The Woodlands Residence – Second Floor Home Addition
A 1,200 sq. ft. second-floor addition featuring two bedrooms with custom built-ins, a dedicated office, storage area, and a dormer with exterior windows, supported by a 30-foot engineered beam for structural integrity.
Project Overview
Completed in 2022, this Woodlands, TX residence expanded with a 1,200 sq. ft. second-floor addition at a project cost of $180,000. The new level introduced two bedrooms with custom built-ins, a dedicated office, and a storage area. A dormer with exterior windows was incorporated to provide natural light and architectural interest, seamlessly blending the addition with the home's existing style.
A 30-foot engineered beam was installed to support the structure, ensuring both strength and long-term stability while allowing for the spacious new layout above the first floor.
Challenges & Solutions
Adding a full second story required careful architectural planning, structural engineering, and permitting to maintain code compliance and ensure the addition integrated seamlessly with the original home. The installation of the 30' engineered beam was a key challenge, solved through precise coordination between structural engineers and the construction team.
Structural & System Integration
The project included installation of a new HVAC system for the addition, upgraded plumbing and electrical wiring, and enhanced insulation to improve comfort and efficiency. The design carefully balanced the existing structural framework with the new load requirements.
Material Selection & Finishes
High-quality materials were selected to create a polished and durable living space: custom carpentry, tile, carpet, windows, lighting, and built-in storage solutions. Interior finishes, including paint and trim work, were chosen to align with the home's existing character while modernizing the new spaces.
Architectural Planning
Careful coordination of permits, structural engineering, and design integration ensured the addition blended seamlessly with the original home while meeting all building codes and providing maximum functional value for the homeowners.
