Radnor Transitional Addition & Whole Home Remodel

A Complete Luxury Transformation With a Two-Story Addition and Open-Concept Living

Project Overview

Project Location : Radnor, PA

Project Type : Whole Home Remodel + Two-Story Addition

Timeline : 12 Months

Budget : $900,000

This project completely transformed the home from a closed-in, outdated layout into a stunning open-concept design with a two-story addition that redefined both function and style. The remodel expanded the footprint, created a vaulted-ceiling family room, added a spacious master bathroom, and modernized finishes throughout.

From structural engineering to custom cabinetry and premium material selections, every detail was carefully designed to combine timeless beauty with modern functionality.

The Challenge

Before the remodel, the home felt disconnected, dated, and limited by its existing layout:

A closed-in floor plan without flow between spaces

A small kitchen footprint that restricted functionality

A compact, outdated master bathroom lacking comfort

No large family room for gatherings or entertaining

Dated finishes and fixtures throughout the entire home

The goal was to reimagine the home entirely — creating more space, improving natural light, and blending high-end finishes with transitional design.

Our Solution

We executed a full-scale renovation and two-story addition designed to enhance livability, improve aesthetics, and create a seamless connection between each space.

Key Improvements

Installed multiple steel and LVL beams to completely open the first floor and achieve a true open-concept design

Built a two-story addition to enlarge the master bathroom and create a vaulted-ceiling family room

Installed prefinished engineered white oak floors throughout for durability and timeless appeal

Designed and built full custom cabinetry for the kitchen, bathrooms, and living spaces

Upgraded all windows, doors, and hardware with premium materials for performance and aesthetics

Integrated cohesive finishes across every space for a modern, transitional look
