Remodel West

Oct 2014

With a clear vision in mind the RemodelWest design team went to work on completing the architectural and interior design plans for the project. The homes original floor plan within the public area of the home includes five separate rooms creating a compartmentalized and isolated feeling. For a busy social family this was the antithesis to a quality of life they desired. The first task at hand was to create one large open space for the family to enjoy by combining the Entry, Living Room, Dining Room, Kitchen, Nook and Family Room. This is no easy task and involves more than just knocking out a few walls. In the most intense seismic zone of the country removing walls triggers additional structural work to the home in order to, not just maintain, but improve the structural integrity of the building while simultaneously removing some of its bones. Here enters the installation of beams to support the roof structure where the old walls were and solid shear walls to stiffen the building in the event of movement. This commonly involves excavating underneath the home to pour additional concrete foundation. A large percentage of the budget went back into the bones of the structure behind the walls but the benefit is realized everyday as our clients can be working in the kitchen at the front of the home seeing all the way to the backyard pool.
