Summary:

This project involved the alteration and addition of an upper floor to an existing 1920's split level home to capture beautiful water views. The renovation itself was pretty straightforward involving the use of steel beams and timber floor joists with a brick veneer upper floor. This particular project was constructed for a couple on an extremely tight budget. Money was carefully devoted to big ticket items while we attempted to re-use a lot of the existing structure and some appliances. The end result was the transformation of, a many times renovated, 1920's Californian into a classically designed French provincial home. Given the tight budget I feel it was a maximum use of materials and design while minimising the cost.
