Layout, Walls and Structural Changes

Kitchen Additions and Bump-Outs

Add room for a bigger island, a breakfast nook or a pantry by extending the kitchen outward, built to match the rest of the house.

Sometimes the layout you want simply will not fit in the room you have. A bump-out adds a few feet to one side of the kitchen, enough for a bigger island, a built-in breakfast nook, a walk-in pantry or a wall of windows. A larger addition can double the kitchen. In Nashville, where lots and zoning vary, an addition is an option for homeowners who love their home and neighborhood and want more space without moving.

We begin with feasibility: setbacks, utilities, foundation and roof lines, and what approvals are required. Then we design the addition so it looks like part of the original house, matching siding, windows, trim and roof pitch. Construction includes foundation, framing, roofing, exterior finishes, insulation, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling and interior finishes. We tie the addition into the existing structure and the existing kitchen so the two spaces read as one, and we manage permits and inspections along the way.

Feasibility first

Setbacks, utilities, foundation and approvals are reviewed before design begins.
