Renovating for the Family

When homeowners open their houses to us to renovate we often get a close glimpse into the things that are important to them. We are currently working on a project in Chastian Park with a special story and design request.  The homeowner’s mother had lovingly painted a mural in their young daughter’s room and then unfortunately passed away after its completion. When planning their second floor addition and relocation of their daughter’s room, the clients asked our architect Donna Southwick if there was any way to save and move this family treasure. Donna took up the challenge and designed the new space to work with the old mural and our crews managed to carefully remove the wall and relocate it to the second floor. It took planning, time, and a crew that valued the mural that was important to this family. Here’s Donna in front of the mural in its new location. Now it will be covered and protected until the conclusion of the project when the homeowners will have a new second floor space for their family to grow while keeping a treasured heirloom.
