Halifax Project

Added Spaces Renovations completed this addition project in Halifax in four months.

This was a challenging project involving in the extension of the kitchen and rear entrance (see photos 1 & 2).

One of the most important features of note in this project is the engineering work that was required to properly address a culvert that existed underneath the rear of the home. It isn't every day one is required to deal with what amounted to a small brook running underneath a homes' foundation
(see photo 3).

While the amount that the rear of the home was extended was relatively small, it made a world of difference to the comfort and functionality of the previously cramped and claustrophobic kitchen. The installation of new high-quality windows, vinyl flooring and oak cabinets brightened and beautified the kitchen into a totally new space that still matched seamlessly into the existing décor (see photo 4). Original wainscotting was carefully removed and reused in the new space and existing trim was custom-milled on-site to ensure that nothing looked "new" or out of place.

Outside, the addition received cedar shakes matching those already on the house. Care was taken with both the design and finishes to blend the new construction into the old. The resulting addition looks as though it was always there (see photo 5 & 6).
