Lakefront Green Remodel

See progress photos on Facebook!

Using the Not So Big® remodel philosophy - quality not quantity - we designed this Marion County, FL, remodel without

adding square footage - only adding a front porch. Before design even began, an energy analysis was used to evaluate cost savings

of materials and systems. Beginning the design process by moving the front door, then moving the interior stairs, afforded plenty of

space inside for an open Great Room. This eliminated the maze of small rooms which didn't focus on the beautiful view of the lake,

now seen from all rooms in the house. On the outside, the 1970s painted concrete block is given some style with new

fibercement siding and an EnergyStar roof (the design supports a metal roof, but the fiberglass shingles gave a similar look and

durability for a better price). The 1,700 s.f. home plus garage and porches remains modest with 2 master suites, situated at either

end of the house for privacy. Each bedroom is further separated from the Great Room by bathrooms and storage areas. Windows

are placed for cross-ventilation and views of the sunset over the lake. Durability and ease of maintenance continues with the

original oak wood floors, new tile in bathrooms, granite countertops, built-in cabinetry and wood trim throughout. Currently under

construction by Adolf Construction of Ocala, FL, with an expected finish of February 2012.
