Kitchen Remodel & Additions

A new (remodeled) kitchen is an opportunity to introduce a dramatic, hand-crafted aesthetic into the heart of your home. Effective work triangles and modern appliances are important, but the secret to a stand-out kitchen's success is achieving a space that reflects honest materials and well-crafted detailing at every turn. This is where Rob Sanders Designer can help you with your renovation dreams. Achieving a stand-out kitchen project may require sourcing diverse craftspeople to undertake every aspect of the job – but this can be costly in terms of time and money. A more effective approach may be to choose a designer that offers skilled experience to every aspect of the project!

Austin McMansion Ordinance

BEFORE







Rob Sanders Custom Home & Building Designer recently completed work on two projects under the City of Austins "McMansion Ordinance" requirements. The first project (4514 Depew Avenue) is a 1-story home with a 2-story garage apartment behind it (facing an alley). The second project (4810 Rowena Street) is a new duplex in Hyde Park. This duplex was designed on a previous single family lot. The lot slopes with many trees that had to be saved. This was achieved, along with meeting the proper guidelines for Impervious Cover, F.A.R. (floor to area ratio), and Setback/Articulation as required by the Austin McMansion Ordinance. The project also met the rules of the Hyde Park Neighborhood Association. If you fall under the McMansion jurisdiction (Central Austin) and need plans for a new home, remodel or addition, please consider the services of Rob Sanders Design.
