Adding an Addition to Your Colorado Springs Home

Make an Addition To Your Family…

Homeowners are always impressed by the difference a major space change can make in the quality of a family's life. You may love your home, however, its current floor plan does not meet your needs. The Remodeler can help! We specialize in designing and building additions that are perfect for your family’s lifestyle. We can customize additional space to accommodate a growing family or just maximize your living area.

Adding a room, sunspace, wing, or floor to your existing home might be a major undertaking. It can also be a fulfilling experience - especially if the project is well designed. Excellent design is critical since the addition can either enhance or detract from your existing structure.

At The Remodeler we understand the importance of thorough planning. We begin by evaluating the architectural style of your home. Is it contemporary, or traditional? Is it a Victorian bungalow, rancher, split level or colonial? Each home style has specific architectural lines and details, which can be mirrored in the design of your addition. Next, we design based on the appropriate scale of your project.

A common design mistake is an addition that either overshadows the original home, or is too small and insignificant to add to the overall architectural style. We encourage you to collect examples of ideas that interest you. This "homework" will help to identify your particular tastes. Take a look at the style of your home. Pay special attention to:

Consider which architectural details you want to repeat in the design of your addition. Repeating design elements is an excellent method of creating additions that look like part of the original. For example, your addition could include a dormer or arches that mirror others elsewhere on your home.

The design of the interior offers more flexibility, since its not viewed in its entirety, as is the exterior. Even so, you will still want to strive for a comfortable transition from existing space to new. The ceiling style and height can make a big difference in the tone of a room. A steep pitched roof on the exterior can make way for a dramatic cathedral ceiling on the interior. This can add drama to contemporary or traditionally designed space - in a living room, kitchen, bathroom, or family room. Very few things are more satisfying than living in a house that has been beautifully remodeled with a new addition. If you've taken the time to plan carefully and pay attention to the details that make it part of your home, you will love your new space for years to come.
