The Challenges
They initially wanted to transform the ranch-style home into a more traditional cottage style. However, as the home was nearly 50 years old, the local Historical Department required preserving the original ranch design to maintain the neighborhood’s historical character.
The Solution
SSA worked closely with both the homeowner and the city’s Historical Department to create options that maintained the ranch-style architecture while also incorporating an expansion to meet the client’s needs. The collaborative process resulted in a design that both the Historical Board and the homeowner loved.
The Results
The final home was a stunning blend of historical preservation and modern functionality. The client achieved their dream home with a larger footprint, while the city preserved the ranch-style character of the neighborhood. Both parties were highly satisfied with the outcome.
