Additions & Renovations
Additions & Renovations
Additions and renovations are a mainstay of my practice. My practice was established in the Chicago metro, which has a robust residential renovation market. As such, I have a diverse portfolio of large and small additions and renovations projects. As a licensed Architect, I bring the highest standard of care to these projects.
Cape Cod Addition, Glen Ellyn, IL
Spatious, but Quaint principles guided the design of this addition to a 1930's Cape Cod home. A new kitchen, dining area and family room met the needs for this growing family.
Bungalow Addition, West Des Moines, IA
This small house had been in the family many years. The goal was to completely update the exterior the existing house while adding a new great room, primary suite, attached garage. Much sensitivity was given to harmonizing the rooflines as not not overwhelm the original bungalow.

Suburban Addition, Palatine, IL
Angles were the solution, as this irregualr site provided many challenges. The new addition and renovation added light filled space and also fixed circulation flaws.
Modern House Addition, West Des Moines, IA
This 1970's house employes the Contemporay California style. the additon consists of a new family room & deck with a 3 car garage below. A new material palate has been introduced to provide variety and warmth.
Beaverdale Cape Addition, Des Moines, IA
Even this modest addition to a Brick Cape Cod gets the attention it deserves. Great care was made to replicate the proportions and details of the orginal house. The existing bick was salavaged and used on the front facade. The owners claim: "Everyone thinks it is original" Isn't that the way an addition should be!

Second Story Addition/Whole House renovation
Originally built as a summer cottage, this house was expanded and restyled as a fulltime residence. A particular challenge was connecting the oringal house to the existing garage. The dormers give the house simple character, invoking the "spacious, but Quaint" feature prevelent in many of our designs.
