Addition finally takes shape (literally)!

We often wondered what the addition would look like on the outside when it was finished. In the beginning, my husband and I were both afraid it would end up looking like a box jutting off the back of our house. It was one of the first things we talked about with our architect, Chris Hennessey. We asked her if she could make the addition look like it was always there. We were lucky enough to find Chris through our contractor. The minute we met her, we knew she was the one we wanted to work with. She was very down to earth and made us feel comfortable immediately. When we asked her about the exterior aesthetics, she suggested different roof lines to create interest and make it look purposeful. Everything she has done for us has been amazing. She was able to give my mother-in-law the space she wanted, fit in a first-floor laundry room, relocate the powder room, and carve out an office for me, all while keeping the space feeling open. It wasn’t until now that we can appreciate her attention to detail on the exterior of the addition. It ties into our home beautifully and absolutely feels like it could have always been there!

Recap of where we started from:

We began the project with the laying of the foundation in June.  Once the foundation was finished, the floor joists and subfloor were installed, which is where we left off.

After that, the father-son duo of Dan and DJ from Dan House Construction began the framing process.

Once the framing was done, the trusses went up, and we began to see the different roof lines that our architect put in the plan. The exterior portion of the addition is complete, and it is amazing and very overwhelming at the same time.

Now we begin the interior portion of the renovation, which I plan on sharing with you as much as I can.
