Rockledge Revival! - Webber

One of our most recent projects to get an enthusiastic thumbs up from the client straight out of Schematic Design is by Studio Designer Rick Hamer.

Our clients, a young and energetic couple, are renovating this house to be their forever home. With an interest in fostering kids in the future, they wanted a versatile layout that could accommodate a growing family. With good bones and well proportioned spaces, this house was a no brainer. In addition to great open interior spaces, they wanted to reclaim unused exterior spaces. The addition of balconies, an updated courtyard, and solar shading help to hit those goals. Scroll over the before (photos) and after (renderings) to learn more about how Rick is transforming this house.
