Plans, Sections, and Elevations

The plans and elevations provide essential technical details regarding the dimensions, material selections, and constraints of the project’s space. The main challenge was to renovate the existing area while incorporating a studio-like addition to the main home, all the while avoiding excessive intrusion into the paved section of the lot.
