Recent and Current Projects
I thought I'd share with you some of my more recent projects that I've created plans for: August 2011- Conversion of a bank barn to a three story residence in Loudoun County, VA. 90 plus linear feet of second floor covered porches. The house will have a one-car basement garage, kitchen, dining and living rooms on the main floor, and two bedrooms with baths on the upper floor. Permitting application not yet submitted. June 2011- Second floor addition to an existing house in Fairfax County, VA. Owner has acquired the building permit. May 2011- Detached two-car garage and two-story addition to an existing house in Prince William County, Virginia. Current build in process. April 2011- Two-car detached garage with a boat house in Louisa County, VA. The site was sloped and fill was needed under the floor slab. The foundation walls and concrete floor slab was designed to withstand the extra loads. Permit application not yet submitted. Contact me if you need plans drawn up for an upcoming project.

How to Modify Your Home to Age in Place
I recently designed a 17' by 20' addition that is now being built on the back of the house that includes a bedroom and bathroom with complete wheel chair access including a roll-in (curbless) shower and roll under sink. Modifications were made to the existing structure for better access. The kitchen was remodeled, the hallway widened, and master bath was enlarged and is also wheelchair accessible now. The roof addition was enhanced to hold a "live load" for a track system for transfers between the new bedroom and bathing area. Additional deck is being added to meet the addition and new exterior door. Consider modifying your home so that you can continue to live independently.
Are You Thinking About Aging in Place?
Aging in place is the ability to live in one's own home - wherever that might be - for as long as possible. A majority of Americans are choosing to remain in their homes as they mature. Studies have shown that remaining in your own home promotes a healthier, safer and happier life. Plan ahead for the environmental modifications your home requires. You will want to have all of your living space on one level and eliminate the future need for stairs. If your bedroom and bathroom are currently on a second level, create space on the main level with an addition to your home. Planning ahead provides the advantage of making the required modifications in stages. The first stage to modifying your home is to have plans drawn for the additional space.
