Our project is a 1980s, single story house with a walk out basement, located in Ann Arbor Hills. Like many of the homes Rochman Design Build works on, our team will be taking out the walls between the kitchen and dining room to give our clients more flow and space. We will also be re-arranging the back entry, renovating the mudroom, creating a working pantry, and - of course - renovating the kitchen. The living room will also be getting an addition of a light shaft as well as built in shelves and the bathroom will go from a 1980s feel to a more Zen space, complete with a free standing tub.
Please follow along this current work blog to see the transformation.
