To start off, a small snippet of the damage from the outside. You can see all the patched up windows and the patched up roof holes from where the fire broke through or the fire brigade broke through to put it out. A daunting start!
Walking into the front, we have the main floor living room where we removed and replaced walls with full structure beams. This gave the living space an entirely open flow between the living room, dining room and kitchen. Behind the scenes, EVERY nook and cranny's been jammed with Roxul insulation, even between the floors for energy conservation and sound dampening.
The otherside view of the open living space. A large 4x6 window absolutely floods the living room with natural light. The window's tinted so you can't see in from outside. Unfortunately, no shots of the old framing before we changed around the configuration.
Getting closer into the kitchen. Showroom cabinets that had to be sold to make room for the new models, cleverly retrofitted by the "boss" into the new kitchen space. Again... lots of natural light splashing onto the "elegant white" cupboards and tile floors.
A quick shot of one of the bedrooms. Pretty simple really. New pvc window. Huge closet space. Another clever bit of design that the old man came up with was to put the new HVAC (one for each floor) actually hidden deep into closets like these. With the brand new, quiet HVAC systems combined with all the new insulation, you could hear trappist monks more loudly.
Some reframing created a slightly larger bathroom (and larger master bedroom closet). We've had significant positive feedback from the people living in the spaces with the bathroom designs that we only modify it to fit the different spaces. Bathrooms and kitchens are always the selling points.
