Home Gut Renovation in the Countryside
Power pans, finish plans, reflected ceiling plans, site plans, interior & exterior elevations, and details are as important as the construction plan to ensure there is a new outlet at the new appliance, new light over the new table, new walking path around the home, new insulation in the walls, identify what the finishes are, and what the design will look like vertically (elevation) in addition to the horizontal plans. The property had been abandoned for some time when the new owner purchased it, and they purchased it with no plans nor drawings of the home or property — so AGD created them from scratch during existing conditions documentation or order to have accurate dimensions and layouts to start our redesign from.

When you drive up to the existing home on the 7 acres of land, the first part of the home you see is the non-impressive garage door — so AGD came up with a concept to add new planters, sconces, proper driveway & walkway, clad the brick, porch columns & fireplace in stone, redo the existing bay window in dark gray paint along with all the exterior trim, replace the exterior siding with white stucco, and add a proper patio & outdoor kitchen for entertaining.

The existing cellar was nothing to write home about, but with AGD’s inspiration for a proper enclosed laundry room, addition of a powder room, closing off the mechanical area while relocating the electrical panel there, adding a home office with sliding doors to open/close it to the rest of the space, cladding the existing columns in stone, creating a family room, adding a dropped ceiling, cellar pantry, storage area, and seasonal clothing storage — it will be!

The existing stair from the main level to cellar was completely enclosed, so AGD opened it up, added a skylight above, and plants below to bring light & life to the cellar while recreating a stair that better welcomed people downstairs.
