The Narragansett Bay Commission recently allocated land and funds for the construction of a new animal shelter during a land acquisition transaction with the City Of Providence.

Heald Residence

March 1, 2009 – 5:23 PM

Location| Warren, RI
Type| addition, alteration
Area| 550 sf addition + existing renovations
Association| SPM Design
Builder| Kenwood Construction
Kitchen Consultant| Classic Kitchens

Status| complete (winter 2009)

 

The owners of this residence desired a spacious kitchen and dinning room transformation to accommodate their lifestyle in their 50’s beach house.

The house, located on the eastern shoreline of the Kickemuit River, has seen transformation over the years. Initially constructed as a 2 story with garage below, the previous owner had already added a family room. However the original galley kitchen was better suited for making sandwiches rather than family meals.

Also included in the addition/renovation is a new 1/2 bath, remodel of the main bathroom, and radiant floor heating throughout the new stone flooring. The house exterior was also completely repainted, new gutters and downspouts, and the addition/replacement of several energy efficient windows. Plans to enhance landscape are set for the near future.

Elkins Residence

March 1, 2009 – 12:23 PM

Location| Rumford, RI
Type| addition, renovation
Area| 700 sf addition + existing renovations
Association| SPM Design
Builder| Kenwood Construction

Status| complete (winter 2008)

 

The owners of the house are newcomers to the RI area and have settled here for career opportunities. They were able to acquire the home at an affordable price and were looking to renovate the house to suit their lifestyle.

Essentially the house is a typical “four-square”, 2-story plus walk-up attic and full basement. The owners’ request was to add more area to the kitchen and master bedroom quadrant of the house. The kitchen is expanded by 130SF, while the upstairs bedroom gains 210 SF with a new master bedroom and walk in closet. A front wrap around porch is also added to reflect the owners’ southern influences and provide “curb appeal” to the property.

“We are EXTREMELY PLEASED with your help in our project. And strongly believe without your participation the project would not have come out as fantastic as it did. If we buy land and build in this area we’ll be giving you a call!” - the client

Also included in the addition/renovation is a complete rebuild of all interior walls and millwork, exterior insulation, new windows, new siding, new electrical and energy efficient heating and ventilation systems. A new backyard deck is also part of the design and plans to rebuild a new garage are set for the neat future.
