Duration:
8 Months
Project Type
Residential construction
Project Area:
3,200 sq. ft.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Johnson family wanted a home that could grow with them. We designed and built a two-story, 3,200 sq. ft. residence with an open-plan ground floor, four bedrooms, and a dedicated home office, all on a sloped suburban lot.
PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
Large south-facing windows fill the living areas with daylight, while deep roof overhangs keep summer heat out. Durable fiber-cement cladding, a covered patio, and a two-car garage with built-in storage round out a home made for everyday family life.
CHALLENGE
The lot dropped nearly six feet from front to back. Instead of costly excavation, we stepped the foundation to follow the slope, which created a walk-out lower level and kept the project on budget.
PROJECT KEY POINTS
• Stepped foundation designed around the natural slope of the lot
• Open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space for family gatherings
• Energy-efficient windows, insulation, and HVAC to lower running costs
• Low-maintenance exterior materials chosen for long-term durability
• Completed in eight months with weekly progress updates for the owners
CONCLUSION
The Modern Family Residence shows how careful planning turns a challenging site into a real advantage. The Johnsons moved in on schedule to a bright, efficient home built for years of family life.
