Addition For Small Home

Small Home Needs Addition

Small Home Needs Addition

The owners of this tiny place wanted more room, but were not sure if their existing foundation would support a second story. In fact, the existing foundation was too small to accommodate that. CSES designed an addition which avoided over-stressing this older foundation, and so these folks will get their expanded house, without the $30,000 cost of replacing the existing foundation.

Our solution to the problem involved combining a partial second story (over the existing house) with a new, smaller two story addition. This scheme also created a nice garden entry with house on three sides, which the owner loved.

We try to stay creative and get folks what they want!
