Adding square footage to existing structures
Chicago's tight lot lines mean most homeowners can't simply buy a bigger property—they need to grow the one they have. Room additions expand your footprint with new bedrooms, family rooms, home offices, or sunrooms that integrate structurally with your existing foundation and roofline. Whether you're accommodating a growing family or adding space for aging parents, the right addition feels like it was always part of the original home.
We approach room additions as architectural challenges, not just construction projects. Every addition requires careful analysis of existing foundation capacity, load paths, roof tie-ins, and mechanical system extensions. Our architects design spaces that match your home's character while our engineers ensure structural integrity. Permit coordination through Chicago's building department comes standard—we know exactly what inspectors want to see.
Your addition will connect to your home through properly detailed transitions that prevent water infiltration, air leakage, and the visual disconnect that plagues poorly planned expansions. We match exterior materials, align rooflines, and extend interior finishes so the addition reads as original construction. The result is more space that feels like it belongs.
