The new first floor features a spacious dining area and a large, two-car garage with extra storage in the front. The original home lacked a family room, which made it difficult for the owners’ children to pursue their activities in the house. We added a loft to the second story that serves as a family/gaming room. A large front dormer and big windows make the interiors bright and open for everyday use. Eco-friendly building techniques were employed throughout the project. All demolition materials were separated and delivered to recycling centers. Highly efficient windows, doors and a new HVAC system work together to create an energy-saving addition. Green building materials included FSC-certified lumber and low odor, non-VOC finishes. PROJECT FEATURES: • Stained, beaded-oak paneling highlights a cathedral ceiling with skylights in the new dining room. • A cat walk at loft level overlooks the dining room, providing panoramic backyard views. • Energy-saving features include high-efficiency windows and doors, closed-cell insulation, a new HVAC system and insulated garage doors. 130 NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2013 • homeanddesign.com Remodeling_Ads.indd 130 10/11/13 3:18 PM
