Historic Home Remodel & Addition in Oakland Hills

This project involved a carefully planned addition and partial interior remodel of a historic home in the Oakland Hills. Preserving the character of the original structure while introducing new living space was a central consideration throughout the process. A new great room and kitchen were added, requiring close attention to exterior detailing to ensure a seamless transition between old and new. The lower level was remodeled to include a new bathroom and laundry room, improving functionality without altering the home’s established footprint. Plumbing and electrical systems were updated to support the expanded layout and modern demands. Outdoor improvements included a new deck extending from the addition and a pea-gravel driveway designed to complement the home’s setting and scale. Each decision balanced performance, durability, and visual continuity. The completed project delivers expanded living space that feels integrated rather than appended, respecting the home’s history while supporting contemporary use.
