Plaza Midwood, CharlotteProject Scope:
Custom RedesignThe window and door placement, and the exterior materials and proportions all required approval by the Historic District Commission. Working with them proved to be quite a challenge, and it took a considerable amount of time, but the resulting two-story home addition meets all of the requirements for both the city of Charlotte and the growing family who calls it home.
“This is our second time using ReVision Design on our historic 1930’s home. We’ve had wonderful experiences on both occasions. We just completed our second remodel which included a second-story addition, sunroom, mudroom, master bedroom suite, and laundry room. We highly recommend this team for anyone looking for quality work in Charlotte that sticks to their timeline. Our project was completed before the estimated timeline.”
– Andrea Tremble, Charlotte, NC
A Neutral Palette Stands the Test of Time in this Historic Home Addition
To bridge the new space with the old one, and create a cohesive atmosphere throughout the entire home, a neutral palette of soft black and cream paired with natural textures can be found throughout.
Shiplap walls in the addition give the space a sense of casual character and age that fit with the feel of the house. The width of the new hardwoods was matched to the narrow boards of the original home, and a traditional grid pattern was specified for the windows and doors. The result is a home with all the character and charm of its historic roots, with new spaces for functionality and modern living as well.
