FEATURED PROJECT

Clarkston Road, Oakland, MI

This project features an extensive home reconstruction, highlighted by a significant addition that doubled the size of the original house. The primary objective was to preserve the inherent value of the existing structure and maintain its original aesthetic as much as possible. The major alteration involved transforming the original eat-in kitchen into a new master bathroom, while all other existing areas were refreshed.
