| House before renovations
begin. The client desired a new kitchen, larger than their existing one. We
designed an addition and new kitchen, encompassing their desires. The deck shown
here will be re-designed and constructed in the process of the renovation. |

Construction begins by
demolishing the existing deck and moving the client's septic tank. The tank was too
close to the proposed addition and had to be moved. |

| Rough framing is complete. Roof line
matches existing structure exactly, ensuring that it will not be apparent that an addition
was ever placed onto this home.

An engineered beam is set in place with a 5/8" steel plate sandwiched in between
it. This beam will support the 2nd floor of the house and facilitate a clean,
unobstructed space for the kitchen. Temporary support beams are shown behind
permanent beam. The existing kitchen remains as
intact as possible during the various phases of construction. At this time, the
sink, dishwasher, and all other appliances and fixtures are still operable, permitting the
homeowner to utilize these facilities |

|
| As seen in this photograph, the size of the
kitchen will be greatly enhanced by this addition.
|

|

|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Siding work is complete and kitchen window
is installed. Footings are set for pads which will hold the stairs for the deck. |

| Inside framing work is complete.
At this stage, the project awaits an inspection from the building department for the rough
framing work, the rough electrical work and the rough plumbing. |

| The addition is insulated, a new sub-floor has been put in place
and sheetrock work has begun (this view is the same as the image above). |

| The kitchen's connection to the family room has been enhanced by
the placement of this larger opening between the two rooms. It was one of the
client's goals to better integrate the two spaces. |

| (R.) Cabinet maker Jerry Middleton works on the cabinet
construction from his shop in Brooklyn, New York. |
|
| (RR.) Cabinets are roughly laid out at the job site as
installation begins. |

| Cabinets are completely installed, and await the doors and counter
tops. The material chosen here for the cabinets, Vertical Grain Fir, is a rare old
growth forest wood. This area will contain a small bar for entertaining. |

place. This will now allow for a template to be constructed for the granite
counter-tops. |

compliments the cabinet color and the floor tile selection. |

| This General Electric Monogram
refrigerator has been paneled with wood to match the cabinets.
The look is almost identical to Sub Zero units, with substantially
less cost to buy the refrigerator. |
