Seamless Addition: A Perfect Blend of Old and New

Background

When builder Josh McDowell undertook an addition to an existing house, he had a clear vision: maintain the charm and style of the original structure without the hassle and expense of ordering new knives to match the existing mouldings. This approach allowed McDowell & Jordan to avoid labor and added expense.

Challenge

The key challenge was to seamlessly integrate new beams into an addition while ensuring the new trim profiles matched the original home’s architectural style. This required selecting profiles that would create a harmonious flow between the old and new structures.

Solution

To meet this challenge, ITC Millwork representative Jenny Taylor carefully selected a series of trim profiles that closely resembled the original aesthetic. Leveraging Koetter Woodworking's EnvisionIT design tool, Jenny created detailed drawings to visualize the proposed profiles. This step ensured all parties were on the same page before moving forward.

Implementation & Outcome

The drawings were presented to the client for approval and put into action, resulting in a harmonious blend with the original house, preserving its unique character. By meticulously selecting compatible profiles and utilizing Koetter Woodworking’s EnvisionIT design tool for visualization, ITC Millwork ensured seamless integration of the new addition with the existing home. This approach satisfied the builder's desire for design continuity and avoided extensive and costly removal and replacement of the original architectural trim and details.
