Home and Garden: Resize and remodel

Problem: 1950s Florida home in need of renovation and expansion

Solution: An L-shaped addition and structural remodeling to maximize the existing floor plan

When Trevor and Nikki Taylor began the remodel on their new home in Southside Village, they decided to put their existing home on the market, providing ample time to sell while their new home was being transformed. What the Taylors did not anticipate was their home selling in eight days. Having to separate the renovation into phases so they could move in as quickly as possible, the family’s first, and most drastic, renovation phase was completed in eight months.

More than 1,000 square feet was added to the existing floor plan during the renovation process. Interior modifications such as wall additions and removals, new windows and window placement and an overall redesign themed “upscale beachy coastal” was implemented to bring as much light and open space into the home as possible.
