If at all possible, many of us would prefer to spend our twilight years in the houses we’ve turned into homes, near the people and places we love. Thanks to advances in technology, wider availability of services for the elderly at home, and most importantly, the advent of aging in place design, safely remaining at home and independent is now a viable option for every homeowner.

Design of the Year Contest – Remodel/Addition Category

Designed by Jorge Arreola of Greymark Construction Co. using Chief Architect Premier X12.

Please select “like” to vote for this submission.

“This project was a solution for two main situations: a small kitchen, and a poorly located stairwell to the 2nd floor. The homeowner's lifestyle required a more open concept kitchen and a bigger size to accommodate all the guests and have a better flow on the 1st floor between the kitchen, dining, and living areas. Relocating the stairwell to the front room increased traffic flow without interference to the access to the 2nd floor. The final project is a beautiful kitchen remodel.”
