This unique renovation project was highlighted several times on our social media channels and YouTube Channel as it progressed from original home to completed home addition. The original home structure - a 1,100 sf Pan-Abode Home - was left in the middle, while a two-storey addition was added to one end. On the other end, a floor was added above the old kitchen to create a spacious master bedroom with balcony.
This standard house framing could have taken 6 weeks to 4 months to complete. However, with BASF HP+™ Panelized Wall Systems, Kemp was able to get an additional 1, 000 square-feet installed in 11 hours, full exterior insulation included. (Fall 2019)
The Boundary Bay renovation saw siding and drywall completed in January and February 2020. In March, the rooms really started to take shape with lovely millwork and design touches. By April, we were delighted to bring another family home - although it’s not a completely unfamiliar space to them as their original wood home is now tucked in between new additions. We love the unique combination of new and old!
This project also utilized the talents of the teams at:
- Design by Sarah Gallop Design Inc.
- Millwork by Dove Millwork
- Time Lapse Videos by ElementOm Marketing
- Photography by Tracey Ayton Photography
Highlights:
- The owners love of the old wood interior walls was maintained in many parts and complemented by new wood accents.
- Original windows replaced with Enersave windows
- Reinsulated floor in existing original home
- Replaced old ventilation skylights with fixed skylights
- Old hot water system replaced with on demand
- Reclaimed the outdoor deck area on the west side of the home for a new master bedroom with small south facing deck
- Old metal roof was replaced with a new metal roof bridging the old and new additions.
