Project Summary

A charming renovation and small addition at this Bungalow-style home in Salt Lake City’s Liberty Wells neighborhood. The lower level design includes a primary suite, laundry room, and family room. On the main level, we designed a small addition to make room for a larger staircase between the two levels and a mudroom for added storage and access to the home’s backyard.
