Maple Leaf Addition

In another great collaboration with Pathway Construction, live-work-play helped a couple plan for retirement and aging in place with a contemporary addition to this 1940’s home. We added a master suite  featuring a new accessible bath with grab bars and a zero-threshold shower for easy entry and mobility for aging in place.

Some of the energy efficient features include dense pack cellulose insulation for stronger sealing, insulation and reduction in air flow along with a spot energy recovery vent (ERV) to help with indoor air quality enhancing the other air-sealing systems.

Efficient window placement for daylighting was essential, not only to save energy costs, but for enjoyable viewing of the new permaculture gardens the homeowners created in collaboration with HGO.

What people are saying about live-work-play

Sheri led two projects for us—a nearly complete renovation of our house in 2016, and a renovation of our master bathroom in 2018. In each project, she came to the table with unbelievably creative concepts that we loved. Without fail, she delivered ideas and plans on time and under budget. She helped us in all aspects of the construction, from inception to final walk-through. The construction process can be confusing; Sheri was able to explain the inevitable challenges when they arose, and was able to offer valuable advice to overcome them. It was a pleasure to work with her. We cannot imagine a better partner in a renovation or construction project, and recommend her highly. She is amazing; you won’t be sorry.
