The renovation includes adding a second story and a re-organization to the first level to allow for a Mother-in-Law Suite and anopen living space that opens up the home up to the woods at the rear. The design is clean and simple and uses natural materials giving the home a warm feel while updating the ranch style.

A southern facing front porch orients the house towards the corner and creates a side entry porch from the east facade similar to a Charleston home. A tight budget led to a simple plan composed of 2 forms that takes into account conventional lumber dimensions to minimize construction waste and account for every square inch.

This Lifetime Home features a designated area for a future elevator, planned rooms for future kids, multi-use rooms that can function as an office or guest bedroom, and several other “Not so Big House” ideas  to maximize spatial impact of such a small home. Despite it’s small size, we didn’t sacrifice on exterior and interior detailing to make this home feel as if it were a true original southern colonial.

The beautiful existing Japaniese Maple set the backdrop for this simple update to a Ranch. Detail of the Ipe siding and new metal window and door system at the entry. View of an accessible sitting area with exposed aggregate concrete paving. Detail of the blue stone entry patio and new landscaping. Detail view of the new hardscaping, landscaping, and pergola at the new garage door. For this project we wanted to use simple and clean materials that blend well with the existing brick of the home. View of the new completed entry.

A quick walk across a narrow on grade path simulating a bridge over a dry creek bed brings you to a front yard outdoor sitting area carved into the grade.  Existing hardwoods and the owner’s mature Japanese maple set the backdrop for this mostly-secluded area.  Lastly the inside of the existing residence melds with its new view and all glass front door and flanking sidelights opening onto a bluestone porch.  Wide steps provide a gracious entry and the final link between inside and outside while a disguised ramp preserve the owner’s wheelchair access to fully utilize the garden.

The scope includes a full basement renovation which includes an open theater room with a roll down screen, a large bar area, a billiards room, a game room, an exercise room, and a new full bathroom.. At the outside, we are opening up the basement with a total of 4 sets of french doors to a large pool deck and a weather tight covered area under a new deck above. The pool features a hot tub and a bench seat that comes right up to the new masonry columns that support a new deck.

Here are some progress pictures from construction:

Hot tub taking shape Pool shell is in. The masonry columns for the deck will be built right up to the pool edge. 3 new sets of exterior french doors to open up the basement to the new backyard new french doors from the basement. We cut back the existing deck and are creating a new deck area (right) that comes right up to the edge of the pool. The masonry columns are not built yet and the wooden support posts are temporary. soft soil thanks to the original builder dumping his construction debris and extra dirt in the backyard of the house when it was first built. Here we are using Helical piers underneath the masonry column footings to bring the load to solid earth.. natural stone boulder retaining walls and stone veneer on the pool wall beyond Rendering showing the basement renovation and the connection to the new outdoor spaces. Not shown is the new deck that comes right up to the edge of the pool
