The Challenge
In the charming neighborhood of Easton Addition, a Burlingame family found themselves growing out of their beloved home. With a new addition to their family, the need for more space became pressing. However, they were keen on maintaining the architectural integrity that defines this historic area. The challenge lay in creating a modern, functional space that seamlessly blended with the existing structure and adhered to Burlingame's stringent building codes and design aesthetics. They wanted an addition that would not only meet their practical needs but also enhance the overall value of their home.
Our Approach
Oria Builders approached the project with an emphasis on collaboration and meticulous planning. We began with a series of design meetings, ensuring every detail aligned with the homeowners' vision and the character of Easton Addition. Our team worked closely with local architects to draft a design that respected the neighborhood's traditional style while incorporating modern elements. We navigated the Burlingame permit process, meeting all local zoning regulations and building codes. Material selection was a key focus, opting for sustainable and premium materials that would stand the test of time in both function and style.
Build Process
Our construction team at Oria Builders executed the project with precision, starting with the careful demolition of the existing structure to make way for the new addition. We utilized advanced construction techniques to ensure the structural integrity of the build. Throughout the process, we maintained open communication with the homeowners, providing updates on progress and addressing any concerns immediately. Key phases included framing, roofing, and the installation of high-efficiency windows to maximize natural light while maintaining energy efficiency. Despite the complexity, our team managed the timeline effectively, completing the project on schedule.
