Built in 1947, this Craftsman style single family residence has been in the same family since its construction. The owner's father built the house himself with a unique concrete block that his company manufactured right in Springfield, Georgia. The current owner, who inherited it from her parents, and grew up in the home, contacted Lominack Kolman Smith Architects to help her realize her ideas for the rehabilitation project. Construction began in March 2010 and is scheduled for a fall completion. All mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems are being updated, the roof and windows replaced, and all new finishes are slated for the interior. Additionally, the former porte-ce-chere is being enclosed to create a screened porch, the original sun room restored, and the former two car garage is becoming a family room, laundry room, and guest suite. The interior ceilings throughout the living areas are being raised to the underside of the roof and a loft added above the bedrooms. A new stair from the office provides access to the loft, but also serves as a focal point and a work of art. Other upgrades include landscaping and site work, new bathrooms, a new kitchen, and a new entry roof to redefine the front entrance. The kitchen will be a true reflection of the Craftsman style with custom hand scraped cabinets, and retro appliances. The floor plan has been opened up to allow visibility from the kitchen to the living area while maintaining the historic integrity of the floor plan. |
