Shaking it up, inside and out

Things are moving along smoothly at our Ranch-to-MidCentury renovation. Pier foundations are in and floor framing is being completed.  The interior is also getting a big shake up.  

​​A big part of the design for this house are the changes to the exterior fenestration. After exploring a few directions, we settled on a vertical window design.  ​​To accomplish this, we needed to seamlessly fill in existing openings while opening new ones.  In these photos you'll see how the mason has removed the brick from the existing. He's meticulously removed the mortar and debris so we may reuse around the building.

On the interior, we've blown everything out!  The formerly chopped up living room, dining room, kitchen and hallway have been demo'd to give us one large open space.  In the photo below, we're looking toward the back of the house into to what will be an open kitchen/dining room area overlooking the new deck. You'll see here we are also reframing the ceiling to really open the space.

More updates to come. We should see some walls going up on the addition soon.  Come back to see how it progresses!
