Additions and remodeling in Encino, Los Angeles County
Home additions in Encino
Encino home additions for a family that has outgrown its bedrooms, planned around the hallway that reaches the new room and storage built into the walls.
A home addition becomes the first job on an Encino property when the family has outgrown its bedrooms but the yard still has room to give. A new bedroom, sometimes with a bath beside it, adds space without packing up and moving. Before sketching it, we look at how everyone will get to the new room, because a bedroom that can only be entered through another one makes daily life harder for everyone in the house.
Reaching the new bedroom
Where an addition joins the house decides how people move through it. A connection from a hallway works best, so nobody walks through a sibling's room or the living room to get to bed. If the hall ends at an exterior wall, extending it into the addition can be the simplest route. When it does not, a former closet or part of a large room may give up space for a short passage. We sketch the path from the front door and from the kitchen to the new room, then check that a bathroom close by can serve one more person on a busy school morning.
Closets and storage in the addition
Storage is easiest to get right while an addition is still being framed. A reach-in closet with sliding or bifold doors takes the least floor space, and a deeper room can hold a small closet you step into. A linen closet in the new stretch of hallway keeps towels and bedding close to where they are used. Shelves built into a wall around a window seat or a desk keep a child's room tidy without extra furniture. We frame all of it with the walls and show it on the plans LADBS reviews, so the storage looks like part of the house from the start.
