Project: Update a Traditional 1950’s Ranch

We are currently in the process of updating a traditional 1950’s ranch with a contemporary open floor plan. Open floor plans are nice for several reasons but, primarily, they allow for a small space to appear larger and make entertaining a cinch!

The image above has been rendered using a 3D modeling program that will act as an aid in visualizing the final space. We typically create images like this for all of our projects, as it not only helps us during the construction phase but it also helps our clients get a better idea of how the final project will turn out.

Below are some pictures of the what the space looks like currently. The three main entertaining areas of this home (the living room, dining room and kitchen) are all next to each other but separated by walls with narrow doors. As you walk in the front door, you walk directly into the largest room of the house - the living room.



To get to the kitchen, you can either walk through a door in the dining room or through a pocket door in the living room (the dining room has knotty pine walls and is located to the left in this picture).

The image below is mid construction and illustrates how the kitchen looks sans the surrounding walls. An island with additional cabinetry will be added to the space, as well as new appliances.


Stay tuned for images of the final product soon. We should have them posted within the next several weeks!
