Midvale

Tucked into a tree lined lot in the Dunthorpe Neighborhood, the Midvale project encompasses a full remodel and addition. Our objective was to undo years of renovations and return to the original character and details of this mid century home.

The design incorporates an updated, open kitchen and living space, with the addition of a mudroom, laundry and expanded primary bedroom. The design preserves the house’s wood beams and tongue and groove wood paneling throughout, adding skylights and new brick fireplace cores to compliment its existing charm. A large covered patio off the back of the house will expand the living space and create year-round backyard enjoyment. A new covered carport will link the house to a new workshop building. 

The project utilizes energy efficient measures that include upgrading the windows, adding new insulation to the walls and roof, and installing a heat pump water heater and heat pump HVAC system.
