KINGS HIGHWAY: RENOVATION & ADDITION
An Alluring Oasis: Where Nature and Home Converge in a Year-Round Porch Space
The Project.
The Request.
In the picturesque Decatur neighborhood of Oakhurst, the owners of a charming bungalow embarked on a journey to infuse their home with modern touches and embark on an exciting design/build project. Their vision? To create a seamless addition off their kitchen—a captivating screened-in porch that would offer a year-round haven for dining and lounging. With their expanded backyard space as our canvas, we delved into a comprehensive renovation that encompassed not only the physical structure but also the very essence of their abode. A fresh façade became the cornerstone of our transformation, as we carefully selected a new color palette to breathe new life into their beloved home. Repainting the exterior was just the beginning; we thoughtfully incorporated new lighting elements, establishing a harmonious connection between the new addition and the existing residence, forging a sense of unity and cohesion. As the project unfolded, this bungalow in Oakhurst underwent a remarkable metamorphosis, merging modern sensibilities with the charm of its heritage, resulting in a truly enchanting dwelling that effortlessly blends old-world allure with contemporary design.

The Results.
The Lounge.
A captivating brick fireplace takes center stage, serving as an anchoring focal point that effortlessly warms the cool embrace of the Fall and Winter months. This inviting lounge area becomes a sanctuary where sports enthusiasts and cinema aficionados alike can gather to enjoy thrilling matches or indulge in late-night movie marathons. A plush sectional sofa beckons on lazy Sundays, inspiring moments of relaxation and reflection. Picture yourself enveloped in its comfort, savoring a steaming cup of morning coffee, wrapped snugly in a soft throw, as you immerse yourself in the pages of the morning paper. This lounge area embodies the epitome of comfort and style, inviting you to unwind, recharge, and indulge in simple pleasures within a setting that exudes undeniable allure.
