Sackville Project

This addition project, completed by Added Spaces Renovations, took place in the Sackville area and was eight weeks in duration.

For this project the clients' primary aim was to add living space, while adapting their home's interior to better suit their needs. The project itself consisted of a 20'x20' (approx.), 2-storey addition (see photos 1 & 2) to the rear of the home, with some interior renovations to blend the new and old. The additional living space allowed for the rearrangement and rededication of various living spaces inside the home.

Upstairs, the addition provided the owners with a generously sized master bedroom with ample storage, as well as allowing the washer and dryer to be located in the new upstairs hall (more in keeping with today's trend of placing the washer/dryer combo near the bedrooms, where the majority of the laundry is generated). A full bathroom (see photo 3) was also placed adjacent to the master bedroom, servicing the entire upstairs.

Downstairs, the additional space was utilized to provide a new, expansive recreation room. A false wall was designed to house a state-of-the-art entertainment center and propane fireplace in a flush-face installation (see photo 4). Additional sound-proofing was provided between floors to isolate sound generated by the surround sound system and minimize disturbance throughout the rest of the home. The former recreation room was consequently transformed into a dedicated office/workspace, a necessity for the clients. This involved the demolition and removal of the existing masonry hearth and consequent floor repairs as well as matching into and extending the existing shelving. A second bathroom was also provided, servicing the downstairs.

Outside, the existing vinyl siding and soffet materials were able to be closely matched, saving the cost of a complete residing job. The homeowners invested in replacing all of the windows in the home with quality all-vinyl units, opting for a better performance and increased energy efficiency. Exterior decking was adapted to the new layout of the home and the new downstairs exterior door (see photo 5).
