Palisades House 

This original house was constructed back in 1959. Over the years it has gone through a number of small renovations, including a basement conversion into a suite. When our clients bought the house, they wanted to reverse it back into a single family home so they could use the entire house for their own needs.

Our design team sat down with them to discuss their needs and wants for the new renovation. It was decided that the home would take on a modern shape in place of the original post and beam design and have all of the new modern features and comforts of today's luxuries.

Firstly we begun with redesigning the exterior of the home, giving it a new modern look.
At the front and both sides of the house a *faux parapet roof wall was added to give the house a taller look and accent the roof line.
Thanks to the large overhang soffits, we were able to add a *faux pillar under the overhang going all the way down to the grade to give the house a taller stance.

The carport walls were framed in to close in for the new garage area and custom aluminum /glass garage doors were installed.
All of the original siding and stone was removed all around the house to prepare the facade and remaining exterior walls for an *Aluminum Longboard and Hardi siding panels with the addition of ceramic tile on the walls to accomplish that new modern design.

The original windows were then removed and replaced with new modern windows, factory painted in metallic silver to accentuate the frames. On the side of the house the original vaulted shape windows were replaced with one piece modern all glass units. The front bedroom windows were re-framed to align with the lower windows and connected with *mirror panels for a seamless look to “imitate” the *curtain wall window assembly for which the budget did not allow for.

The existing deck was enlarged to allow for a covered *BBQ cover feature and the deck was covered with exterior grade 8”x 48” wood grain ceramic tiles to match the interiors wood plank flooring.

The homes' interior was reconfigured into a new space for a powder room, a large master bedroom and two smaller bathrooms were joined together into one to create one oversize ensuite bathroom.
