An amazing Boise home addition

by Michael Boss | Apr 3, 2018 | Blog, Home Additions

We approach every remodel project with the intent of having a dramatic impact on the lives of our clients. You might say that we are in the business of amazing.

Vision

Our client wanted a dining area that would fit her entertainment aspirations, but her current dining room was just too small to meet her needs.

Challenge

Rather than try to expand the size of the dining room within the existing footprint of the home, we saw an opportunity to create an addition that would not only serve as a dedicated dining space, but would also transform the backyard. One thing we needed to be sure of, however, was that we protected the gorgeous catalpa tree was a key feature of the backyard.

Accomplishment

With its high ceiling and multitude of windows, the new room made for a dramatic setting for entertaining. This was especially the case at night, when the landscape lighting made the windows instantly transparent — to beautiful effect! To protect the catalpa tree, we exposed its roots and hired a tree preservationist to cut and treat the root following his evaluation of the construction’s impact on the tree.

Highlights

Besides adding a beautiful dining area for our client, the new addition gave a courtyard feel to the back patio. Since the kitchen had looked into the backyard before the addition of the dining room, we added a skylight to preserve its source of natural light. Sometimes you can have your cake and eat it too.
