Additions & EXTERIOR SPACES
- New space your family will love
- Inviting transitions to the out of doors
- Masterful use of stone
A fresh look with everyone at the design table often creates a new concept which exceeds your expectations and may cost less than you anticipated. To make it easy and inviting to transition from your addition to the outdoors, we use Japanese concepts of privacy, viewpoint, and atmosphere. Our outdoor spaces simultaneously serve as hidden stormwater management systems.
“We could not have been happier with both the process and the results of our work with Polly Bart and Greenbuilders in building a small addition onto our Mt. Washington home. She carefully walked us through the entire process in advance, warning us about the inevitable difficulties of temporarily turning our home into a construction zone (although, truth be told, she and her workers were extremely careful to minimize the intrusions into our life.
Polly offered us several alternatives at every step, depending on our preferences for cost, design and environmental impact, and helped us reuse several elements from a smaller room that we tore down for the new project. She always finds ways to do the job less expensively and with less impact on the environment—though she doesn’t push that on you. Her quality is excellent; she holds her subs to the highest standards, and she holds your hand from start to finish.
The end result was an affordable, carefully constructed bedroom/sitting room (with full bath) that no one can distinguish from the original house. The design award that we won from the Mt. Washington Improvement Association was a welcome recognition of the quality of the project. We would most definitely work with Greenbuilders again, and we would strongly recommend Polly to our neighbors and friends.” David and Amanda, Mt. Washington.
