Many of us are imagining the future by looking out from our homes and observing the outside world. Homeowners are considering home additions to increase the usable square footage. This will help them adjust to work from home, remote schooling, being in good shape and having plenty of space for socializing. Fabling Built, your Richmond general contractor, will share five home additions that can be added to your home to increase its square footage.

Home Office Addition

Do you think that your formal dining room table can be transformed into a multi-purpose workspace for your family? We all felt the need to work from home. While many people made do with what they had, these temporary work areas are not sustainable long-term solutions for a functional home office or homework study. You can make the most out of working remotely by hiring a general contractor to help you build your home office and remote workspace. This will allow you to have a space that is specifically tailored for you.

Fabling Built knows that it is important to have enough space for a functioning desk and comfortable chair (NOT a breakfast bar stool); enough privacy for Zoom conference calls and private conversations; plenty of natural light, if possible, and fresh air. This will allow you to feel like you are separate from your home while still working in a productive environment. It will help you to disconnect from work by taking a methodical approach when designing your home office addition.

There is room above the garage addition

A garage can be converted into an apartment or additional living space. This can allow grown children to return home, in-laws, or guests to have more independence and privacy, or college-bound students to defer start dates due to uncertainty. If you are planning to add a separate living space, make sure that it has a separate entrance, a private bathroom, kitchenette and a place for socializing or work.

Addition to the Four-Seasons Porch or Sunroom

Families are spending less time driving to school, work, socials and sports and more time with their families. This means that we need to have space to relax, recharge, and meditate in order to find our inner peace, energy and independence. A general contractor will design your sunroom addition or four season porch to meet your needs. Fabling Built will ensure that your solution is tailored to your needs and not generic. You might like to enjoy a cool breeze and mosquito-free environment in a floor-to ceiling screened-in porch. You can also opt for no pollen with a floor to ceiling wall of windows and a four-seasons sunroom. Here you can exercise, do yoga, or just relax in a book.

Kitchen Addition

Bump-out additions are extensions that add to a wall or several walls, but not creating a new room. This is a way to increase the size of a room by extending the existing space. The kitchen bump-out is exactly that.

Living and working together 24 hours a day has brought new benefits and routines. These include family dinners and organizing clutter to make it easier to work together. As homeowners adapt to the changes in life, they realize that a minor kitchen expansion or bump-out could help ease the stress of a small kitchen.

Fabling Built can help you design the perfect custom kitchen floor plan.

Master Suite Addition

A master suite addition is so sweet. When creating a private space inside your home, comfort and convenience are paramount. A master suite addition is more spacious than a bedroom extension. It includes one or two walk-in closets, a master bathroom with dual vanities and a large shower. There’s also plenty of natural light for soaking in the sun. The master bedroom zone has a sitting area that can be used to have a cup of coffee. A master suite is designed to meet your needs. It offers you the space and time to prepare for the day, relax in the evening, or unwind before going to bed.
