Most renovations and additions help add functionality to a home. Some even repair or remove inconvenient features that were remnants of old building techniques. More and more homeowners are beginning to work with residential design construction firms on renovations that enhance the comfort and style of the home. This often means building an addition or combining multiple existing rooms into a single open area. These projects create a distinctive and sometimes unexpected space.
indoor pool
Many houses have outdoor pools. A much smaller number have an indoor pool. The indoor pools create a distinctive interior space that has a different feel and atmosphere than the rest of the interior rooms. A qualified residential design construction company can build the pool as a direct addition to the home or in a nearby stand-alone building. Popular designs include walls with large windows that overlook the surrounding property and polished natural stone floors. Underwater lighting, benches along the walls, and radiant heating keep the space comfortable and functional, whatever the season. Some homeowners choose to build a pool in a circular or irregular shape to accommodate unusual designs and available space.
Kitchen entertainment area
A kitchen does not have to be a private space intended solely for cooking. Some designer construction firms are integrating kitchens into large, open modern living spaces. These areas hide appliances like dishwashers and stoves behind long countertops. All cooking and food preparation takes place behind the counter. The counter area faces a wide, open space containing capes, chairs, and low tables. A high ceiling may contain skylights that reflect light off the marble floors. The walls have clean lines and built-in entertainment options like TVs and surround sound speakers. The purpose of the space is to provide an area for entertaining where everyone feels comfortable. No one has to disappear into a kitchen to prepare food.
home-spa
A home spa offers a place for entertainment and relaxation. Spas can occupy multiple rooms in the house and have a variety of features for added comfort. Most focus on a hot tub set in the ground or on a raised deck. Upholstered diapers and chairs line the walls for people who don’t want to sit in the water. Sandstone or travertine tiles create a distinctive floor. Other features of the space may include a fireplace, a glass wall overlooking an outdoor fountain, and balconies that overlook the spa from the upper floors of the home.
