Remodels & Additions

Our dynamic team tackles projects across the spectrum, from large to small, straightforward to complex. With creative problem-solving, we’ll balance your budget with your dreams to bring a delightful project to life that you really love.

There’s a lot to consider in a home remodel, and we’ll help you define not only what you wish for, but what makes good sense for you to invest in, allocating resources where you’ll most appreciate the reward. The decision to tolerate the disruption a remodel brings means you’re especially committed to your home, your neighborhood, and your community.

We’ve honed our design approach to honor your choice to invest in the future of your property, and we look forward to shaping it into its next best version.

We’re well-versed in navigating the nuances of how to build up, down, or out on lots with a variety of tricky regulations. We lend a strategic eye early in your project to determine the optimal path to meet your needs within the parameters set both by you and the zoning code.

It’s not always what a first glance might suggest, but we offer tried-and-true solutions to ensure we move into design with a game plan that excites you. Tackling any kind of remodel means dealing with surprises throughout the process, so working with an experienced team is essential.

Rest assured, you’ll have the expertise and support of design professionals who can handle the inherent complexities of remodeling. We may not be able to anticipate every surprise when we’re opening up walls, but we’re pretty sure we’ve seen it all.

We know and love old houses, whether it’s a decade or two of wear and tear, or a hundred years of character. We’ll work with your home’s quirks to preserve what we should, put everything right, and let it shine for its next chapter.

Working with Board & Vellum means you reap the benefits of an integrated design team collaborating under one roof. We’re a lively group that enjoys working together, constantly engaging in multi-disciplinary design crits to enrich projects.

Especially on remodel projects, the line between architecture and interior design can often be fuzzy, but with easy access to everyone’s expertise — including landscape and site design — your project is always in good hands, benefitting from the unique perspectives of an interdisciplinary team. Project teams stay together throughout the life of a project, so you’ll have continuity every step of the way.

And, since everyone works on multiple projects, we learn fast, are continually exposed to new ideas, and constantly pull from our in-house knowledge base. No matter how your project team is composed, we have resources at the ready to make the absolute most of your home remodel project.

Making major changes to your home isn’t for the faint of heart, so if that’s the plan, we know you’re truly committed — and so are we. Every project will inevitably face a few challenges, so we foster a dynamic environment to facilitate quick answers and creative solutions to any problem that pops up.

Board & Vellum was built around the belief that we’re here in service of our clients, and we jump in with enthusiasm, humility, and a genuinely collaborative spirit. We’re not your typical design firm and we’d sincerely love the chance to show you why.
