The Weir's were planning to retire to Arnold, but their 1400 Sq. Ft. cabin, built in the 1970's, did not meet their needs or lifestyle requirements. However, their cabin did sit on almost 1 acre of land, and had some extremely appealing views. Based on their visit to another of our design/build projects, they approached us  to design and construct a remodel to their existing cabin, which would suit both their lifestyle requirements, and their particular tastes, taking advantage of the site properties and the views.

The Hanson residence was a 2 bedroom, 1 bath, 800 Sq. Ft. cabin originally built in the 1960's. To make the cabin more livable, we designed a garage addition with a master bedroom and a bath above. The completed interior features new pine doors, an updated existing bathroom, additional windows, new high efficiency forced air heating, more energy efficient insulation and an overall design update, while maintaining the original cabin feel. The exterior has been updated with new siding, energy efficient vinyl windows and new exterior doors. The completed home now has a total of 1197 square feet of living space, with a 397 Sq. Ft. garage.

The Benson's wanted to add a new garage with maybe a game room above to their existing cabin. They were originally considering a detached building, but were concerned about access to it during the winter months. We developed a design for an addition to the existing structure which would give them the space they were looking for tied directly to the house. The addition with a garage below and a new great room above provides a much more livable home for their weekend getaways.
