrical
  • Millwork and storage
  • Interior / exterior finishing

Seamless Transition

Make new and existing spaces read as one home.

Backyard Connection

Use glazing and access points to improve indoor-outdoor flow.

Kitchen Function

Increase workspace, storage and circulation.

Whole-Home Impact

Review how the addition affects adjacent rooms, systems and property use.
