Our work
The owners of this historic Chevy Chase Village bungalow were struggling to work from home during the pandemic. They asked Gilday Renovations to convert an under-utilized back porch into a dedicated office space.
The designers specified removing a wall between the main house and the porch to open up the entire area and maximize available space. They captured additional square footage by expanding the office into the existing home, reconfiguring an under-utilized full bath to a powder room, and using foam insulation to minimize the depth of the exterior walls while achieving the required R-value.
Custom-designed windows with double-pane insulating glass, preserve the existing historic profile while maintaining exterior trim to match the rest of the home. In addition to a brightly lit home office, the renovation improved the overall flow in the rooms at the rear of the house.
