Planning
[bundle] design studio worked their magic and drew up plans that made the relatively small space highly functional and comfortable. The major improvements included vaulting the ceiling, creating built in storage to maximize functional space and greatly improving the building performance of the home.
Building Performance
- The Re-Store was able re-use cabinets, trim, plumbing and electrical fixtures from the space.
- Baraa Woodworking built new cabinets with FSC certified plywood (formaldehyde free) and used a low VOC finish.
- We added a mini split heat pump and completed extensive air sealing and insulation to improve the overall building performance of the home.
- Spectrum Plumbing installed an advanced hot water distribution system to dramatically reduce the wait time for hot water, which will result in less wasted water.
- The clients elected to use all LED lighting because they are better on so many fronts! They are mercury free, last for decades and are dimmable. They also provide better light quality than CFL’s.
- Black Fin Design installed custom made handrails and railings made from steel, adding an industrial feel to the space.
