Remodeling - 1920s Georgian Addition/Remodel |
The owners purchased this home with the intention of remodeling. Working with Sakiyama Construction and architect Glen Klym, the decision was made to convert the existing garage into a family room with a 2 storey addition adjoining. Sakiyama Construction took care to maintain the original style of the home including matching roof lines, windows and stucco finish.
| The main floor of the addition contained a kitchen and mud room/entrance, and the upper floor a large bedroom and children's bathroom. Existing main floor plan included a remodeled living room, sun room and library with the old kitchen becoming a laundry room. Existing second floor was developed into large master bedroom, walk-in closet and ensuite, and an additional bedroom. |
|
 |
| The old attached garage was transformed into the family room/sunroom pictured here. A major challenge was to develop this room while providing support for the library above. |

Restoration of the existing living room (left) complimented the newly created kitchen in the addition. Of particular interest was the barrel vaulted ceiling in the latter. The kitchen featured maple cabinetry, granite countertops and ceramic flooring. All plumbing, electrical and heating systems in the home were replaced. |
 |
|
All existing trimwork was either replaced or restored. The majority of the walls were redrywalled and painted. Floors throughout the home were well worn as seen in the old library (above) and were sanded, stained and refinished (left). |
Original wood staircase had been covered with carpet (above). On removal, it was decided that the stairs could be restored by sanding and refinishing. Note the change in floor plan with rear door opening replaced by hallway wall. |
|
 |
New child's bedroom featured bay window, contemporary lighting and maple hardwood flooring. |

Additions - 1940s Cape Cod |
The primary focus of this project was to provide increased living space as well as to modernize the home. The "shed" shaped section on the right side of the existing house (above left) was a largely unused, poorly heated side entrance with utility staircase to the boiler room. Designer Greg |
|
 |
| Palmer (Palmer Interior Design) worked with the home owners to develop a floor plan that created a sunroom in the "shed" area adjoining a renovated kitchen. A feature of this plan was the use of box window cantilevers to create additional space as well as bringing much needed light into the home. Dining room and front entry way were also redesigned. |
The utility staircase was removed and filled and the old chimney was eliminated. The original boiler heating system was replaced with a high efficiency unit. Note the new custom double hung wood windows, French doors, and exterior woodwork detailing designed by Sakiyama Construction. |
|
 |
The view from the dining room was greatly enhanced by the installation of a custom double hung window (right) with casing and sills that match those originally present. |
|
 |
 |
|
The sunroom created by the new floor plan provided a bright eating area as well as convenient main floor computer station. Note the new cork flooring - warm, easy-care, and comfortable.
|
The new kitchen featured millwork by Legacy Cabinets and granite counters. Note the increased cabinet and counter space provided by the box cantilevers. All appliances were replaced as well as new plumbing and electrical fixtures. |
